The Idea

The team discussed on what we should do for the open source project and we came up with the following options:

1) Modified instruction manual for open source animation software for children to understand
   
    Examples of 2D animation software we considered:
    - KTooN: Software for creating simple animations in 5 steps
    - Tux Paint: Animation software designed for young children
   
    Examples of 3D animation software we considered:
    - Blender
    - Art of Illusion

However, 3D design is a skill which require a lot of time to learn. It will require a much longer instruction manual as compared to 2D design software and children are less likely to have the patience to get through with it.

Tux Paint is an ideal software for children as it is designed for that purpose. It's tutorial is in the readme file which consists of a long page of text with few diagrams. Children are unlikely to have the patience read the whole tutorial, much less even open the readme file. What we can do is to recreate the tutorial with a more graphical approach (eg. using comic strip format or a video tutorial), that the developer can add to his program such that the tutorial will appearon the user interface at first launch after installation.

2) Create a Wiki for lower primary students
     - Includes thoroughly simplified pages for subjects (Math/Science/ etc.)
Most wiki pages contain an over-explanation that are too complicated for children to understand.
