“C# Scripting Fundamentals in Unity and XR Developer courses changed me from a language instructor with no computer programming knowledge to an XR educational and cultural program startup founder who is managing a team of XR developers and designers.”

Miji Lee

“Working in the Animation industry for 5 years, I was feeling stagnant with my skill sets. After taking the XR developer course, I was able to create and set up my own digital environments. With a 3D generalist level of knowledge, learning C# Scripting was a new field, but it was a fun challenge that made things work! Highly recommended to artists/designers who want to branch out :)”
