This module will introduce students to the metaverse world of Roblox, explore the concepts of game design, and provide a detailed tour of the Roblox Studio interface and tools used to create games for the Roblox platform.
Students will be able to build a Roblox obstacle course ("obby") game with checkpoints after completing this module. Parts and models will be used to create the obstacles with tools designed to select, move, scale, and rotate added to students' game design toolsets.
Using provided code scripts, students will be able to use the Lua programming language to make obstacles disappear, have a platform fade away to nothing, and make a pool of deadly lava. No prior coding experience is necessary for this module.
Utilizing the skills and tools from the previous modules, students will channel their creativity to customize their games and make them unique. Students will also learn about the different pathways in the game design industry, reflect on what they have learned in the course, and participate in a discussion of the future of the metaverse.

Yes. The course is built around Roblox Studio, so students need access to it. Check your device policy before adopting.
CodeHS lists it in the Middle School Pathway at 7th and 8th grade.
Completely different scale. This is a 20-hour month building one obby. AP Computer Science Principles in Roblox is a 175-hour year covering 100% of the AP CSP framework in Lua.
