Yes, books are pretty cool, but why stick to textbooks when you can create immersive, interactive learning experiences? With your world-building skills, you can make education truly engaging.

With anitya, you can create immersive learning environments without needing to code. Imagine teaching history by placing learners inside 3D recreations of famous battles, exploring astronomy, or training on how to use a machine or a business process. 

This challenge invites you to show how you can teach any lesson in a 3D world using anitya's low-code tools—simpler than Unity or Unreal, and free to use right in your browser!

🛠️ How the challenge works:

1. Decide on the topic or subject you'd like to teach. It can be anything, from a lesson on the digestive system to how gravity works, or even how Pikachu became the most famous Pokémon. 

Note: Keep it focused and concise! The winner will be the one who explains the lesson most clearly, not the one who builds the largest world. Quality over quantity!

2. Go to anitya.space, log in and head to the world-builder.

3. You can choose an educational template, such as the Science Fair or History Classroom, or start a project from scratch.

4. Import your own assets or use premade ones from 3D libraries like Sketchfab or 3D Warehouse, and start creating. You can add triggers, actions, music, videos, and anything else that supports the narrative of your lesson.

Note: We’ll be sharing small extra tasks related to the challenge on our social media channels and Discord. Completing these tasks will earn you extra points, so stay tuned!

5. Once you’ve finished your project, save it and share the link on our Discord - directly on the submissions channel – done!

🏆 Criteria - What the judges will look for:

• Quality over quantity: As we mentioned earlier, you don't need to create a massive world if your lesson can be taught in a small space.

• Use of anitya’s tools: Make sure to explore the inventory of assets, triggers, and other features.

• Completion of extra tasks: Check the weekly challenge tasks on anitya’s social media channels and Discord. They’re short and sweet, and each one will earn you an extra point.

• Learning experience: It's all about setting up an engaging and effective lesson!

🤝 Extra support to help you:

We’ll be hosting regular Q&A sessions on our Discord, where you can ask any questions you may have about the building process – we’ve got your back!

Our expert team members are also available to assist you at any time, and we’ve got a collection of tutorials on our YouTube channel to help you get started or sharpen your skills with anitya’s tools.
