At the start of the year, you took a short survey.
Completion of the survey is for a grade, but not specifically waht you answer.
Think about the questions and answer them based on what you believe to be true.
We'll revisit it a few times throughout the year. Today is the second time.
Take it here:

Today's the last day for the mini-project. When you finish, or get to a stop point, look at how to install Blender for next week.
Hopefully yesterday you were able to think about and working on creating your own chess pieces.
Today, your time should be mostly focused on learning about some chess variants, and changing your own custom chess set into a variant.
Hopefully yesterday you made good progress, if not finished the monster already. Today's main focus should be on creating a defense for your city, like a couple tanks and/or jets.
Add screenshots of your work today onto your slide for today.
When it comes to digital media, blender can be used in a lot of different industries. Obviously, 3D is used in a lot of products, however, it probably has more potential uses than you realize.
First check if Blender is installed on your computer, check your applicatiosn folder or search for it (press command + space on your keyboard for the shortcut to use the search function).
If you have Blender installed:
Try to open Blender, if it runs then you're good, we'll use it on Monday (you can play with it now if you want).
If it crashes when loading, we made need to try reinstalling, or installing an older version. Ask for help if yours is crashing.
If you don't have Blender installed:
Go to Blender.org to get blender.
Click the download button to go to the download page.
That page should automatically detect that we're using macOS with the Apple Silicon processor.
If that's what yours shows, click download again to download the installer. If it doesn't, and asks you whether to download Mac Intel or Mac Silicon, click the Silicon option.
If you need help, ask.
Once its finished downloading, open the .dmg file.
You should see a little window that looks like this.
It wants you to drag the Blender icon on to the blue folder.
This will start the installation process.
Your computer may say you need authorization.
That means me- let me know and I'll come authorize the installation.
After it finishes, you should be able to find Blender in your applications folder, or by searching for it (press command + space on your keyboard for the shortcut to use the search function).
Try to open Blender, if it crashes when loading, we made need to try reinstalling, or installing an older version. Ask for help if yours is crashing.
