Learn to code – the fun way – with Roblox. In this course, kids will get to use their favourite gaming platform to learn coding and make games. Kids will learn the programming language Lua which is widely used in the real world by game developers due to its gentle learning curve and speed of execution.

All you need to know
Does your child love Roblox? If so, look no further as we use Roblox to teach kids simple programming concepts the fun way. Kids will learn the fundamental building blocks of Roblox Studio to create their own obstacle course (obby).
We will start by introducing Roblox Studio, describing how to add parts and change their material, orientation and color.
We will then start moving onto more advanced concepts such as functions, loops and conditional statements.
Finally, kids will make their own obstacle course and will code the lava blocks to make the game more challenging.
Oh! The stuff you'll learn
Understand the different components of Roblox Studio and how to navigate through them.
Learn the basics of coding – variables, conditionals, loops, functions and more – using the programming language Lua.
Learn to create scripts and interact with parts and humanoids
Turn into a creator by creating a Obby on your own and interact with it through code.

Pedagogy
No lectures. No memorisation. No ONE right answer. Like real life, we're all about trying things out yourself, failing, figuring what went wrong & trying again. These are the skills & mindset that will last a lifetime and how we learn in real life. Let's get kids to learn how to learn. Because the kids who learn to learn become curious, inventive, resourceful human beings who solve real world problems to make a meaningful impact.
