Who writes the stories? Who benefits from the stories? Who is missing from the stories? The world is a better place with a diverse range of creators, storytellers, interactive experience designers and programmers at the helm. When you bring real-time 3D development into your classroom, you have the opportunity to expand, develop and broaden the diversity of creators. This session focuses on strategies and resources to help you do that. 

Unity Educators Live is a new series of free professional development sessions facilitated by Unity Education and our educator community. This series is open to all education professionals at the secondary and post-secondary levels, including instructors, school administrators, program managers, and curriculum designers.
