Learn Playground | Beginner Project

Unity Playground is a beginner-friendly framework designed to help educators and new users learn Unity by creating 2D physics-based games without writing code.

Combine simple, single-action Components to build gameplay, with streamlined Inspectors that make Unity easier to explore and understand.

For Educators:

Playground is designed to work particularly well in classrooms and workshops. In preparation to use Playground, it would be great if students had a basic understanding of the Unity Editor, GameObjects, Components, the Scene view, and Play Mode before getting started.

Additional educator resources, lesson plans, and curriculum materials are available through Unity Learn.
