Unity is one of the leading game engines for designing 2D & 3D interactive environments – the cornerstone of what many new virtual reality experiences are being built on.  Using this powerful piece of software, you will learn how to create your own immersive worlds, building environments and importing characters, as well as being taught the fundamentals of adding interactivity and exporting to different platforms so that others can try out your experience for themselves.

 

With the basics mastered, you will learn how to incorporate real-world references into your project and be encouraged to produce a piece of 3D journalism for your final assignment. 

 

Whether you have a keen interest in game design, have some done some basic coding or want to see what all the fuss over immersive storytelling is about – this is the class for you. You will leave with a solid understanding of 3D level design, the Unity interface and the ability to produce your own interactive video games.

 

Over four three hour sessions, Dan Archer and Pierre Depaz from VR/AR storytelling agency Empathetic Media will walk you through the core concepts and potential of this transformative technology. 


Course fee is $799. Space is limited, so don't delay. Are you eligible for a discount? 

What data story do you want to tell?


This bootcamp is project-based. Apply with a project idea and make it come true during the workshop under the guidance of seasoned data journalist Lam Thuy Vo.

 

What data story do you want to tell?

 

We live in a world with an abundance of data – from election results, budget reports, and census surveys, to Facebook updates and tweets from presidential candidates. Journalists and other communicators need to know how to find stories in data and shape them in compelling ways through maps, timelines, or graphics. Startup news organizations, legacy media and other brands are actively hiring data storytellers.


This intensive 2-day course will teach you how to find and analyze datasets, how to find stories buried within and to visualize them for powerful narratives.


You will cover the following topics and more:


Introduction to storytelling with data

 Useful data tools and data sources

 Data downloading, data cleaning and formatting

 Spreadsheets

 Data visualization theory

 Anatomy of a chart

 How to make a chart in Illustrator

 Maps, best practices

 Introduction to web languages


We will go from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm on Saturday and 11:30 am to 6 pm on Sunday.

 

Class fee is $599. Are you eligible for a discount?


You will need a Google Drive account (free) and Adobe Illustrator (available for free at the school).
