Course Description
Get a taste for real-world app development with this two-week, elite Academy experience. You'll create a polished app with a team of peers!
In the first week, discover the basics of app development with Unity—an industry standard development tool—and C#. Build up your UX/UX expertise while working on coding interactions that help people interface with technology they already own.
Once you've mastered the basics, you'll work in a collaborative team environment to realize a shared vision. You’ll also be checking-in and checking-out code in online repositories, learning about branches, and actively versioning code in a live project. Your experience will culminate in an app, or even a game, that's ready for the big-time. Work together and keep coming back to add more polished content to your portfolio with something new and exciting in each session.
