You’ll implement challenges like a fire spawning platform with built-in scripts created in Lua, the official coding language of Roblox. When you launch your first game for everyone to play and share online, you’ll take on the title of a Roblox developer!

Tools: Roblox, Roblox Studio

Topics Covered

  • Create and publish games to the Roblox website
  • Discover level design fundamentals

Course Format

This course is part of a weeklong virtual summer camp running Monday through Friday. Your child will learn online with a small group of other students, in sessions led by expert instructors. Each day includes two hours of live instruction and peer collaboration plus two hours of self-paced project development. Learn more below. 


Sample Schedule

Here’s a sample of what a week in this course could look like. Keep in mind students will progress at varying paces, and this is meant to serve as an outline of key materials and the overall experience. 

Students will modify game terrain to create mountains, valleys, and rivers. Then, they’ll set up basic platforms for their obby, following level design principles.

Next, students add a built-in checkpoint system that saves player progress. Players who travel out of the game boundaries will respawn on the map!

Using the Toolbox, students will get creative and find unique elements to add to their game such as skyscrapers and cars. Then, they’ll create collectible items and unique obby challenges like fire spawning platforms!

In their games, students will learn how to create and monetize their own developer products, like a donation box where satisfied players can tip Robux after they’ve completed the game.

To complete the week, students will wrap up the design of their obby game, playtest it with their peers, and publish it to the official Roblox website, where everyone can join in on the fun!

Portfolio-Boosting Transcript

At the conclusion of your child's course, they will receive an official iD Tech transcript outlining the skills they learned over the course of the week.
