Hello Everyone,

I am a TA for a summer course that teaches povray for about three weeks
(5 days a week 2-3 hours a day) to high school students.

I have gone through povray tutorial and I can show some of the basic
techniques (which is enough for this course), but I have trouble
coming up with engaging ways.

The only method I can think of is to do it yourself type of teaching
where I render a picture and explain the codes I used and ask the students
to do it, then going around the classroom (10-15 students) making sure
they are ok with it.

I wanted to ask if any of you have a practical yet interesting ideas.

Even with my current method, I am quite troubled due to my inexperience in both
povray and teaching. Because I lack (somewhat) creativity, I have hard time
thinking of projects or pictures to draw.

Thanks
