Grasshopper® is a graphical algorithm editor tightly integrated with Rhinoceros® (Rhino) 3D modeling software. Grasshopper offers new ways to develop and control computer generated models, together with presetting repetitive processes and producing geometry through mathematical functions; a form created by a series of mathematical operations instead of conventional commands.

To help in learning Grasshopper, we have created SudoHopper3D®, a card game to improve the overall understanding of parametric thinking. SudoHopper3D® playfully takes you on a journey through mathematics, algorithms and basic coding. Players surprisingly learn concepts such as vector geometry and trigonometry.

SudoHopper3D® advantages do not stop at simple math skills. Besides the unique math portion of the game, players also learn problem-solving, logic, and sequential reasoning in a socially interrelated and entertaining environment.

*Our online courses do not qualify for proof of academic status for a Rhino educational license as we are not an accredited school offering a degree program.*
