When we see children using computers, we tend to assume they are gaming addicts. But think again.


Students at Chulalongkorn University's Demonstration Elementary School, or Satit Chula, are ready to prove that computers can provide a platform where imagination and joy come together in creative ways.

The school is the country's first institution where primary students can display their talents and inventiveness via computer 3D animation.

The school recently held the CUD Character Design Contest, titled ''My School Bus.'' Eighty-six students submitted their inventions and seven of them were chosen for the final round.

People usually think that animation is about the matter of technique, but in fact it is art, the computer is just a tool to help students to deal with it more easily.
