Summer Camp - Roblox Game Design Using Lua

In this Summer Camp, code, design, and create your own interactive game in Roblox! Students will learn to design a cool “Heist” style obstacle course Roblox game to showcase to family & friends and learn Lua coding skills! 

Roblox is a game all about creativity and limitless design possibilities. In this camp, coding and creating objectives will be to design a game with a custom map such as a museum or an ancient tomb where there will be treasures to collect. Students will be challenged to put obstacles as well as other collectible items like a keycard to secure all the treasures, collect hidden treasures through obstacles, and escape to the end of the course before time runs out!

In this camp, we will be expanding on the idea of an “Obby”, or obstacle course. Students will be using some scripting to make a gem stealing Heist game!
