Class Experience

Beginner Level
Hi everyone! Welcome to Roblox Studio for Beginners: Weekly Class. New students are welcome ANYTIME. 

This is a live class for students that want to get weekly practice using Roblox Studio. Roblox Studio is the program used to create Roblox games and only works on a Windows or Mac computer.

This is typically the Roblox Studio class that students take FIRST. A student that has little or no experience making their own roblox games should start with this class. 

We do not play Roblox games in this class. We MAKE Roblox games in this class. This is a video game design class.

This class is ideal for students that:
-- Are new to Roblox Studio
-- Just like to build stuff in their game
-----------------------------------------------------------
Here are the topics covered each week in this course. The content doesn't change from week to week. The content does not build. The whole point of this class is for students to get weekly practice using the basic tools in Roblox Studio. We practice the same topics each week:

-- Basic navigation
-- Using the main building tools on the home tab
-- Building Techniques 
-- Learning about Explorer and Properties

Please download, install, and log in to Roblox Studio before your first class. 
-------------------------------------------
I strongly recommend using two devices for class. One device, for Roblox Studio. Another screen/device for Outschool/Zoom.
------------------------------
This class does not encourage use of the toolbox, a feature in Roblox Studio that contains premade objects that may not be appropriate for the classroom environment and/or may be unsafe.

Learning Goals

The learning goals in this course are learner directed but the overall goal is students to learn how to use Roblox Studio to design their own Roblox games.

Other Details

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. 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.

A computer mouse is strongly encouraged but not required. Roblox Studio is very difficult to use without a computer mouse. Roblox Studio is not designed to be used with touchscreen. You need a computer keyboard. 

A Roblox account is needed to use Roblox Studio. If your child plays Roblox games, it means your child has an account associated with Roblox. The same account info is used to log into Roblox Studio.

Teacher expertise and credentials
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 a Roblox event organizer, and I have run a few virtual gaming tournaments here on Outschool. Roblox Bedwars, Bladeball, and Doors. 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;
}

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 Luau, C++, C, python, java, and C#. After work, I would tutor students in my local area with their math and coding homework. I have over 8+ years of K-12 tutoring experience. Now I get to teach students all over the world in a virtual classroom here on Outschool. It's so much fun!
