2D and 3D Video Games in Unity for Kids In this course, we will teach foundational topics in programming video games in 3d motion, collision detection, level design, and some basic C# coding. They will also be exposed to some core mathematical concepts including how to work with two dimensional and three dimensional coordinate systems. For a week to week program, check out the syllabus.

Syllabus
10 Lessons
over 10 WeeksLesson 1:
Introduction
Students will be introduced to Unity and gain an understanding of how to interact with the editor. They will begin by creating a 2D game template, where they will learn the interface of the Engine, as well as how to use the main tools provided.
60 mins online live lesson
Lesson 2:
2D Physics Demos
Students will create two physics demos that showcase how physics functions in the Unity Engine for 2D games.
- Creating a Mass-Scale with lever, fulcrum, and multiple masses
- Trampolines and Friction

Lesson 3:
Physics
Students will create a 3D game where we play around with physics to roll a marble onto a balancing object in order to do a little physics experiment to get used to the Unity Engine.
