Class Experience
Welcome to Class Mini: Roblox Coding! This class is a sample class intended to demonstrate how to use Outschool.com while getting to know my teaching style. It is not a full offering. Prerequisites: Experience using a Windows or Mac computer (Roblox Studio only works on Windows or Mac computers). Typing/Keyboarding experience is required. Since this is a sample class, the code covered will be basic in nature, with a length of approximately 5 lines, including comments. Optional but STRONGLY recommended: Roblox Studio Experience Experience using Roblox Studio is strongly recommended for the most out of this sample class. Roblox Studio is the program used to create Roblox games. It is STRONGLY encouraged that students practice with Roblox Studio BEFORE class. Examples of practice could include building an obby, a house, or a castle. These activities don't require coding but help familiarize students with the software. Practice moving objects, clicking on items, and opening and closing components within Roblox Studio. Having this background knowledge before taking a coding class makes it much easier to learn to code. Even a few minutes of practice can make a dramatic difference. Students who take the coding class without this background knowledge will spend time in class learning these basics, which means less time to learn about coding. Class Structure: I will be sharing my screen to demonstrate how to use the coding tools in Roblox Studio. I encourage students to use two devices for the class to simultaneously watch my screen and their own. The class begins with introductions. I will first confirm if a student has used Roblox Studio before, as this will greatly impact the initial lesson. If a student has not used Roblox Studio before, I will review some of the basic tools for the first few minutes of class. I strongly recommend that students practice using Roblox Studio before class to enable us to dive right into coding. Having experience using Roblox Studio before taking this class is a significant advantage. Next, we set up the screen for coding, including using Output to debug code. Afterward, we write code. Again, it's important to remember that this class is a sample class intended to demonstrate how to use Outschool.com while getting to know my teaching style. It is not a full offering. The code covered will be basic in nature and is not intended to encompass all there is to know about the Roblox Lua coding language. The code will include a variable and a function to introduce students to common computer programming terms. Following the coding exercise, we discuss how the code works. The depth of our discussion will depend on various factors, including the student's age, the amount of time allotted, and the student's perceived comfort level with the material.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Parental Guidance is advised for students under 13 when accessing the internet and when downloading and installing programs such as Roblox Studio. Roblox Studio is a free program that should only be downloaded from the official Roblox site. www.roblox.com/create. Roblox Studio requires a Roblox account.
It is strongly encouraged that parents add their own email address to the Roblox Account in case the student gets locked out of their Roblox account. If a student gets locked out of their Roblox Account, that means they will be locked out of Roblox Studio too.
Roblox Studio requires an internet connection (Roblox Studio cannot be used offline/without internet).
Roblox Studio requires that a student be in good standing with Roblox. Students that are suspended/banned from Roblox will also be suspended/banned from Roblox Studio too. Any kind of account issues must be directed to Roblox support.
Roblox Studio's toolbox contains premade items that can added into the game environment. This can cause real world safety concerns. A toolbox "safety" video is provided upon enrollment. By enrolling in this course, you acknowledge it's extremely important to watch the toolbox safety video to prevent safety/security risks for your child and/or computer.
This class does NOT use the toolbox. It contains unsafe content, such as computer viruses and scams. There are items in the toolbox that are simply not appropriate for the classroom environment. Adding certain items from the toolbox may get you suspended or banned from roblox. For those reasons, we do NOT use the toolbox. Students that choose to use the toolbox anyway, do so at their own risk. Please reach out to Roblox support directly if you encounter issues with items from the toolbox and/or issues with your roblox account. I am unable to assist, fix, or answer questions about anything from the toolbox or about the status of your roblox account.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi!
My name is Miss Jennifer, and I teach classes about Roblox/Roblox Studio, Cubzh, Visual Studio Code, and Blender. I enjoy teaching coding and video game design. It is a joy to be able to teach what I love to do.
