Introduction
Welcome to the exciting world of game development with Roblox Studio!
This course is designed to empower students aged 8–17 to unleash their creativity by building their own 3D video games from the ground up. Through hands-on activities, students will learn how to design and manipulate objects in a three-dimensional space, while enhancing their problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
Using 
Lua
, a powerful text-based scripting language, students will bring their games to life by adding interactive behaviors and dynamic elements. They will also develop a deeper understanding of object-oriented programming principles and the importance of precision in coding — including syntax, spelling, and capitalization.
By the end of the course, students won't just be players — they will be creators, confidently designing, coding, testing, and refining their own unique obstacle-course-style games in Roblox Studio.
Materials Required
Participants in this workshop will need:
Computing Devices: Students will need access to a computer or laptop capable of connecting to online resources.
Learning Resources: Educational materials and documentation will be provided digitally, accessible through platforms like Moodle.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this workshop, students will:
Use 3D design tools to create and format objects along the x, y, and z axes.
Understand the fundamentals of object-oriented programming.
Add behaviors and interactions to game objects using Lua scripting.
Design, build, and code a basic obstacle-course-style game.
Test, debug, and refine their games based on real-time feedback.
Roblox Concepts Covered
3D object design and manipulation (moving, scaling, rotating)
Changing object properties (anchoring, transparency, collision settings)
Basic scripting in Lua (event-driven programming, functions, conditional logic)
Parent-child object relationships in a game environment
Setting up spawn points
Grouping objects into larger structures
Introduction to debugging and troubleshooting code
Beginner Path
Setting up Roblox Studio with the correct configurations
Navigating the 3D workspace (using mouse, keyboard controls)
Creating and modifying simple 3D objects (blocks, spheres, wedges, cylinders)
Changing object properties to affect behavior and appearance
Writing simple Lua scripts for object interaction (e.g., character "Touched" event causing a reset or elimination)
Advanced Path
Combining multiple objects to create more complex 3D structures
Enhancing object interactions with more detailed Lua scripting
Adding dynamic behaviors like obstacles, moving platforms, and hazards
Debugging scripts and improving code efficiency
Designing more challenging and creative obstacle courses and games
Exploring advanced Roblox Studio features like physics adjustments (gravity, collision)

Prince's Island Park

Natural scenery

小思文

Calgary is a very beautiful city. This is a city park. Prince Island Park has rich natural scenery. The park is full of various green and delicious plants and flowers. It is quite comfortable in the evening. The whole area is also very good.

Peace Bridge

It looks like a tunnel bridge, and it is also a transportation hub for passing through the other side of the river. The color of this bridge is very eye-catching, with red intersecting structures. Vehicles cannot pass through, but people and bicycles can pass freely. There are lights at night, and Fengjia feels magnificent. 
[Scenery] Very beautiful
