Combining character animation, story-telling, 3D environment design with 360 virtual reality environments, this 3-hour workshop is best described as “making space for endless imagination.”

Using a classroom cloud-based 3D virtual reality creation environment that features drag and drop 3D objects and images, students are free to create various scenes that can be viewed by anyone online, including in Google Cardboard-based virtual reality headsets.

Each group of students will design, model, screen write, and animation a 5-minute short film which will be available for online VR viewing by family and friends.

VR viewers will be available for purchase for $10.00 after the workshop.
