Adventurers: Spring-tastic Roblox and Game Design

Explore how games are designed and built in this Spring-themed camp. We’ll start off by making games you can play with your friends like your own version of Sonic or Mario. We’ll then look at Roblox Studio and make our own "obbies" (Roblox lingo for obstacle course).

Learning outcomes

Introduction to game design: Teach students the basics of the game design and development process, including storyboarding and level design.

Introduction to games programming: Introduce students to programming concepts, including variables, loops, and conditional statements, applied to game development. Students will work in Microsoft MakeCode and Roblox Studio through the week. 

Understanding of game engines: Students will learn how game engines are used in the game development industry. They will learn to use Roblox Studio as a natural stepping stone to industry-standard engines such as Unity.

Creative problem-solving and collaboration: Encourage students to use their creativity and problem-solving skills to design and develop their own games in Roblox and Microsoft MakeCode

Online Safety: Students will be able to identify how to use Roblox safely and things to look out for to ensure a safe online gaming experience.

 

Information for parents

Camp structure

This is a sample schedule for a typical day at camp. In between each lesson there will be a 15-minute snack break, or a 1-hour lunch and play break.
10.00 - 11.00
Lesson 1
First off we'll get to know our teacher and classmates through some great mini games. Once we're all friends, we'll be introduced to our activity for the day. Let's jump in to coding!
11.15 - 12.30
Lesson 2
Now that we've had a healthy snack, we're ready to get right back into our activity. We'll carry on flexing our creative muscles by designing, coding and building our project.
12.30 - 13.30
Lunchtime
After half an hour for lunch it's time for some offline, outdoor time. Students take part in activities ranging from inflatable obstacle course races to football tournaments, scavenger hunts to water games (fingers crossed for some sunny weather!).
13.30 - 14.45
Lesson 3
Let's refocus after lunch and playtime by diving into building our robots!
15.00 - 16.00
Lesson 4
It's time to finish off our project for the day and show it off to the rest of the class. Time has flown by - let's tidy up our work stations, pack up our things and get ready to go home!
My favourite part was making the texture packs
