Resources for teaching Unity Pathways
Unity Learn offers free online learning Pathways. These in-depth, self-guided experiences are suitable for use as extracurricular activities or as part of your program materials.
Unity Essentials
A first step toward gaining the context and skills needed to create in Unity. Completing the Pathway gives students the foundation to embark on further learning.
Junior Programmer
For anyone interested in learning to code or obtaining an entry-level Unity role. This Pathway equips students to take the Unity Certified Associate: Programmer exam.
Creative Core
Covers all of the core elements needed to bring any vision to life. Students learn visual effects (VFX), lighting, animation, audio, UI, and other code-free creative skills.
Bring Unity into your curriculum with free Unity Learn courses designed to get educators ready to provide engaging, scaffolded learning experiences across a broad spectrum of subjects.

Computer science
Create with Code is a standards-aligned, full-course curriculum for teaching computer programming for Unity development. It includes everything educators need to successfully bring Unity into their computer science classrooms. Students learn to program their own projects in C# coding language and, upon completion, will be ready for the Unity Certified User: Programmer Exam.
Get started with Create with Code [36 hours 30 minutes]

Game design and development
Set students on the path to becoming game developers with Unity, the platform used by professionals around the world. Find everything you need to teach game design and development, from game design fundamentals, game narrative, and no-coding-required game kits all the way to student-led projects they code themselves.
Teaching game design and development [36 hours 50 minutes]

Virtual reality (VR)
Create with VR is an introductory course where students learn the fundamentals of designing and developing virtual reality (VR) applications. Recorded live sessions with expert educators are included to help refine implementation of VR in education settings. Planning resources – including a syllabus, lesson plans, and more – prepare educators to lead students in confidently developing interactive VR experiences in Unity.
Dive into Create with VR [30 hours]

AI and machine learning
Creating responsive and intelligent virtual players and non-playable game characters (NPCs) is hard, especially when the game is complex. To create intelligent behaviors, developers previously had to write tons of code or use highly specialized tools. Now, with machine learning, developers can more easily build these elements and achieve dynamic, compelling gameplay.

Film, animation, and storytelling
Explore interactive digital storytelling using Unity and tap into how digital storytellers construct narratives for interactive media like games, film animations, and unique art projects. See how Unity UI elements are used and develop an understanding of core logic, interaction physics, and workflows for turning video and photographs into digital assets for your 3D environments.
