Now the real tool arrives: Blender — a professional, free 3D program that artists and engineers use for animation, 3D modeling, and even designing things to 3D-print. Eon's dad calls it an "all tools in one box."
How they'll learn it
Instead of dull drills, Eon's dad uses project-based learning:
Pick something you want to make, and learn every skill by building it.
Eon wants a watch — so that becomes the project. His dad will model the watch and cut the build into bite-size videos, each teaching one small thing. On its own, each step is easy; combined, they add up to the whole watch.
Don't be scared by "complicated"
Blender can look overwhelming at first — but his dad reframes it perfectly:
"It will be overwhelming at first, but it's not so complex. It's just a skill. Watch me do it, like watching a carpenter, and then you can do it yourself."
That's true of almost anything hard: break it into steps, watch, copy, practice.
Try it
Pick a tiny "project" you'd love to make — a watch, a ring, a toy. Then ask: what's the very first small step? That's how every big build begins.
