It was our pleasure to welcome in colleagues and pupils from the D&T dept. @BeaumontLeysSch today. Our @ngenacademy Games Animation and VFX students trained both year 9 pupils and staff in the use of #Blender3d as part of @3Dami 's Train the Trainer programme. #creativity

In this issue, check out our article about Next Gen students' experiences working with school pupils @Judgemeadow, @mead_rushey, and collaborations with @BeanMealsUK and @3Dami. Plus a bunch of great articles from my colleagues here at Gateway College.

Absolute pleasure to see fantastic ambassadors in Next Gen students teaching #Blender3d to 4 different classes today @Judgemeadow as part of a @3Dami project - huge thanks to all the enthusiastic staff at the school in DT and computing who we worked with in organising the day.

Thanks to Ollie from @3Dami for delivering a session for Train the Trainer, the project where our 6th form Next Gen students teach secondary pupils skills in 3D modelling and animation using #Blender3d. Students discovered that instructing even the basics is a skill in itself.

Final day, lots to do! Premiere T-8 hours. @UKScreenSkills #b3d

Audio production is a surreal artform... #3Dami

The #3Dami tendency to add six packs to poor, defenceless animals continues... #b3d

Sometimes, getting on the train without a ticket has consequences... #b3d #3Dami

Just over two days until the premiere. Are we panicking? Just a little! #b3d @UKScreenSkills
