Learn the Basics of Roblox Studio (Flex)

**This class has NO LIVE MEETINGS**

The purpose of this course is to introduce the basic tools used in Roblox Studio. The method will be that learners will use these skills learnt to make their own platformer game often called an OBBY. Learners will be supported throughout this course with the main goal to give them freedom to be as creative as they can be. 

As a teacher I will explain the foundations so that they can apply these skills and tap into their creative minds. This is not a course for learners with experience in making their own games this is for learners that play Roblox but would like to make their own games and play with their friends. 

This is a Flex class format which allows learners to work independently with support of learning materials supplied by the teacher. While the lessons are recorded, it will be highly interactive i.e. resources will be interactive in the form of a PowerPoint, which will include notes and a short clip to explain the notes so learners can add meaning and understanding to the notes, and discussions about this will take place in the classroom. Learners will be expected to ask the teacher questions if they don't understand the notes or clips, after troubleshooting first with their peers or individual research.  Teacher will respond to questions send to  by email or in classroom on a daily basis to aid completion and understanding of course. Learners will be expected to show their work (ideally in class, but can be directly to me) by means of print screen, short clip or in writing. This will show time management and commitment which is a transferable skill that will be beneficial in later life.
