Unity Gaming In Detail
Over the course of the week, you'll program and design a Platformer-style game with Unity. You will customise your game with platforms, enemies, traps and more.
This course will teach you the basics of C# by either creating your own scripts or adding to pre-made ones. By the end of the course you will have a game with multiple levels and, most importantly, you will have the confidence to go and develop more games within Unity in the future!
Our Tutors
We've brought together the best of our tutors to instruct and help the students. They're typically recent graduates or undergraduates studying Engineering or Computer Science at leading Russell-group Universities. Of course they're chosen for their communication and technical skills and have Enhanced DBS checks for working with children.
Our Sessions
Engaging learning must be hands-on. Our 'At Home' programme offer a mix of video tutoring, collaborative learning and self-paced project work during and after the session to make sure that learning is deep, engaging and lasting.

FAQs
My child has no prior experience - can they still attend?
Yes! We don't assume any prior knowledge for our courses. The only exception is if when we run followup courses that are labelled as 'Advanced' or 'Level 2' that normally require the prior course to have been taken. Do ask if you're unsure.
Should my child do anything to prepare for the course?
Do we really have to have the webcam on?
Will they be with similar-aged children?
What do they have to do after each session finishes?
The online course was great and the tutor engaged with the children and helped them calmly and effectively - we were not needed at all. My son really enjoyed the course and did all of the extra challenges too.
