Game Art and C# Scripting Camp: Animate a Character in Unity
A four-day camp for ages 11 to 15. Learners draw a simple 2D character, animate it and write short C# scripts to make it walk, jump and react in Unity.
Class Experience
Day one is art: a character sprite with a few frames. Day two brings it into Unity and sets up animations. Days three and four add C# scripts for movement and for switching animations. The teacher shares working code at each step so nobody gets stuck on typing.
How classes work
The camp meets 4 days in one week for 55 minutes a day, with up to 5 learners. Each day builds on the one before.
