Rapid Prototyping with Unity Game Engine

Mahrukh Tauseef

Wednesday, June 11th 12-1 pm | 1400 18th Ave S A3002F

Do you have big ideas but feel overwhelmed by the world of coding? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to let that stop you. Join us on Monday at 10am for a hands-on session with Mahrukh Tauseef, who will guide you through a live demonstration of building a quick prototype using the Unity Game Engine.

During this talk, you will see Mahrukh sketch out a concept and bring it to life by assembling its core elements in Unity. The goal is to help you visualize your idea in a tangible form—fast—so you can begin collecting feedback and refining it. This session is all about lowering the barrier to entry and showing how even a little work in Unity can go a long way toward turning your idea into reality. Pizza lunch will be provided.
