Trustpilot’s #1 rated coding camps for kids!
Use Roblox To Master Coding Fundamentals Through An Immersive Coding Experience
Camp Description
Intro to Roblox Game Development introduces students to the wonderful world of Roblox game creation! Students will create their own obstacle course (known as an Obby) with Roblox Studio – a free Roblox game editing software. They’ll learn how to add basic elements to their game, such as blocks to jump on, health-damaging obstacles, and moving parts. Students will also touch on fundamental Lua programming concepts. By the end of this 1-week camp, students will have a fully developed obstacle course project and will have the skills to create their own basic Roblox games.
For ages 8-13
Beginners welcome. No homework – All fun!
Learning Objectives
- 1 Operate Roblox Studio
- 2 Create fundamental Roblox games
- 3 Basic understanding of Lua programming
Roblox Coding Camp Lessons
Getting Familiar With Roblox Studio
In this first lesson, students begin to understand the basics of redstone components. This includes how to activate, position, and extend redstone blocks. By the end of this lesson, students will have built a fort that has redstone-powered traps to protect against mobs!In this first lesson, students get acquainted with how to navigate through Roblox Studio, the game development environment for Roblox games. They begin to develop their very own obstacle course, also known as an obby. They do this by adding some basic shapes and spawn points into their game.
New Obstacles and the Toolbox
In this lesson, students learn about how to add pre-built objects into their game environment. They customize their own obstacles and take their first steps into script writing with the Lua programming language. They’ll learn basic coding concepts such as variables, loops, and function calls.
Trampolines and Conveyors
In this lesson, students will create two new types of obstacles: trampolines and conveyors. They are giving partially completed obstacles and delve deeper into programming with Lua by creating boolean values and conditional statements to complete these obstacles.
Moving Obstacles
In this lesson, students learn about creating obstacles that can move back and forth between two points. This involves using more advanced loops and another concept referred to as vectors. Then, they will create blocks that spin in a circle to add another level of difficulty to their obby.
Disappearing Stairs and a VIP Area
In this final lesson, students will put together everything they’ve learned to create a disappearing stairs stage and their very own obstacle from scratch. They will expand on their knowledge of loops and conditionals in Lua while learning about functions. Then, they work as a team to create a VIP area for those who complete their obstacle course.
Technical Requirements
Before the start of camp, students should meet the following requirements:
- Be familiar with navigating programs and files on their computer
- Meet all Roblox system requirements
- Have all required class technology
- Install a copy of Roblox Studio

Parents & Students Love The CodeWizardsHQ Summer Program!
Great Program That Really Teaches Coding
Our 13 year old took this program over the summer and really enjoyed it. He found it challenging and fun at the same time. He thought it was a bit more difficult than typical middle school coding programs but that’s what kept him engaged. This wasn’t glorified babysitting, this program really taught him to do some coding.
Great Experience!
My son enrolled in the beginner class for Python Programming. It was great! He learned a lot and it was nice that all lectures are recorded since there were a few days he had to miss during the summer.
Highly Recommended On So Many Levels!
This was a great summer program for my 14-year-old. She really enjoyed it and learned a lot. The projects and homework were not overly time-intensive but reinforced each session. I highly recommend this program and so does she :).
