Imagine a situation – you are trying to describe how something functions, but are having trouble finding the correct words. For example, how a manual transmission works, “Rotating gears… , shifting gear……..and how the car moves forward.” Explain3D is developing a simple and easy solution for this challenge: 3D interactive simulations.
Explain3D is something like 3D wiki for technical education. System helps people understand how things work. The goal of the Explain3D team is to create an interactive educational tool. Explain3D is using principles of game based learning and interactive education in 3D environment. The simulations have a variety of functions, like rotation of selected simulation or you can get more information after clicking on objects. Some simulations have advanced functions, and become more interactive like the manual transmission where you can shift gears.
Why crowdfunding?
Since publishing the project prototype, we recieved a lot of messages with ideas and sugestions, how to improve system to became helpful educational tool. All these ideas are great, not because they are YOUR ideas, but they are ideas of teachers and educators and they reflect their needs. Our campaign can be found here: http://igg.me/at/explain3d/x/4778015
Future of explain3D. Where we want to get?
Develop 8 complex simulations – create 8 complex simulations from field of mechanics, transportation and physics.
Redesign of user interface for better experience – for better experience from education, we would like to make some small redesigns of web and user interface of simulations and add new functionality to simulations
Create virtual museum of inventors – we would like to create virtual museum of inventors (3D models of inventors) with descriptions of their most valuable inventions, that changed the world
We decided for crowdfunding the system, because explain3D could be a useful tool for educators and teachers and create technical education fun. Therefore we need your cooperation. Best for the project is your contribution. If it’s not possible, sharing a project on social networks and blogs is also very helpful. If you have more questions, feel free to contact me
Together, we can create education fun!
