Chat is a terrible place to learn **where things sit in space**. Organs. Cells. Orbits. Request paths. You need a model you can turn — not another wall of paragraphs that vanishes into scrollback.

**Educational 3D Curriculum Tutor** is a public jurniti template on **Codex**. You fork a paid microVM. The agent diagnoses what you want to learn, writes a multi-lesson curriculum, and ships interactive 3D lessons with hotspots and knowledge checks. A simplified human-anatomy seed is already on disk.

## The undeniable demo

1. Fork `/templates/educational-3d-curriculum-tutor`.
2. Open `~/.codex/prompts/artifacts/human-anatomy-intro/index.html` in the dashboard file browser.
3. Orbit the torso. Click heart, lungs, liver. Pass the quiz.
4. Authenticate Codex (`codex login` or export `OPENAI_API_KEY` in the shell).
5. Say: **teach me the water cycle in 3D**.
6. Open the new folder under `~/.codex/prompts/artifacts/` — curriculum + 3D lesson.

## What you own after the fork

- `/learn-3d` prompt + `AGENTS.md` so plain “teach me X” routes into the tutor  
- Artifact contract: scrub-kept paths only (lessons survive public capture)  
- Mode A self-contained HTML for the blob viewer, or Mode B local serve with golden node  
- Subject-agnostic spatial metaphors so anatomy is the seed, not the only subject  

## Lineage

Inspired by [@thebuggeddev’s 3D anatomy explorer](https://x.com/thebuggeddev/status/2083884856531177942)
([github.com/thebuggeddev/anatomy](https://github.com/thebuggeddev/anatomy)). This template is **not** a rehost of that production app. It is the forkable **operator** that builds the next spatial curriculum — with original simplified seed geometry for day-one value.

## Pricing honesty

No free trial. No free tier. First purchase carries a 30-day money-back guarantee. Model and third-party fees are yours (BYOK). Isolation is a Firecracker microVM on jurniti — not a shared notebook seat.

## Who should fork this

- Builders who want a **keepable** spatial curriculum operator  
- Teachers / learners of systems that are easier to see than to read  
- Operators comparing 2D HTML tutors vs 3D curriculum agents  

## Who should pick something else

- Clinical medical training (this is educational exploration only)  
- Anyone who needs photoreal photogrammetry meshes on day one without generating them  
- Teams that only want 2D HTML lessons → try the teacher-learn sibling  

Fork the template. Open the seed. Own the box.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is Educational 3D Curriculum Tutor?

A public jurniti Codex template. You fork a paid microVM that already has a 3D curriculum tutor prompt, AGENTS.md, and a seed anatomy lesson.

### How is this different from teacher-learn?

teacher-learn ships 2D interactive HTML lessons. This template builds multi-lesson curricula with interactive 3D lessons (hotspots + orbit).

### Is there a free trial?

No free trial and no free tier. First purchase includes a 30-day money-back guarantee. Model fees are yours (BYOK).

### Do I need Tripo or mesh APIs?

No. v1 uses procedural / simplified geometry. Optional mesh-gen tools are not required for the seed or for fork-to-value.

### Whose API keys?

Yours. codex login or OPENAI_API_KEY on your microVM. jurniti does not proxy model tokens in v1.

### Where do lessons live after a fork?

Under ~/.codex/prompts/artifacts/ — scrub-kept paths so public template captures keep the tutor and the seed.
