This fall, Ontario Tech’s Engineering Outreach is offering Game Development with Unity, a beginner-friendly workshop where high school students in grades 9 to 12 will learn to design and code their own basic 2D game using Unity, the same professional engine used to build thousands of popular titles.
This is more than just a fun after-school activity. Unity and C# are industry-standard tools that open doors to careers in game development, software engineering, animation, and beyond. Students will walk away with a completed game project they can showcase, as well as skills they can highlight in portfolios, post-secondary applications, or as a first step toward a career in technology.
What students will do
- Learn Unity, one of the most widely used game engines in the world
- Code in C#, a versatile programming language used beyond gaming
- Design and test a 2D game from idea to prototype to playtest to final build
- Apply core game design principles such as movement, physics, scoring, and user interface
- Finish with a basic but fully functional 2D game they designed and coded themselves
Why parents choose this program
- Teaches in-demand coding and problem-solving skills
- Provides a professional-level project to strengthen school and program applications
- Offers a fun, structured way to explore careers in technology, engineering, and digital design
- Beginner-friendly, no prior coding experience required
