Beginner Level
🎮 [CLASS EXPERIENCE] In this engaging, beginner-level coding course, students ages 9-12 will dive into the basics of game design by creating a mountain survival game in Roblox Studio. They’ll work step-by-step to develop a storyline involving a plane crash, a snowy wilderness, and a mythical Yeti, all while learning essential coding skills. Students will learn how to bring their game ideas to life, practicing basic scripting, problem-solving, and design principles as they build a thrilling escape adventure. This course combines hands-on learning with creative challenges, ideal for young coders eager to explore game design and storytelling. 🌟 🛠️ [WHAT WILL BE TAUGHT?] Students will learn to: Code game mechanics using basic Roblox scripting 🔧 Design and structure a survival adventure game 🎮 Understand core coding concepts like variables, loops, and conditionals 👾 Create interactive gameplay elements that enhance player experience 🎯 By the end of the course, students will have a fully designed game that they can play and share, and they’ll gain the skills to take on more coding projects with confidence. 💻 [HOW IS YOUR CLASS STRUCTURED?] The class is structured over four weekly lessons, with each session introducing a new concept and coding skill. We’ll begin with simple setup and scripting basics, then progressively add more complex game elements like item collection, obstacles, and an AI-driven Yeti character. Each session follows a structured approach: Brief Lesson – Introduction of a new coding or design concept. Guided Practice – Live coding demonstrations where students follow along. Independent Coding – Time for students to apply what they’ve learned to their game. Q&A and Review – Time for questions and troubleshooting as we review the day’s progress. This progression allows students to build their game piece-by-piece while reinforcing coding skills at each stage. 🎥 [HOW WILL YOU TEACH?] I will use a blend of: Live demonstrations to guide students through new coding concepts and techniques 💻 Step-by-step instructions to ensure each student can follow along 🛠️ Interactive discussions and Q&A sessions to help clarify concepts 💬 Visual aids, coding examples, and slides will reinforce learning, and we’ll use Roblox Studio’s in-game tools for hands-on practice. This real-time approach allows students to understand and apply their new skills immediately. 🔄 🎯 [WHAT’S YOUR TEACHING STYLE?] My teaching style is supportive and interactive, encouraging students to ask questions, experiment, and develop their ideas. I focus on clear, structured instructions, breaking down each coding concept into manageable steps to ensure that all students feel confident, no matter their experience level. I emphasize creativity and problem-solving, helping students find solutions and make their game unique. 📚 🤝 [HOW MUCH WILL LEARNERS GET TO INTERACT WITH YOU?] Learners will have multiple opportunities for interaction, including: Real-time coding support during live demonstrations and independent coding time 💬 Direct assistance and troubleshooting as students code in Roblox Studio 🛠️ Group discussions to explore game design ideas and progress 🤝 Q&A sessions at the end of each lesson to answer questions and encourage further exploration ✅ 🚀 [READY TO BUILD YOUR OWN SURVIVAL GAME?] This class is an exciting introduction to coding and game design, allowing students to create their own playable adventure. Join us for a fun and educational journey into the world of Roblox game development, where students will learn and apply real coding skills to build a unique survival game.
