Subject: Sections

Topic Discussion - Decision Action
Teaching materials Teaching material should consists of slides, (video) tutorials, teachers booklet and perhaps some more. Tutorials should be based on the badges, otherwise it becomes something different (different learning goals). Length of the video’s should be 5 - 7 minutes (length of students concentration). We need to setup a format (uniformity) and requirements for the teaching materials. Federico will create a setup. We need to add feedback.
Pitch deck Need to work towards a pitch deck. Once we have an agreed upon format we can work this out for all badges
Blender apps Blender apps and templates should be something to consider in the long term or bigger plan. For now we focus on the teaching material, otherwise it becomes too big.
VSE Review and feedback on Andrea’s proposal for VSE foundation badges Andrea will adjust
Grease Pencil Catina added feedback to the Grease Pencil foundation badges Needs review
Infographic Andrea updated the Infographic with the new link Review pull request

Next meeting in 1 month

hi, as i’m a teacher of math, i can say it is important to have the geometry basic tools , basic shapes adjustable.and grease pencil probably is the right object to support the tools.
also supporting wrinting math expression and complex symbols and shapes and what is needed here is Latex languages, there is a library of writing math in Javascript: MathLive, so it directly show the result no need of any rendering like latex "about Katex, no idea ".
