Roblox Coding Basics Camp (Level 2)

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, Bladeball, 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.

About me:
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;
}

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!
