Program Information

Here's an idea of the content we'll be working through:

Day One — We’ll get to know each other with some icebreakers and get to know our courses and groups. We will put you in your preferred group and show you our courses. You will start your Unity journey.

Day Two — Continue on with structured learning of computer science concepts and do presentations to show everybody what we have built and learned so far. 

Day Three — You will have the option to start group projects. Get into teams and start brain storming, planning for our imitation client, who wants us to build games. You will learn about Agile project management, Kan Ban boards and Scrum teams.

PM: We have our daily stand-up scrum meeting and get back to work on our projects. More collaboration in teams on projects, we'll go back over what we've learned over the last couple of days.

Day Four — Final Project Day - Code Freeze at 10.30am. We’ll work as a team to build, polish and present/pitch our awesome projects.

At the end of each day at 3:30pm to 4:00pm, students will present what they have achieved so we can all learn new tricks and tips and learn to present properly.
