Please see below for information regarding the 2022 Coding for Game Design Summer Program. Additional information will be added as we approach Summer 2022.
Currently, we are planning to offer two in person sessions and one virtual session this summer (please see below for session dates). NYU continues to closely monitor developments related to COVID-19 and adjust University policy accordingly.
Learn from game design and coding experts from the CREATE lab at New York University how to design games and use Unity!
In this two-week session, participants will learn about the principles of game design, and will be introduced to C# and Unity scripting, which they will use to create their own custom games! The program emphasizes team collaboration and close work with experienced CREATE game designers and developers. Students will work together and independently to create 3D Unity games based on design principles and development techniques used by professionals at NYU.
