We have two computer labs of 33 computers each at our school. Students will have their own stations and I will have a instructor station with an LCD projector. I'm starting off in Wings3D because of all the free 3D apps I've tried it has the lowest learning curve and is fun to use.

After that, I think I'll be moving on to blender. After visiting the sight and seeing what people are doing with it and the new revamped interface, I decided its the best free app for modelling, rendering, animating and UV mapping.

I'll be using GIMP for texturing.

There is no budget for this, my time is voluntary.
