When we look into the future of STEM education it’s absolutely vital to be at a place that resonates with the core values and interests of youth today. In my experience there is a widening gap of knowledge between students, teachers and the growing technologies we expect them to take on tomorrow. At any level, an educator being able to discuss and use even introductory level terminology paves the way for the overall interest in a topic and a better community understanding of where the tech (and available jobs) are heading. Subjects like 3D modelling and working within a 3D worldspace should not continue to be mysterious and intimidating. It’s our job looking ahead to intergrate elements of it into our ciriculums. Here’s some images from my education team chat on this subject today (ft: my old Ninja Golf model on sketchfab)
