# Event Details - **Event Name**: Unity x AI = Now Anyone Can Make Video Games - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Jun, 2025 at 10:00 am – Sat, 28 Jun, 2025 at 05:00 pm - **Event Description**: This course will introduce the Unity game engine in a clear, practical way. Instructed by Dave Sheinkopf (Columbia University/Smooth Tech)About this EventUnity has long been the choice for aspiring game developers. It has a large intuitive visual interface, but relies on code to dictate game interactions and behavior. Now with modern AI tools, the code component is accessible to developers with little or no coding experience. This course will introduce the Unity game engine in a clear, practical way.  It will cover the basics of the UI and how things work in a 3D video game environment.  We will then move on to integrate code into this environment and understand interactions and scoring. We will end by building a game and deploying it to the web with WebGL.  Who Is This ForAspiring game developers looking to demystify UnityInteractive designers who want to learn how to learn how to simulate interactive spacesAnyone who wants to learn how virtual worlds work in a video game engineNo previous experience requiredMaterialsLaptop capable of running Unity1 Month Subscription to Claude AI Pro ($20 billed monthly)Code editor (VS Code recommended)Workshop Schedule (6 Hours Total)TimeSessionHighlights10:00 – 10:15Welcome & IntrosIntro to me and to Video Game Engines10:15 – 11:15Overview of UnityWhat is unity and what does it do?11:15 – 12:15Rolling Ball GameMake a basic rolling ball that will be the foundation of our game.

IDM is not such a program. Even a cursory look at the makeup of our faculty, the courses we teach, and our academic and professional practice cannot fail to give the impression that we are a program hard to pin down: an eclectic crew of singular individuals gathering the arts, design, engineering and humanities into our capacious minds and hands. A visit to our floor and a few conversations with our students would reveal much the same: terrifically busy crisscrossing mediums, genres, and forms; curious, critical, and creative. We could add, with no little pride, that we temper this spirit of experimentation and invention with a commitment to criticality and ethical and social responsibility; to engage in 'art for art's sake, design for the market' would be no good. So perhaps this is what, despite the diversity of disciplines, practices and skills we present, binds us together - faculty and students - in common cause, that we believe to create entails a commitment to what Hyginus deemed as constitutive of the human condition: care." } ] } ] ```
