Unity Roll-a-Ball: Your First 3D Game in One Class
A single class for ages 11 to 16. Children build a small 3D game in Unity where a ball rolls around collecting cubes.
Class Experience
The teacher walks through the Unity editor, then builds the game live: a floor, a ball with physics, keyboard controls, spinning pickups and a score. Children follow on their own computers and finish with a playable game.
How classes work
This is a single 55-minute live class with up to 5 learners. The teacher demonstrates, learners take part, and everyone shares at the end.
