1 live meeting
1 in-class hours per weekHomework
1 hour per week. After each session, your student will always have "Challenges" that they will be tasked with completing. If a "Challenge" is not completed, we will work on understanding and completing the "Challenge" at the beginning of the next session. Challenges can be in the following forms: -Worksheets -Modifying a programming snippet -Writing a programming snippet to complete a certain objectiveClass Experience

Beginner Level
o The Roblox Studio Ambition Training A! (for beginners) group class, is a beginner Roblox Studio class that goes through the following programming concepts in the Lua programming language: • Variables in Lua • Functions in Lua • Events in Lua • Objects in Lua • Lists in Lua • For loops in Lua • While loops in Lua • Conditional statements and Boolean expressions • Basic physics concepts (velocity vs speed, forces) o For this group class, we will also talk about these general concepts: • Parent-Child-Hierarchy in Roblox Studio • Some handy plugins for Roblox Studio development • How to use the “Tool Box” menu of Roblox Studio effectively • How to create and use 3D animations in your code • How to create basic GUI’s (Graphic User Interfaces) o Students in the beginner group class will not learn the above concepts in isolation. In the group classes, each session we will work on and complete a new “Mini Project” where students will get to program super interesting game features that they have seen in their favorite Roblox Games. Some example mini projects: • Creating a maze with constantly changing walls • Creating an armory to allow players to equip different swords • Creating a creature spawner that creates different creatures every few seconds • Creating a mini game where players have to climb to the top of the hill while avoiding large boulders • Creating a mini game where players have to climb to the top of a spiraling, vanishing staircase • Creating a wand that allows players to teleport to any location with the click of a mouse • Creating a wand that allows players to change the time of day • And more!
Learning Goals
Students will learn the fundamentals of Lua programming and the Roblox Studio game engine to one day be able to create engaging experiences on the Roblox platform.

External Resources
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Science from University of South Florida
Senior computer science major at the University of Florida
Senior Code Coach at a coding school (2 Years)
• Prepared Roblox Studio / Godot / Unity (C#) / Unreal Engine) lesson plans for over 70+ students from 7 to 18 to teach kids programming via personalized projects.
• Taught 3D mathematics concepts (vector spaces, spherical trigonometry etc...).
• Taught and retained over 20% of the client base in 2021 (150+ students total by the end of the year).
• Prepared training material on several technologies (Unity / Godot / Roblox Studio) to train 10+ coaches.
• Mentored 10+ coaches on company culture and best practices that promote an environment of fun and
learning for our students.
In addition to the 2 years detailed above, I have spent an additional 2 years tutoring students in specifically Roblox Studio and college course work (such as Data Structures and Algorithms). This class will not shy away from advanced programming concepts or mathematics concepts (such as trigonometry).
