2D Video Games in Unity for Kids

In this course, we will teach foundational topics in programming video games in 2d motion. They will also be exposed to some core mathematical concepts including how to work with two dimensional coordinate systems.

The first few weeks, we will learn the basics of using the Unity software while playing and editing pre-built games. After that we will embark on a larger project for the rest of the course: to make a full 2d video game. Students will be given resources that allow them to express themselves creatively through their project. Learning how to make artistic choices when designing the game will be equally as important as the programming experience gained in this project.
