Diseño de juegos con Roblox (sesión de tutoría individual)

Beginner to Intermediate Roblox Tutoring-- This is beginner to Intermediate Roblox/Coding tutoring for students ages 9-13.  This class would be good for students that want to start learning how to make Roblox games, but don't have any experience using Roblox Studio or coding in Roblox.  This tutoring would also be good for students that have a little bit of experience, but would like to take the next step. 

Future-Ready Skills-- CreateDiscover classes integrate future-ready skills into the curriculum to help prepare students for a rapid-changing future.  This class includes exercises that help students improve their ability to persevere when trying difficult tasks.  Students are introduced to the concept of growth mindset and how to use it to learn and grow through challenges.
-------------------------------------
Students in this class learn how to use Roblox Studio to create games they can publish on the Roblox platform.  Students also learn how to use the Lua coding language to write scripts for their games.  Possible topics covered are listed below, but are dependent on student experience.  If a student is a complete beginner, I would start them at the beginning and work through the skills.  After the first session, students are welcome to sign up for additional sessions to continue learning.

Topics Covered Below Based on Student Experience and Number of Sessions

-Add basic Roblox parts to build objects and obstacles.
-Code parts and objects to change properties, move, and spin.
-Change humanoid properties like health, speed, and jump power.  
-Use loops, logic statements (if/then), and variables in their projects to create more interesting games.
-Program game events to trigger functions and actions in their games.
-Publish their games to Roblox for others to play.
-Create methods (functions) to add events and behaviors to their games.
--Join and shape simple parts to create more complex models.
--Create challenges and puzzles in their game using variables and logic.
--Use new game events to activate functions and actions.
--Code an action on one object to create a result in a different object.  Example: Press a button that opens a door.
--Design and create a tool for their player.
--Code a tool to perform an action in their game.
--Customize terrain to create a game map with different landforms.

Safety:  Parents can choose to have their child not publish their game on Roblox.  A game can be created in Roblox studio (a separate program) and not published.  Students can create and play their game without ever taking it online.

IMPORTANT
-- We do not use the toolbox in this class.  The toolbox consists of models and other items created and scripted by other players.  We stay away from the toolbox for two reasons.  One, students won't learn how to create and script their own items by using other players' creations.  Two, toolbox items can contain viruses that destroy your game.  Please discuss this with your child prior to class.
--Typing skills are important in this class.  Students do not have to be perfect at typing as the code editor helps with words, but they should be comfortable with typing words and finding keys on the keyboard.
