I will show and explain how to create parts of the game while students follow along. In this course we will be exploring the drag and drop functionality of unity as well as learning how to code in C#. We will be covering basic coding concepts like working with variables, functions, and the game loop so no coding experience is required. By the end of the course students will have the knowledge of how to create a basic 3D game using Unity and C#. Please make sure that you can download the free version of Unity from here: https://store.unity.com/download-nuo Please download unity before the class starts so you can make sure it will work with your computer/laptop and it will help ensure all students are ready to start the game in the first class instead of waiting for the program to download.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have a degree in computer science and have been coding for over 11 years. I have also worked a few years in the industry creating desktop games. As someone who was originally self taught I know how important it is to learn code by being very hands-on and experimenting, which is how I will be teaching.
