Comprehensive, Reliable Curriculum Tailored to All Learning Styles

I think it's a great curriculum because teachers need something that works, and we don't have time to troubleshoot software that doesn't function or constantly changes. This curriculum offers an all-around solution: it provides testing, projects, videos, and reading materials for students who may not prefer auditory or visual learning through videos. It covers all types of learners, and that's exactly what teachers need—a complete package ready to go.

Engaging, Easy-to-Follow Curriculum with Helpful Resources

We were finally able to get Unity on computers today and the kids got started. I absolutely love the curriculum. The video was well made and easy to follow. I printed out the slides from the fabulous PowerPoint file and the kids will appreciate using that as a reference. Love the vocab page. Love the assignment page. Completely in love with the cliffs notes and little GIFs depicting concepts. So impressive.

Students See Greater Success with Mastery Coding Compared to Direct Unity Lessons

My classes finished a full quarter using [Mastery Coding] curriculum and results were quite impressive. Students were far more successful using your curriculum than the directly using lessons from Unity. We are now moving into Unit 3 and on for last quarter and look forward to next year and second year of your curriculum.

Engage Students with Game Development from Day One, Fueling Motivation and Excitement

Students aren't just doing a lot of really basic things — they're making games right off the bat, and that's really helpful for them because it keeps them engaged and gets them excited about what they're doing... It keeps them engaged and keeps them motivated to get to that point where they can do what they want to do... We've only been at school for two, three months now, but they've already got something, a project that they've completed that they can show off, and they're super excited about that.
