No formal assessments will be made by me, however, I'll be teaching how to publish games to my students and encouraging them to share their game's links with the other students.Class Experience
What will be Taught? Fundamentals of games – The mechanics that makes a game a game. Types of Games Level Design Play Testing Debugging Scripting What topics will you cover? Obbys Navigation Placing, Removing, Renaming, and duplicating blocks Functions, Loops and Conditions Day/night cycles, Materials, Colours, Jump boosts, Kill blocks, moving platforms, checkpoints and Hinges How is your class Structured? Students will receive an itinerary of what projects will be getting worked on, and instructions on how to do it. First Classes begin with introductions Topics will get introduced followed by an example being worked out infront of the students Questions get answered along the way. Students will have a playable obby after 5 weeks. How Will you Teach? Referring to the itinerary and showing the starting techniques, middle techniques and ending techniques to each style of game being made. Teaching is done through google meets. Teach Style Friendly and always open for questions. I call out each student by name, so students My style is very inclusive. I encourage every student to speak, ask questions and nobody gets muted. If students are talking too much, they will be politely asked to stop so the other students can get a chance to speak. I also build a project along side the students to better display the examples I was referring to. How much will the learners interact with each other As much as they like. Students are encouraged to try each other’s games and to ask each other questions on how they put it all together. Between classes, students are encouraged to get together and share what they like about Minecraft and their games. Students share the progress of their published games at the end of class Any required Experience or knowledge? Beginner users are welcome, although a background in programming in Scratch or other languages is encouraged because learning the Lua programming language can be very intimidating.
Learning Goals
Students will be learning how to go from 0 to comfortable with Roblox Studio. They'll be able to know become so independent with the program, they will not become easily discouraged when part not do initially show up on their screen, or how to find helpful windows they closed by accident.

Teacher expertise and credentials
After graduating University, I worked overseas in China for a year as an ESL teacher. Upon returning, I moved into the Banking Industry and worked for almost a decade. I decided that that industry no longer appealed to me, so I transitioned fully into the video game industry. I have since taught classes in Scratch, Minecraft and Roblox and assisted over 100 students through my current employer. Joining Outschool is my attempt at doing something I enjoy, while working more independently.
My goal here is to teach your young minds what I have learned, so if you too decide to enter the multi-billion-dollar industry of video games, you will be better prepared. Any homework that I give out is designed to a challenge, more than a requirement. There is no right or wrong, only the attempt and effort are appreciated. I’m always available for questions and I try to give a response within 12 hours of seeing the message.
I’ll be honest with you; programming is difficult and intimidating regardless of if you see it for the first time or your one-hundredth time. It is a challenge that gives you never-ending puzzles as you try to build on what you have.
I am of the mindset that if somebody orders a dozen of something, I give them thirteen. If they do not like what I am able to provide, I will always give a refund for the last class taught.
When I’m not building games, I love competing at e-sports. I’ve travelled to compete at Dreamhack and numerous other local tournaments. I captained my school’s collegiate Hearthstone and Overwatch teams and I’m currently training several players to become competitive at Street Fighter 5. If e-sports is your thing, and demand it high enough, I’ll see if I develop a few classes on it in the future.Reviews
