Wired! Summer Workshops: Introduction to Unity

This summer, the Wired! Lab will be hosting an *informal workshop series* for anyone in the Duke community interested in learning Unity. Come learn Unity with a group of likeminded Unity beginners. We’ll start from the very beginning by working through lynda.com tutorials together. Then we’ll move to a needs-based approach where we’ll select tutorials specific to our interests and help each other troubleshoot our projects. Bring your lunch to munch while we learn!

When: *Select* Tuesdays from 12:00-2:00pm beginning May 12th (See the sign up form for specific dates)
Where: Wired! Lab (Smith Warehouse, Bay 11, 2nd Floor, A233)
