Description

(Prerequisites - Completion of Scratch Ninja Part 3, ideally Part 4, or equivalent advanced Scratch coding experiences)

Unit 1: In this first part we introduce the basics of Roblox coding through building fun games! Most students have not interacted with complex coding environments such as Roblox Studio before, so we will ensure they are setup for success by teaching foundational skills. This includes how to use workspace and how to configure properties of objects such as color and texture to implement in games. We will start learning important coding concepts such as if/then, loop, and variable in the context of Roblox coding, as well as how to have game elements respond to interactions from players such as clicks, movements, and more!

Unit 2: The fun and learning continues in part 2 of this Roblox game development class. Activities to take place in this part include finishing the dodgeball game started in part 1, learning how to use clones to easily create many game objects, and learning how to create a multiplayer game! Students are welcome to invite their friends to play the multiplayer games together, and there will be a leaderboard for added motivation. This part will also dive deeper into Roblox coding concepts to become more familiar with the nuances of Roblox coding while reinforcing skills learned in part 1.

Unit 3: In the final part for this class we will focus on building two multi-faceted games that combine previous Roblox coding skills learned with new concepts like messaging. One of the games is modeled after the highly popular infinity run game where players must turn, dodge, and jump to avoid obstacles and gain points. Students will also learn how to create quiz games about any topic they're interested in to showcase their knowledge on what they're passionate about. We look forward to seeing your child's creativity shine as they learn how to code Roblox games!

Requirements: Students must have a laptop or desktop device with Zoom and Chrome browser, as well as high internet connectivity. Windows or Mac Computer (Chromebook not supported), and a mechanical mouse.
