Doers and Dreamers: A Digital Arts Scholarship Is Announced

Building on the success of three Doers and Dreamers recipient cohorts, the team is launching Doers and Dreamers H-Class, a special edition scholarship offering five selected artists from underrepresented communities in Canada a scholarship of $5,000CAD towards Think Tank’s signature Houdini-focused program, Houdini for Film or Games.

Starting February 5, 2025, this online program teaches students with no experience in CG how to develop complex VFX sequences. With a specific focus on Houdini software, graduates from this program step into the industry with an elevated insight into one of most in-demand tools.

People of all genders, abilities, and identities from underrepresented communities in Canada, including members of Indigenous, Black and racialized groups, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ2+ communities are encouraged to apply for this initiative.
