Here at Emanuel Academy, we have created a computer curriculum which challenges the students creatively and intellectually. In the fifth grade, students are introduced to the world of 3-d modeling and animation by way of Anim8or and Terragen. Both programs challenge the student to learn object manipulation in a 3 dimensional world while working within the bounds of a 2 dimensional environment, namely the flat screen.
