VR Interaction Design in Unity with NYU Tandon School of Engineering

  • Price: Starting at $1,499
  • Age: Ages 13-19
  • Skill Level: Beginner-Advanced
  • Format: Summer Online Teen Academies | Small-Group, Online

About This Course

Begin with wireframes and programs like Figma to explore and perfect your interactions before you get to a final application. As you progress through the various stages of the design process you'll bring in more tools and hardware, working your way up to Unity. By the time you get into Unity and see all the features it provides, you'll be well prepared to think through the design process and hit the ground running. With curriculum designed and delivered by NYU's world-renowned faculty and industry experts and all the magic of our legendary camps, you’ll build in-demand skills, work in an environment with motivated learners from around the world, and have a blast boosting your portfolio with an official certificate. 

For the best experience, your teen will need a VR-capable device (not included). The curriculum focuses on the Meta Quest 2.

You'll learn to:

  • Understand key UX/UI concepts and how to think like a designer
  • Build application prototypes using figma, Adobe XD, Unity, and more
  • Create engaging user interactions in VR, AR, and XR (extended reality) applications
  • Design, iterate, and implement UI components
  • Develop a portfolio to share with potential universities or employers

Course Format

This course is part of an intensive two-week summer program held online for two hours each day, Monday through Friday. Your teen will learn and collaborate with a small group of other students in assignment-driven workshop courses led by experienced instructors. Office hours are included for further help and personalized guidance. Learn more below.
