This class is a deep dive into Lua scripting, the coding language used to bring Roblox games to life. Over multiple sessions, students will learn how to write, test, and debug real code that powers everything from animations to scoring systems.

What will be taught?
- Lua coding fundamentals
- Creating scripts in Roblox Studio
- Interactive game mechanics like triggers, power-ups, and buttons
- Best practices for writing clean, error-free code

Topics Covered:
- Variables, functions, and events
- Scripting with parts and models
- Loops, conditionals, and timers
- Debugging and organizing scripts

Class Structure:
Each class focuses on a hands-on scripting challenge. I will demonstrate code live via screen sharing, and students will follow along, then customize scripts to make their own unique features.

Teaching Style:
This is a project-based, interactive class. I use slides for key concepts, live walkthroughs for coding demos, and plenty of pauses for Q&A. Students will test their scripts in real time and share their progress.

Interaction:
Students will interact by asking questions, solving coding challenges, and getting direct feedback on their scripts. Optional sharing of screens or code snippets is encouraged.

Tech Requirements:
- Roblox Studio installed and working
- A Roblox account
- A mouse and keyboard setup
- Strong internet connection
