AfterSchool Coding With Roblox Club (Grades 4-5)
Grades 4-5
Do you have a future game developer in the family? In this club, we sneak in the foundations of coding while they play and develop their own games in Roblox. Your child and a group of 6-9 peers meet with expert instructors for live and engaging online sessions. Clubs meet weekly and topics change monthly. Subscribe now and try 4 sessions for just $35.Each week Club members “work” in Roblox while making new friends, exploring game design, and learning the building blocks of coding from an expert instructor. To keep them learning faster than Moore's Law, each month features a new educational theme. Throughout the year, they'll go deep on concepts like: 3D Design, Collaborative Game Development, UX Design, and more.
Theme Of The Month:
-
December: Game Design — Students will explore the art and logic of designing video games as they build obstacle courses and experiment with coding cause-and-effect events into gameplay. Projects will include designing an obby and working with if/then statements.
-
January: Coding Video Games — Students will explore the coding concepts of strings and variables as they storyboard and code their own video games. Projects will include Code Your Own Story Game as students move beyond Roblox tools and into the coder’s toolkit.
-
February: Conditionals and Gameplay — Students will experiment with coding conditionals, including if/then statements and else/else-if statements, as they build games full of actions and corresponding reactions. Projects will include designing and coding the popular Adventure Game.
-
March: Loops, Functions and Advanced Gameplay — Students will build a deeper toolkit as they explore loops and functions and the power that these code principles give them to create evergreen game components like timers and point systems. Projects will include creating a timed bridge and point-giving parts
-
April: Arrays & Complex Game Components — Students will develop the ability to create detailed games of various tools and characters as they learn to use arrays to store sets of gameplay information. Projects will include creating talking characters and disappearing paths.
-
May: Game Design Challenge — Students will put their Roblox coding skills to the test as they dream up, design, and code their own game creations through the use of scripts, variables, conditionals, loops, functions, arrays, and Roblox Studio. Collaborating with classmates and their instructor, they’ll each build a game for the entire club to play.
