About the course
How we learn: from first meeting to a personal portfolio

How Do Classes Work?

At the start of learning, the teacher gets to know the child, their interests and hobbies. Together they choose which projects will be interesting to create. Based on this, an individual track is built: the child learns on what they truly enjoy.

Getting to know

Your child's interests and goals

Personal track

Projects your child enjoys

Lessons on Zoom

1–2 times a week, 60 minutes

Portfolio

Lesson recordings and parent feedback

What the Child Will Achieve

01

Ready Portfolio

Projects will be published on professional platforms — this is already the first step towards a creative or tech career.

02

Understanding the Profession

The child will try themselves as a 3D artist and understand if they want to continue in this direction

03

Inspiration and Confidence

We don't just teach how to work in programs — we help children believe in themselves and see results.

Frequently asked questions

The program is built around your child's interests: together with the teacher, they choose the projects they enjoy. If you still decide to stop, we refund all unused lessons.

Kids and teens ages 7 to 17. Our 3D modeling classes for kids start from scratch: no prior 3D experience is needed, and the program suits children with different interests and skill levels. As Katya Sycheva, LUMO's founder, puts it, all children are different: each has their own pace, temperament and interests. That's why, at the start, the teacher gets to know your child, and together they choose projects that fit their interests. See who teaches at LUMO.

One-on-one with the teacher on Zoom, once or twice a week, 60 minutes each. Every child follows their own track.

Every lesson is recorded and comes with learning materials, so any topic can be revisited.

Parents receive feedback from the teacher, and the results show in the projects that make up the child's portfolio.

The full course is 40 one-on-one 60-minute lessons: $1,280 with a 20% discount when you pay for the full course upfront ($32 per lesson) or $1,600 at the standard price ($40 per lesson). You can also pay monthly — $160 with one lesson a week (4 lessons). No hidden fees, and we refund all unused lessons.

Book a free trial lesson: your child will open Blender for the first time and start creating their first character right away.

Yes, animation is part of the course. After modeling, your child learns texturing and character animation and turns the model into their own short cartoon. So these are 3D animation classes for kids too, not only modeling lessons — online, one-on-one, with a live teacher. The free trial lesson is the first step: your child opens Blender for the first time and starts creating their first character.

Yes. Blender is free 3D software: you download it from blender.org and don't need to buy a license. It is a professional tool used by studios and indie game developers, so kids learn 3D design in the same program studios work in. Our approach is “Art first, tools second”: in our Blender classes for kids, the teacher guides your child one-on-one, and the idea comes before the buttons.

A Windows, macOS or Linux computer that can run Blender; the official system requirements are on blender.org. We don't teach on iPad yet, so our Blender lessons for kids need a computer. The lessons themselves run on Zoom, one-on-one, 60 minutes each.

English or Russian, whichever is more comfortable for your child. As part of the course, kids learn Blender's interface and 3D terms in English, so they can follow English tutorials and join the community. Just tell us which language you prefer when we contact you about the free trial lesson.

The lesson time is agreed with each family individually, after your request. Lessons are one-on-one, once or twice a week, 60 minutes each, so we look for a time that fits your child's week. Leave your contact details, and we'll reach out to find a convenient time for the free trial lesson.
