Unity and C# One-on-one Private Classes

The lessons are delivered as online video calls via Zoom, making it easy for your child to learn to code wherever in the world you are. Based on the trial, we and you will know exactly, where your child should start. Then, the course progresses at your child’s pace - our tutor will slow down to explain more difficult topics and speed up, when your child feels confident with a certain area of learning. While booking the trial and actual course, you can select the day and time that best suits your schedule. If you cannot find one, please get in touch.

CREATE YOUR OWN GAME WITH UNITY AND C#

Our lessons allow your child to create their very own game, using an idea that they have. Our tutors have the expertise to help create your child’s vision using Unity and C#. As each lesson is custom crafted to fit your child’s idea we offer fun and engaging lessons working towards your child’s passion project. The skills learnt within Unity and C# will allow for much more creative projects as each lesson progresses, further building up the skills required to make any game that your child wishes. The C# portion of the lessons will be a great asset to further boost your child’s skills within the Unity Engine.

Each game a child makes is completely different, here are a few example of projects that we think are a great starting point:

• Tower Defense Game

• Trading Card Game

• Role-Playing Game

• Platformer

• First Person Shooter

• Puzzle Games

Keep in mind that this is just an example of the projects and games we can create. We will mainly focus on using pre-existing assets all available for free, so don’t worry if you cannot create your own artwork!

Our tutors have an expert knowledge of both Unity and Bolt, so can tailor your child’s experience to what they wish to achieve. This offers an unbeatable level of personalisation.

What is Unity?

Unity is one of the world’s leading real-time 3D development platforms. It provides the tools to make great games and publish them to a wide range of devices: whether you want your games on PC, Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch or your smartphone, Unity gives you what you need to easily craft games, and share them through any popular gaming device.

Last but not least, Unity relies on C#, a robust object-oriented programming language that can also be used beyond the scope of making video games.

TRY FREE ONLINE GAMES IN UNITY

There are several games you can play online in Unity. Itch.io contains lots of free games that are made in Unity. Simmer.io also has many games available to play. You can view our favourite online games here. These games give an example of what your child will be capable of making after the full online camp.

TOP GAMES MADE IN UNITY

Among the many games made using Unity over the years, there are top-selling titles worth millions such as:

Unity and C# Knowledge Levels

Our coursework is divided into 6 distinct Unity and C# knowledge levels:

• Level 1 - children with no prior knowledge of Unity and C#

• Levels 2 - 4 - children with varying degrees of Unity and C# knowledge; from using 2D graphics to complex 3D modeling; language structures cover conditionals, loops, variables, objects, queries, and much more.

• Level 5+ - at this stage children know most of Unity and C# syntax. They are able to code most of simple games. At this stage our focus shifts toward game design and development, in order to allow students to plan and develop a full Unity application.

We tailor our course to the needs of every child while keeping existing knowledge alive by reapplying it in new programming contexts. We aim to progress children from level to level approximately every term. As they reach level 5 our focus changes. We start with an introduction to Particle Effects and Visual Shader Graph in Unity, exploring modern state-of-the-art techniques in professional game development. Once students are comfortable with these powerful features included in Unity, we move on to discussing, developing and applying our knowledge in a real game that the children will project from scratch. And as there is no end to computing skills, so there is no end to our course - there is always the next level - the next piece of knowledge to acquire.

Our tutors make it a personalized, exciting and valuable experience

Our experienced tutors will tailor our best in the industry curriculum to suit all students participating in the online course. One-to-one private tuition provide personalized instruction that helps everyone progress at their own pace while being appropriately challenged. Here, at Educademy, we believe it’s more important to ensure every student reaches a good level of understanding than to cover all the topics scheduled for the lesson.

Creating your very own game can be a daunting task, yet our tutors are here every step of the way to create interesting, fun and exciting lessons to help you reach and accomplish your goal.

LEARN UNITY - LEARN COMPUTER SCIENCE - LEARN GAMES

In this online course, students will use Unity to learn the fundamentals of programming in the context of creating their own projects. During the course, they will create several games along with the instructor until they find a game idea they love, manage a larger personal project more independently, and complete challenges and quizzes along the way to solidify and expand their new knowledge. In addition to these core technical competencies, students will learn how to manage a project from start to finish: coming up with a concept, creating a project plan, prioritizing tasks, and hitting milestones. By the end of the camp, students will have the confidence that, given enough time and resources, they can create anything they want with Unity and C#.

Learning objectives

• C# Skills: students will gain a foundational knowledge of programming in C# and will feel confident that you can bring new features into existence with this knowledge

• Unity Skills: You will have the confidence that, given enough time and resources, you can create anything you want in Unity

• Soft skills (collaboration, creativity, communication, critical thinking)

• Growth mindset

• Independent learning skills

• Project planning and prototyping

Fun and sense of achievement

At the core of our approach is the understanding that children learn the most though fun. At Educademy we ensure that each lesson is engaging and entertaining. We ensure every student comes out of it with an enormous sense of achievement. To us, children and their creations are at the centre of the course and we create this wonderful learning environment by tailoring every lesson to each child.

There is more to that than coding

No doubt computer programming is going to be the most important skill of the 21st century. When children learn to create games in Unity and code in C#, they also learn important strategies for solving problems, designing projects, and communicating ideas.

Educademy’s mission is to create a lasting positive outcome. Deep in children’s minds we plant a feeling that they can create wonderful programs. They learn to overcome challenges. They know they can and will succeed in the very field of Computer Science. Equipped with that feeling they are able to face challenges in other areas of their education and future life. They already know they are really good at something. It’s only a matter of time they’ll replicate this success in other areas.
