1.5-Hour Class. Designed for Boys & Girls Ages 8-14 Roblox is a creative game that encourages kids to make up their own mini-games fully customized with worlds, characters, and tools that make them unique. Learners are then allowed to share their games and play other creations thus helping them understand the creative process involved in video game design, Computer Science, and storytelling. 

Our unique approach with this program is to have kids learning how to CODE in a safe and controlled environment with other Roblox Fans and LIVE instructors who are experts in playing and coding mini-games. 

This specific class consists of having kids understand basic concepts of Computer Programming in LUA language and Sequential Thinking. The goal is to create a Barrel Roll game by coding the described objectives in the course video. After completion, kids will be able to play and publish their coded mini-game in their own Roblox accounts.
