This class is a great entry point into the world of game design and coding for your kids. In this extremely accessible course, students will journey through the entire game development process with Unity: from concept to design to development to porting & publishing on mobile platforms. The Unity Game Engine is free, and is one of the most popular and accessible game engines for both aspiring and professional developers to create cross platform games for PC, Mac, iPad, Android and more. Even many popular console games (PS5, Xbox, Switch) are made with UNITY engine. Unity Engine was created to fulfill the desire of creating any type of video game such as 2D platformers, racing games, FPS games, maze games, arcade, action games, etc. Unity Engine is available on Windows, Mac and Linux platforms. In this course, students will first learn the basics of using the UNITY Engine Engine and begin building a full-fledged 2D game from start to finish. Students will be provided with all the necessary tools and resources and guided through the entire game development process. Students will be encouraged to be as creative and original as possible throughout the entire course. What differentiates this course from others is that this course focuses on the digital arts as well: Visual Arts, Graphic Design, Audio & Music Production, Reading and Creative Writing. Intro to Game Design & Coding With UNITY Engine is truly a STEAM (Science Technology Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) course. By the end of this class, students will have have not just created their own video game from scratch, but also be able to play it on any desktop computer or mobile device.

Supply List
To install Unity, it is a two step process. 1. First you must download Unity Hub (https://unity3d.com/get-unity/download). Once it is downloaded, open the program to install Unity Hub. 2. Once you’ve installed Unity Hub, open the program and go to the “Installs” tab on the left side of the hub. Then click the blue “Add” button, select the 2020 LTS version (the recommended first one that pops up). Once this step is finished, Unity will be installed. If you have any issues with this please let us know. A lot of this will be reviewed in the first class, to ensure that all students’ Unity Engine’s are properly installed and functional for the rest of the class. Please be aware that UNITY is a professional software suite (that's great for kids!) but it does require a decent computer. The more RAM and the faster the hard drive (SSD's) the better it'll perform and the happier our learners will be!
