Create 3D games with Roblox Studio
and learn Lua coding

Skills developed in this course

Design thinking: Before opening Roblox Studio, learners consider what kind of game they want to make, what the player must do, how to win or finish a level, and what makes the experience enjoyable. Teachers help divide a large idea into manageable parts, such as a start area, scoring points, obstacles and an ending. Students begin with a practical plan and add detail as their time and skills allow.

Creating 3D worlds: Learners place, move, rotate and resize objects in Roblox Studio to create spaces with clear routes. Scene design also shapes the player’s experience. Students consider where a character can go, when missions appear and where a hint might help, then playtest to see whether the layout makes sense.

Programming: To make games respond to players, learners read and modify Lua/Luau code in Roblox Studio. They connect block coding concepts with text-based instructions, including sequences, conditions, variables and events. Teachers help identify which instructions produce each result. When a game behaves unexpectedly, students practise checking one part at a time and testing changes logically.

Testing and communication: A classroom project needs playtesting. Learners consider whether a level is too easy or difficult, where a player gets stuck and whether instructions are clear. They improve the project and explain their ideas, planning and problem-solving to classmates or parents, recognising the work behind the final game.

Choosing an appropriate starting point

Learners who know block coding but are new to Lua can connect familiar ideas with new instructions gradually. They do not need to have created a game before enrolling, but should know how to approach problems step by step and be ready to experiment with code. Previous Python experience with variables, conditions or loops may also help. Share the learner’s background with our teachers before choosing a group.

Enjoying games alone may not prepare a complete beginner for the combination of visual design, scene building and code-driven mechanics. Starting with Minecraft Education Coding can develop block coding and problem-solving foundations before Roblox Game Maker. Ask our teachers to assess experience and readiness individually, considering more than age alone.

How parents can support learning

After each lesson, ask what your child completed, what they want to improve and what the new code does. These questions help learners review their understanding and practise explaining ideas. Parents do not need coding skills. If a problem arises, save a screenshot or note the steps, then ask the teacher during a lesson or an arranged revision session. Help your child reason through the problem rather than building the game for them.

Before confirming a class, test Roblox Studio and the lesson communication setup on the actual computer that will be used. Tell our team about computer specifications or previous learning in advance so that teachers can recommend preparation and help you judge whether the course suits the learner’s goals.

Roblox Game Maker involves creating, testing and revising games. Allow time to experiment between lessons. An unfinished first attempt is part of learning: finding a problem and testing possible solutions helps students understand how their game works.

If you are unsure whether your child’s block coding experience is sufficient, share previous projects or describe their coding background. An early assessment helps match the class and level while supporting independent creation.

Parents can ask about example activities at each stage of the course and discuss a pathway that matches their child’s interests before enrolling.

Families may keep examples from different stages to see how planning, code reading and explanations improve. If a learner falls behind, tell the teacher promptly so that they can review the foundations before moving on.
