Roblox and Minecraft provide a high level of engagement for students, while allowing instructors to delve deep into design philosophy, user experience and engagement/pathways, and even touch on scripting. These skills get students thinking critically about planning, designing, and seeing projects through to the end. Thinking deeply through how users, viewers, and others will experience your creations can prepare you for countless life-tasks, from telling a story, or presenting to a class. These game design skills go way beyond the software they start in, delivering benefits to many areas of life.
