# Probability and Design Thinking: Make a Spinner! 

In the Make a Spinner Project, you'll learn how to make a spinner in Unity. This is a beginner's level project and perfect for anyone who has already downloaded Unity/Visual Studio you understand the basics of how to navigate the Unity interface.

This project was created by [Ottiya](http://www.ottiya.com)!

## For educators

Make a Spinner is a great entry-level project to get students to think about programming and development. This series was created with students in middle/high school in mind, but it could be used for younger and older students with modification on how the content is presented.  It is a simple project that introduces students to the basic functionality of Unity and core programming concepts, but could also be tied in with other Math concepts, such as coordinate systems, velocity, acceleration, and probability.
