Beginner Roblox Game Coding Units 1-3
Instructors: Create & Learn
With this coding class, your child will be able to create their own games for Roblox in no time. The coding approach is similar to Scratch, but is tailored specifically for developing Roblox games. It is a lot more effective for younger students compared to using Lua. Your child will learn and practice advanced coding skills, apply their imaginations, and create!
Prerequisite - Completion of Scratch Ninja Part 3, ideally Part 4, or equivalent advanced Scratch coding experiences.
Students must have a laptop or desktop device with Zoom, a Chrome browser, and high internet connectivity.
We start by introducing kids to the very basic concept of staking commands together to make the computers accomplish tasks - fundamentals of coding. We will then move on to learn core coding concepts such as loop, operations, conditional, events, function, variables and more. As students become increasingly proficient in these coding skills, they will progress to constructing more intricate structures and even coding mini games.
You will need a Windows or Mac Computer to take this class. Chromebook is very slow for running Minecraft. iPad is not supported. Code Age Day Dates Time
