Roblox and Minecraft are not only fun video game sandboxes for kids to spend time with their friends online, but they also boast engaging and robust coding environments for kids to to create their own games.

In this 6-week specialized course, students will go behind the scenes in the Minecraft and Roblox worlds to create new and exciting games and features. Using both in-game resources and models together with programming skills, they will design new and unique worlds!

In the Roblox series, students will learn the programming language Lua to design and create their own multiplayer game. In the Minecraft series, students will learn how to develop custom content and change the basic functions in Minecraft to create their own worlds and experiences using the programming language JavaScript.

HOW IT WORKS

The Specialized Series

Students will be led by an experienced Code Central instructor and guided together as they build a game in Roblox or Minecraft. During the development of their project, students will learn and apply important programming concepts to help them add extra aspects to their personalized game that can be shared with friends and family.

During the development of their game, students will experiment with different aspects of the programming concepts that they have been introduced to, as well as try out the games of their peers in the class. During the final class of the series, students will have the opportunity to play in each other’s worlds and will receive a copy of their games to continue developing at home.

How is this series different than regular Code Central sessions?

During our regular sessions, students are able to explore a variety of project topics and work independently. The Specialized Series teaches students in a classroom-like environment where everyone is working on a project together. Topics such as Roblox and Minecraft programming are only offered in the Specialized Series classes, not regular sessions.

My son has been going to Code Central for almost a year. He loves it. My son says it’s the best place he has ever been to. He loved it so much that he wanted us to change from 1 hour to a 2-hour session once a week. – May N.
