We were finally able to get Unity on computers today and the kids got started. I absolutely love the curriculum. The video was well made and easy to follow. I printed out the slides from the fabulous PowerPoint file and the kids will appreciate using that as a reference. Love the vocab page. Love the assignment page. Completely in love with the cliffs notes and little GIFs depicting concepts. So impressive.

Mastery Coding Simplifies Learning Unity for High Schoolers
Unity is a huge package and pretty complicated so having something like Mastery Coding is really important because it gives a structure to go through the most important parts of what would otherwise be an overwhelming tool for the students... Using Mastery Coding, student could go from not knowing anything to actually having something working and feeling good about what they're doing.
