About Us
In order to promote the widespread use of the open source animation tool Blender, CGGE (CG Global Entertainment) proposes to hold an international Blender animation talent showcase event to educate and inspire learners aged 8 to 17 to understand CG and its applications. The first talent showcase event will be held in Greater China. We welcome interested schools, cultural and educational groups or non-governmental organizations to join us so that more aspiring artists can obtain animation resources.
In 2023, China has achieved many major developments, breakthroughs and innovations in the aerospace field, including the launch of scientific satellites, satellites in earth observation, astronomical observation and other fields, including Fengyun-306, Environmental Disaster Reduction-206, Ceres-1 No. 7 launch vehicle, etc. The successful launch and operation of satellites have provided important data support for China’s research in related fields. At the same time, China has also developed new observation equipment and data processing technology to improve the accuracy and efficiency of space observation.
In view of this, this program aims to allow students to learn 3D animation-related knowledge and skills, and use talent display activities to allow students to use their creativity to create animation works related to space and aerospace technology, and to celebrate China’s great efforts and achievements in aerospace science.
According to estimates from the World Economic Forum, 65% of primary school freshmen will be engaged in new types of jobs that have not yet appeared. Modeling and animation have rich applications in marketing, design, visualization, analogy and entertainment, and are undoubtedly core skills that digital economic participants must possess.
As an educational partner of Blender Studio, Krystal Institute collaborates closely with the Blender Institute to offer the Chinese version of Blender Studio, providing Chinese animators with an excellent opportunity for animation production.

Through the use of Blender software, primary school students were introduced to the basic techniques and concepts of animation production. Under professional guidance, students completed an animation project centered on traditional Chinese culture, enhancing their creativity and technical literacy. The program not only promoted teamwork but also inspired students to explore science and art while fostering their interest in 3D animation.
