Background Info.
Blender is an excellent 3D modeling, rendering, and video editing program among other things. One of its best features is that is completely free and open source. It will run on Windows, Linux, and MacOS. It is available on all of the school desktops, the classroom LAN, and there is also a portableapps.com version to install on the school laptops if necessary.
For this project students will use Blender to create a 3D model and rendering of a Jack O' Lantern. To assist students I have found two excellent tutorials online:
