2. Course Instructors
Mark Suter
Mark is a computer science, game design, and entrepreneurship teacher with 14 years of experience in the classroom and represents Unity as a teacher ambassador. Mark’s classroom is a hybrid of a mad scientist’s laboratory and a traveling circus. Mistakes are encouraged, iteration is frequent, and expectations are high. Mark is always a student and sometimes a teacher.
Debbie Boscombe
Debbie is a programming and web development instructor and represents Unity as an educator ambassador. She worked for over 10 years as a software developer before switching to teaching and still does not know what she wants to be when she grows up. Students in Debbie’s classroom learn object-oriented programming skills, 3D modeling, 3D and VR app development, and anything else they can dream up together!
