What's included
8 live meetings
6 in-class hoursAssignments
1-2 hours per week. The outside coursework for this class will consist of practical coding exercises and small projects designed to reinforce object-oriented programming (OOP) principles. Students will complete assignments that involve creating and manipulating classes, objects, and methods, as well as applying inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism to solve specific coding challenges. These tasks are intended to deepen their understanding of OOP concepts and enhance their ability to apply these techniques effectively in Roblox game development. The coursework will typically take 30-45 minutes per week and will be essential for mastering the material covered in class.Progress Report
The progress reports for this class will provide an overview of each student's performance and development in understanding object-oriented programming (OOP) principles. Reports will include feedback on coding assignments and projects, highlighting strengths and areas for improvement. They will also track participation in class activities and the completion of outside coursework. Additionally, progress reports may offer insights into how well students are applying OOP concepts in their Roblox projects and provide recommendations for further practice or support. These reports aim to help students stay on track and enhance their learning experience throughout the course.Class Experience
Beginner Level
Prerequisites: Prior Coding/Scripting Experience Students should have at least one month of coding experience in any language before enrolling. Prior experience with Roblox scripting is highly recommended, as it will help students grasp the material more easily. Most students in this course have been coding for over six months, so this is not suitable as a first coding class. The more experience, the better! Roblox Studio Experience: Students must have experience making Roblox games before taking this class. Basic Math Knowledge: A basic understanding of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division is essential for problem-solving and understanding programming concepts. Course Description: This class is all about object-oriented programming (OOP) in Roblox. Students will dive deep into OOP principles, focusing on creating classes, objects, and inheritance—essential tools for developing efficient, organized game code. Through live lessons and hands-on coding exercises, students will apply these concepts directly in Roblox Studio. Outside Coursework: To reinforce class material, students are required to complete 30-45 minutes of outside coursework each week. These assignments are crucial to understanding OOP concepts and applying them successfully. Information will be posted in the class platform for students to review and complete independently. Students are responsible for typing their own code, and the toolbox will not be used in this class. Reminder: This is a live group class, and it needs at least two students to run. If the minimum enrollment is not met, transfer or refund options will be provided.
Learning Goals

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi!
My name is Miss Jennifer and I teach classes about Roblox/Roblox Studio and Blender.
I am also a Roblox Event Organizer and I enjoy teaching others about coding and video game design. I love video games and it is a joy to be able to teach what I love to do.
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., The Strongest Battlegrounds, and Bedwars. I am Zukojen on Roblox.
Before Outschool, I worked as a software developer for a hospital system. My primary coding languages are Lua/Roblox Lua, C++, Java, and C#.
I was born and raised in Westchester County, New York. I now live in Nevada (Pacific Standard Time Zone).
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!Reviews
