About

Hello! Every week, we will cover the basics of creating a simple video game with Unity! You'll learn simple movement, platforming, and more! You'll be expected to write some code and occasionally answer a few of my questions on how the code works. No previous experience necessary!

I'm a high school junior in the IB program, studying mostly Computer Science. I'm joining Schoolhouse to help others feel prepared for the SAT while mastering study skills myself. I love gaming, programming, and food (not always in that order).
