With this path, youth who enjoy writing code will learn how to start using the free Unity Real-Time Development Platform to build their own digital 3D games and worlds.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"348\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/46780548555_b31473523d_k-500x348-1.jpg\" alt=\"A teenage girl presenting a digital making project on a tablet\" class=\"wp-image-58922\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Professional developers are using Unity to create well-known games such as <em>Mario Kart Tour<\/em> and <em>Pok\u00e9mon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX<\/em>. We\u2019ve partnered with Unity to offer any young person, anywhere, the opportunity to take their first steps in creating virtual worlds using real-time 3D. The five-part Unity path we offer is educational and shows young people that if they can imagine something, then they can create it digitally with Unity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Who is the Unity livestream for? Why should young people join?<\/h2>\n<p>For young people, coding in Unity can be a fun experience of creating their own 3D worlds. And it also helps them learn skills that can be useful and desirable in the tech sector.<\/p>\n<p>Unity is a step up for young people who have coded in a text-based language before and are interested in creating interactive 3D games and stories. In Unity, they\u2019ll write code in the programming language C# \u2014 pronounced \u2018cee sharp\u2019. It\u2019s a great opportunity to build on their existing coding and problem-solving skills.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/CoolestProjects_03072020-205-copy-500x333-1.jpg\" alt=\"Four young coders show off their tech project for Coolest Projects.\" class=\"wp-image-78334\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Introducing young people to Unity means that they will begin to use the same tools as professional 3D developers.
