Curso de desarrollo de juegos con Unity: ¡Crea y codifica tu primer juego!

Welcome! In this bootcamp course, students will dive into the world of game development using Unity, one of the most popular game engines in the world! This beginner-friendly course is designed specifically for kids ages 12 and up, with no prior experience required. Throughout the course, students will learn how to build their own 3D game from scratch, starting with basic object manipulation, then advancing to coding with C# to add movement, interactions, and even coin collection! By the end of the course, students will have a playable game they can show off to friends and family, along with a foundation in coding and game development.

What will be taught? 

Students will be introduced to both the Unity interface and C# coding through interactive projects designed to be fun and engaging. The course focuses on game design concepts such as object movement, physics, collision detection, and player interaction. We will also explore adding sound effects and particle effects to create a visually appealing and fun game. Topics covered include:
- Navigating Unity’s interface and tools
- Object creation and manipulation (3D objects, transforms)
- C# scripting to control player movement (keyboard input)
- Adding physics-based interactions like jumping and gravity
- Collision detection and triggers for interacting with objects (e.g., collecting coins)
- Adding platforms, hazards, and rewards
- Implementing sound and visual effects to enhance gameplay

How is the class structured?

The class is structured in a project-based, hands-on format, with each session focusing on one key element of game development.

My Teaching Style 

I emphasize hands-on learning with live demonstrations and encourage students to follow along in Unity as I show them how to implement various game elements. I explain concepts in a simple, easy-to-understand manner, using analogies and real-life examples to keep things relatable. My teaching style is interactive, and I check in frequently to ensure each student is following along. Students are encouraged to ask questions at any point during the lesson, and I'll provide immediate feedback and assistance as they build their projects.
