Look at this course from Pixar on storytelling https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/pixar/storytelling
Go do the Pixar in a box course in khan academy.
Not sure if that's what you're looking for, but check out Pixar's collection on Khan Academy. It helped me a lot even though it's not extremely deep https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/pixar
Khan Academy has programming classes, including both AP courses. Also look at their Pixar in a Box classes. Free
EdX has a bunch of college level CS courses, including several verions of Harvard's CS50 courses. Start with Introduction to CS. Free to audit.
For anyone who wants to get their feet wet just a little (pun not intended). https://www.khanacademy.org/partner-content/pixar/simulation. Also recommend checking out the entire series.
* Subscribe to Beast Academy, and do the interesting problems (puzzle and challenge ones). Cost is $15/month, and you should be able to do this fast, so it shouldn't be too high
* Sign up for Alcumus. This is free. Set it to easy. Try problems in each section, and use this to identify gaps. If you find a gap, do a deep dive to address it. If you can't solve a problem independently, solve it using online resources (but put in the wrong answer / give up -- you don't want the ITS thinking you could do it).
* Watch videos on 3B1B, and sign up for Brilliant. Take a few courses.
* This will sound silly, but do sinerider, nandgame, and the fun Khan Academy courses (Advanced JavaScript and Pixar-in-a-Box), and things like this. Math is broad, and those give helpful exposure to a broader range of topics.
