Blender

Blender is free 3D software suite for creating models, animations, videos, and games.  Widely used and supported by an international community of professionals, schools and hobbyists, it is an ideal tool for our teaching and learning processes.

Blender's built-in 3D game engine enables true real-time interactivity into simulations and games by including advanced animation and lighting effects, as well as gravity and collisions.

The development of games centers around Blender's "logic bricks", which provide a visual way to make connections, actions, and reactions.  The game engine is also highly customizable using the Python programming language.
