[game_edu] Unity Workshop Curriculum?

I'm the Academic Segment Manager at Autodesk creating content for the secondary market. We created this last spring, it's for secondary schools and includes the creation of a simple environment and then taking the space into Unity. We have run 3 successful pilots with this and hopefully posting examples later this year. It also includes all of the visual development and lots of video.

This is for Maya, but I also have the entire curriculum for 3rd Max, please feel free to contact me off list if you are interested. We look forward to bringing you some really great new content in late spring.

Beth,

I don't have a direct curriculum to teach Unity, but Unity is the environment for my advanced game design students. The students use the training modules at <http://design3.com> design3.com<http://design3.com>, which are quite extensive, to learn the technology. This frees up class time for discussion of game design concepts, programming in C# and JavaScript vis-a-vis the Unity object model, directed lab work and project critiques. This is my first semester using this method, so I can't tell you how successful or problematic it will be.

Noesis Interactive is a Unity partner. They were able to help us with both Unity Pro licensing and in discounted rates on the video training.

It is humbling almost to the point of despair to discover that 15 dozen screenfuls of ponderous commentary produced by a small liberal-arts faculty worth of beardy gamer geeks can, with almost zero loss of insight, be reduced to the three panels of a Penny Arcade cartoon.

Hey everyone!

I was wondering if anyone has curriculum that includes Unity in a
workshop setting. I am aware of bountiful resources online, but I'm
hoping for something more specific to a workshop format for reference.
Even an outline of what is taught would be helpful. I'm working on
well-rounded curriculum for a two-week intensive workshop for high
school students transitioning into university. It not only includes
Unity, but also art, animation, design, sound, and other aspects.
