Learn Lua Scripting in Roblox Studio 

By learning Roblox Lua and scripting their own programs and systems, your child can then create their own unique games, including dynamic elements that change based on events during gameplay.  

At the end of the Roblox Lua classes, your child will be able to create elaborate interactive games, using the logic of events and actions, iteration, inventory management and much more!

FunTech’s Roblox Lua lessons are for kids aged 11 to 16.

About this camp

During this Roblox course, your child will use Lua scripting to create games with a wealth of interactive elements, taking them from Roblox enthusiast to Roblox coder in no time. Our course introduces branching and iteration, enabling your child to create ongoing logic throughout their levels, including the modification of game object properties, such us colour, size, material and more, during gameplay.  

As their confidence starts to grow, they’ll learn how to add reactive components to their games. From spawning powerups when a player walks through a trigger zone, to destroying enemies when they collide with a laser, this is where their games truly come to life.   

With the ability to create high quality games already under their belt, your child will discover how to manage player inventory and script custom effects for equipping and activating items.  

By the end of this Roblox course, your child will be able to create a vast array of games, including obstacle courses, platformers, racing games, and stealth games. All of this is explored whilst teaching core programming concepts, including variables, data types, branching and iteration, that will be transferable to any language your child chooses to move onto later in life.
