Learning Needs
This class is designed to be inclusive and supportive of students with unique learning needs, including ADHD and autism. As an experienced instructor, I use clear, structured instructions, break tasks into manageable steps
Parental Guidance
Roblox Studio is a powerful, creative tool that allows students to learn game design, coding, and collaboration skills while building their own unique experiences in a safe, moderated environment. Students need a Roblox account to access Roblox Studio, but we will only be using Roblox Studio in this class, focusing on game creation rather than playing games created by others. Creating a Roblox account is free, and as a parent, you can monitor your child's account settings, including privacy and security options, ensuring a safe and engaging learning experience.
