10:40 Presentations of our art
Folder called thursdayPinPresentation in the public – have your progress there by 10:45.
10:45 Morning Break (10 minutes)
11:00 Pretech Visitors!
Here is what we are going to do Thursday (assume you are going to have them 40 minutes)
- Quick intro to shape keys – Make Kirby Jump up and down being happy. You are TELLING them what to do – they are doing the work.
- Then the visitor is going to model something super basic in Blender for the game. Something for foliage? A building? It’s going to be basic. Let them go crazy in Blender and create…. anything. Pickup, rock, random shape, etc.
- Then you guide them to export the asset and bring into your game. However it comes to UE is fine, we just want to demo the workflow of Blender to UE. Add it in as a background item, show them how to use with foliage, just go crazy.
This is meant to be a low-stress-fun-exploration. Nothing we have to use once they are leave, so if they go off the rails, just smile and help.

2:15 Dailies
2:20 “19 Minutes”
4 of 5 days per week we will end our day in CAWD with the “19 Minutes” of silent reading. Closing down our day with silent reading provides many benefits:
- Improve Literacy Skills / Reading Stamina
- Create space for a small reading meditation where we can disconnect from the world and get lost in a story
- Unplug
At 2:39 each day I will come to 3 students and ask for a 1 sentence explanation of what happened in your story over that day’s reading session. It is neat to hear little pockets of a story, here and there.
2:40 Dismissal
