Congratulations to TEAM 192 Gunn Robotics who won the Excellence in Design - 3D animation competition at last weekends FIRST Robotics Championships in St Louis - enjoy clips from the 21 finalists along with the winning video here: http://youtu.be/dQ3cnX3ubR0

For the 3d animation finalists, all team leads (or person who submitted the entries) should have received an email from me with feedback from the professional judges.

Thank you to all the teams and mentors that participated this year, the 3D animation awards this year were amazingly competitive. In fact, many of the entries evolved from simple visualization to true entertainment and storytelling. This year entries were so good, we couldn’t pick 20 only finalists, 21 were chosen because of a tie. And the creativity in the solutions to improve today’s education facilities were inspiring and thought provoking.

We will be leaving the 3d Animation training videos live on Digital STEAM, so please feel free to encourage your team/students to check it out to further home their 3d skills:
