Unity Technology Camp in Bilbao 3 Days

Are your children passionate about video games and spend hours and hours with the controller in hand, overcoming increasingly complicated challenges? Are they capable of progressing in the With the game progressing in stages with increasing difficulty, why not invest that time in something practical like, for example, developing your own video game?

It may sound crazy, but it is not at all. If you're passionate about something, why not make it happen through a useful app? There can be no greater personal satisfaction than generating something of your own, with tenacity and effort, and, on top of that, being able to prove it to the astonished gaze of those around us.

And that is what the proposal that we are going to make to children over 12 years old for the summer vacations consists of: during 3 days in July strong>, from 26 to 28 , we have planned a technology camp for the little ones to design their own video game, which would be a >customized replica of Mario Kart, the popular Nintendo brand racing game.

Our workshop will take place every morning, from 09:00 to 14:00, at the AS Fabrik Urban Laboratories located in the city of Bilbao, next to the Nervión River and in front of the UPV/EHU Library. All the lessons will be taught by expert teachers in the Unity program, necessary to carry out our task.

Through it, we will have the opportunity to devise our own circuit, to which we can add curves, ridges, lengths and other elements; configure various items that fulfill functions of help (or hindrance) to other users and outline the appearance and attributes of our characters.

To do this, there will be a continuous learning process that begins with the import of 3D models , with their respective components such as meshes, coordinates, textures and materials, the basis of almost all video games today. It seems extremely complex but we assure you that the children will soak up this dynamic right away.

It is recommended that all attendees have certain basic knowledge related to programming and computing. In addition, it would also be a plus if the participants are fans of technology, in general, and of video games, in particular. Finally, another advantage to keep in mindWhat counts is that the students will even be able to draw the elements that will later be integrated into the game interface

Who knows, maybe one of your children will become the next Hideo Kojima, creator and director of one of the most famous sagas in the world, Metal Gear Solid.
