Class Experience

Beginner Level
Hey everyone! Welcome to Roblox Coding Basics Camp.
This class focuses exclusively on coding and computer programming fundamentals in Roblox Studio. 

Students must have experience making their own Roblox games BEFORE taking this class. This class requires Roblox Studio experience. 

**** I offer over 30 different Roblox Studio classes. The class you take first depends on your experience level with Roblox Studio (if any) and the things you want to learn and do. If you are unsure which Roblox Studio class to take or where to start, feel welcome to send me a message BEFORE enrolling****

It is NOT common for students to take this class first. Typically, students will take a class that teaches how to use Roblox Studio BEFORE taking a coding class. After learning how to use Roblox Studio, student take a class like this as their first coding class. 

This class teaches the basics of the Roblox Lua computer programming language.

Roblox games are not played in this class. This is a coding/scripting class. 

The coding done in this class is very BASIC in nature and is designed to introduce students to coding in Roblox Studio. The majority of students that take this class have 0-8 weeks of coding experience. 

Roblox Studio Experience ---------------
Experience using Roblox Studio is REQUIRED for this class. This is a beginner CODING class for students with Roblox Studio experience. This class assumes students have experience making basic Roblox games and want to learn how to code. 

Reminder: ***If you are unsure which Roblox Studio class to take or where to start, ask me first. Feel welcome to send me a message BEFORE enrolling****

Typing/Keyboarding Experience ----------------
This class requires typing/keyboarding skills
The coding format/style used in this class requires typing and keyboarding skills. It's important to emphasize that this class does NOT use block programming, as seen in Scratch Programming. There are no little blocks to drag across the screen to make the code work. The code in this class is typed by the student. Code is not copied and pasted. Students must be comfortable using a computer keyboard. This includes but is not limited to identifying letters, numbers, and punctuation. 
-------------------------------------------------------------------

I strongly recommend using two devices for the class so that your child can view both my screen and their own screen. Having a computer mouse for Roblox Studio is strongly encouraged.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Age exceptions for this course are made on a case by case basis. Feel welcome to send me a message if your child meets the prerequisites but is slightly outside of the age range and would like to take the course. 

I approve transfer requests as long as the transfer is to another session within 30 days.

Parental Guidance
Parental Guidance is advised for students under 13 when accessing the internet and when downloading and installing programs such as Roblox Studio. Roblox Studio is a free program that should only be downloaded from the official Roblox site. www.roblox.com/create. Roblox Studio requires a Roblox account. It is strongly encouraged that parents add their own email address to the Roblox Account in case the student gets locked out of their Roblox account. If a student gets locked out of their Roblox Account, that means they will be locked out of Roblox Studio too. Roblox Studio requires an internet connection (Roblox Studio cannot be used offline/without internet). Roblox Studio requires that a student be in good standing with Roblox. Students that are suspended/banned from Roblox will also be suspended/banned from Roblox Studio too. Any kind of account issues must be directed to Roblox support.
Pre-Requisites
Students must have experience using a Windows or Mac computer. Students must have experience using a computer keyboard and mouse. This class requires experience using roblox studio.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi!

My name is Miss Jennifer, and I teach classes about Roblox/Roblox Studio, Cubzh, Visual Studio Code, and Blender. 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 focus on learning computer programming fundamentals. These are essential skills that students will take with them into adulthood and are valuable in any field of study.

I am also a Roblox event organizer, and I have run a few virtual gaming tournaments here on Outschool: Roblox Bedwars, Bladeball, and Doors. The Doors tournament was pretty funny because I had multiple students get to door 100, so it was a tie. If you have any ideas for other tournaments I should create in the future, let me know.

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., Strongest Battlegrounds, and Bedwars. I get this question often about Sol's rng. Yes. I do play Sol's RNG, but I am really bad at it, so... yeah... haha. Yes, it is possible to be bad at that game. I am Zukojen on Roblox. I am also Zukojen on Cubzh. Cubzh is an up and coming 3D gaming platform that also uses Lua programming.

I offer a lot of classes. If you are not sure what class to take first/next, ask me. Please feel welcome to send me a message BEFORE enrolling. Some classes are for students that have never used Roblox Studio. Some classes are for students that have no coding experience. Some classes are for students that have some coding experience but are still beginners. Please tell me your current experience level (if any) and what you want to learn, and I can tell you where to start. 

If you don't see a day/time that works for your schedule, please send me a schedule request. 

Don't see a class that you like? Tell me! I am always looking for new class ideas and always updating my material.

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!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

More about me and my teaching style:

My teaching style is all about being thorough and patient. It really doesn't matter to me what kind of game the student wants to make; every game has the same basic components, and every coding language shares the same basic components. My goal is to give students the fundamental skills they need to create whatever they want. I allow the kids to lead based on their interests and explore. I provide hands-on examples and enable students to learn at their own pace in a prepared environment. Learning should never be a passive process. Students should present, aware, and engaged.

It may take longer or require more effort, but it is worth it every single time. The things that students can learn to do for themselves and others are far more meaningful than what someone else can do for them. So yes, students in my classes are responsible for typing their own code and building their own stuff. Does it take longer? YUP. Is it more challenging? YUP. Copying and pasting stuff and blindly following a bunch of tutorials is not helpful. There is value in learning how to make things on your own.

I am often told by my younger students that I treat them just like I treat the big kids. I treat all my students like developers, because they are developers. The only difference between my students and me is that I have more experience doing it. We all have to start somewhere. Never too early to learn these lifelong skills. Why do I treat all my students like developers, even the ones with no experience? That is because in the tech world, we call those junior developers! Haha!

I was born and raised in Westchester County, New York. I now live in Nevada (Pacific Standard Time Zone). I have always enjoyed technology. When I was a kid, I would take electronics apart and often would break them in the process, which my parents were not too happy about haha. "The machine is for homework ONLY!"  Apparently the family computer could not run without a CPU. Who knew? HAHA.

As a kid, I would read my aunt's medical books and write what I found in C programming. 
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    char funnyBoneDefinition[] = "The ulnar nerve runs near the surface of the elbow, and when hit, it can cause a tingling sensation in the forearm and fingers, often referred to as hitting the 'funny bone.'";

    // Print the definition using the variable
    printf("Funny Bone: %s\n", funnyBoneDefinition);

    return 0;
}

If there is anyone out there that wants to learn C, let me know! Let's keep C alive! Many industries like the aerospace, financial, automotive, and medical industry still use C for essential stuff to function. We need more people to learn the language. I would love to teach it.

It should be no surprise then to know that before Outschool, I worked as a software developer for a hospital system. My primary coding languages are Lua/Roblox Lua, C++, C, python, java, and C#. After work, I would help students in my local area with their math and coding homework. Now I get to teach students all over the world in a virtual classroom here on Outschool. It's so much fun!
