Class Experience

Welcome to the Roblox Lua Computer Coding Challenge!

This course is intended for students with one month or more of experience in coding with Roblox Lua. It is a competitive and timed environment.

The course is designed for beginner coding students who want to take their coding skills to the next level. In this course, learners will work independently or in small groups to solve or fix Roblox Lua issues.

To participate in this class, students must have prior coding experience. This class does not teach coding; its purpose is to challenge students' ability to identify scripting errors and work as a team to fix them.

To enroll in this course, students must have Roblox Studio, which can be downloaded from www.roblox.com/create.

Each week, students will be given a coding puzzle or scenario to complete as a group. The code will require debugging or troubleshooting in order to work.

Week of July 21st - Debugging/Troubleshooting code
Week of July 28th - Debugging/Troubleshooting code
Week of August 7th - Debugging/Troubleshooting code
Week of August 14th - Debugging/Troubleshooting code

Debugging/Troubleshooting:

A code that has an error that must be fixed or corrected in order to run properly. For example, learners will be provided with a code that generates an error in the output. Their goal will be to fix the error so that the code works. The purpose is not for learners to write an entirely new code, but to challenge them to use Roblox Studio features like script analysis and output to solve the problem.
Class Structure:
Class rules and the description of the challenge for the week are provided at the beginning of class. Students are placed into smaller groups and breakout rooms. Learners are welcome to work independently as well. The groups are selected at random. Once the groups are created, the code or scenario is provided. Learners will have 30 minutes to solve the problem.

After 30 minutes have passed, learners will be brought back to the main room to discuss the solution together. Groups that successfully complete the challenge will be expected to share and explain their solution in detail. I will ask learners what each part of the code means and/or how they came up with the solution.

Learning Goals

Creativity and Innovation: the most wonderful part of coding is it there can be multiple solutions to the same issue. It encourages students to try out different solutions.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi!

My name is Miss Jennifer. 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 are both fun and educational, focusing on fundamental programming skills that have real-world applications. Even if your interest in Roblox or game design fades, the knowledge you gain will remain valuable and useful in any field you pursue.

I am also an event organizer, and I have run a few virtual gaming tournaments here on Outschool. If you have any ideas for other tournaments I should create in the future, let me know.

Roblox is not just something I teach. I LOVE Roblox! When I am not teaching, I am on Roblox just like you. I play ERLC, Pls Donate, Dandy's World, Grow a Garden, Berry Ave., Strongest Battlegrounds, Dress to Impress, and Elemental Grounds. Recently, I started playing Fisch and Pressure. 

I have taught over 3,500 students here on Outschool how to code and create their own games. I hope to see you in my classes soon!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About my teaching style:

Thorough and Patient
--I focus on building strong foundational skills in programming, ensuring students understand concepts deeply rather than rushing through material.
--I encourage students to take their time, explore, and ask questions, allowing them to learn at their own pace in a structured yet flexible environment.
--Hands-on examples and interactive lessons keep students engaged and active in the learning process.
---------------------------------------------
Encouraging Discovery and Independence
--My teaching approach prioritizes creativity and problem-solving over rote memorization or copying and pasting code.
--I guide students to build their own projects, reinforcing the idea that learning comes from doing, not just following steps.
--Students are responsible for typing their own code and troubleshooting their own errors, developing real problem-solving skills.
-----------------------------------------------
Real-World Skills Beyond Roblox
--While many students start with an interest in Roblox and Lua, I ensure they gain transferable programming skills applicable to other languages and platforms.
--My lessons introduce broader programming concepts that apply to software development, game design, and real-world coding challenges.
--I prepare students for a future beyond Roblox by teaching coding principles that will remain valuable as their interests evolve.
----------------------------------------------

My primary coding languages are Lua/Roblox Luau, C, python, java, and C#. I have over 8+ years of K-12 tutoring experience. I look forward to working with you soon!
