Week 1
Lesson 1
Week 1: Introduction to the Unity Platform, Game Design and Game Layout
Students will jump feet first into their Unity Game Jam. Since we will be using a template based on the Chrome Dinosaur Game, students will learn how to switch their dinosaur into the creature of their choice. We will also discuss how to transform the Cacti as well as background. Week one will end with students sharing screenshots or video of their current game in progress. 
 Week 2
Lesson 2
Week 2: Visual Studio Coding Begins!
This week students will begin to use Visual Studio to explore the endless number of ways they can manipulate the Dinosaur game through their code. We will add lines of code that will switch the Dinosaur with code to the creature they animated and added to the game in week #1. Several additional options will be presented including changing their creature’s size, rotation or even color all using code. 
 Week 3
Lesson 3
Week 3: Fireballs, Prefabs and Instantiate Oh My! 
This week we will take our code to the next level by exploring how to “create objects” in the game using the Instantiate function. We will turn an everyday item into a “Prefab” and write code that will allow the Dinosaur to launch an object with the simple click of a key. We will also learn to build a cooldown time for our projectile and write the code to allow the projectiles to interact with the correct objects. One wrong move and our fireball might attack our Dinosaur!

Week 4: Powerups and Final Game Elements
During our final week we will add power-ups to the game with a variety of unique special abilities. Will you make your dinosaur fly, gain special ammo or something altogether different? We will also learn how to add elements to the game such as a high score board and custom game over graphics. We will conclude this week by learning how to turn our game into a package file to submit for possible publishing. All students will be given the choice to “publish” the game on my website so that they can
