Are you curious to learn more about the mathematics behind computer modeling and animation? While Pixar's new 'Pixar in a Box' is aimed at kids, I found it a real pleasure to watch.
Following examples from their movies, the series explores concepts like subdivision surfaces, interpolation of motion, automatic generation of models and more. Each section is presented by actual Pixar team members and zooms in on one aspect from their block busters.
'Pixar in a Box' is a collaboration with the renowned Khan Academy, who do an amazing job at providing free on-line education.

Update: This interview with Tony DeRose has a glowing mention of Blender! (I'm not telling you where because this video is totally worth watching ;-)

Hi,
wow thats cool Media Content for learning & teaching....Great
Blender infos about how the Magic the math in such 3D sytem works is a missing part ...
Hope the big Players show some more child corect learning content.
