3D Animation Field Trip for High School Students

[bethel]

Hi, I'm a high school teacher in Virginia and am planning to take the students to Chicago in April on a field trip to visit museums, etc. I would also like to visit schools that teach 3D animation (preferably Lightwave), or visit studios that produce 3D animations commercially. If anyone knows of some resources, can you please let me know so that I can contact these organizations and arrange for a visit? Thanks

See if you can find a cool place to take them too. EA had an artist's area actually made to look like a dungeon, that will leave an lifelong impression on those kids...