My coding classes focus on learning computer programming fundamentals. These are essential skills that students will take with them into adulthood and are valuable in any field of study.
I am also a Roblox event organizer, and I have run a few virtual gaming tournaments here on Outschool: Roblox Bedwars, Bladeball, and Doors. The Doors tournament was pretty funny because I had multiple students get to door 100, so it was a tie. If you have any ideas for other tournaments I should create in the future, let me know.
I don't just teach Roblox stuff; I am a huge fan. When I am not teaching, I am on Roblox just like you. I play ERLC, Pls Donate, Pet Sim 99, Bladeball, Berry Ave., Strongest Battlegrounds, and Bedwars. I get this question often about Sol's rng. Yes. I do play Sol's RNG, but I am really bad at it, so... yeah... haha. Yes, it is possible to be bad at that game. I am Zukojen on Roblox. I am also Zukojen on Cubzh. Cubzh is an up and coming 3D gaming platform that also uses Lua programming.
I offer a lot of classes. If you are not sure what class to take first/next, ask me. Please feel welcome to send me a message BEFORE enrolling. Some classes are for students that have never used Roblox Studio. Some classes are for students that have no coding experience. Some classes are for students that have some coding experience but are still beginners. Please tell me your current experience level (if any) and what you want to learn, and I can tell you where to start.
If you don't see a day/time that works for your schedule, please send me a schedule request.
Don't see a class that you like? Tell me! I am always looking for new class ideas and always updating my material.
I have taught over 3,000 students here on Outschool how to code and create their own games. I hope to see you in my classes soon!

More about me and my teaching style:
My teaching style is all about being thorough and patient. It really doesn't matter to me what kind of game the student wants to make; every game has the same basic components, and every coding language shares the same basic components. My goal is to give students the fundamental skills they need to create whatever they want. I allow the kids to lead based on their interests and explore. I provide hands-on examples and enable students to learn at their own pace in a prepared environment. Learning should never be a passive process. Students should present, aware, and engaged.
It may take longer or require more effort, but it is worth it every single time. The things that students can learn to do for themselves and others are far more meaningful than what someone else can do for them. So yes, students in my classes are responsible for typing their own code and building their own stuff. Does it take longer? YUP. Is it more challenging? YUP. Copying and pasting stuff and blindly following a bunch of tutorials is not helpful. There is value in learning how to make things on your own.
I am often told by my younger students that I treat them just like I treat the big kids. I treat all my students like developers, because they are developers. The only difference between my students and me is that I have more experience doing it. We all have to start somewhere. Never too early to learn these lifelong skills. Why do I treat all my students like developers, even the ones with no experience? That is because in the tech world, we call those junior developers! Haha!
I was born and raised in Westchester County, New York. I now live in Nevada (Pacific Standard Time Zone). I have always enjoyed technology. When I was a kid, I would take electronics apart and often would break them in the process, which my parents were not too happy about haha. "The machine is for homework ONLY!" Apparently the family computer could not run without a CPU. Who knew? HAHA.
As a kid, I would read my aunt's medical books and write what I found in C programming.
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
char funnyBoneDefinition[] = "The ulnar nerve runs near the surface of the elbow, and when hit, it can cause a tingling sensation in the forearm and fingers, often referred to as hitting the 'funny bone.'";
// Print the definition using the variable
printf("Funny Bone: %s\n", funnyBoneDefinition);
return 0;
}
If there is anyone out there that wants to learn C, let me know! Let's keep C alive! Many industries like the aerospace, financial, automotive, and medical industry still use C for essential stuff to function. We need more people to learn the language. I would love to teach it.
It should be no surprise then to know that before Outschool, I worked as a software developer for a hospital system. My primary coding languages are Lua/Roblox Lua, C++, C, python, java, and C#. After work, I would help students in my local area with their math and coding homework. Now I get to teach students all over the world in a virtual classroom here on Outschool. It's so much fun!
