Section 1: Game Design
Game Design with Roblox - This is a class for students who are passionate about video games. Using Roblox Studio to create their own Roblox games, students learn what it takes to make a video game. Along the way, they learn the different elements that make up a game, and learn how to talk about their favorite games through the critical lens of a game designer. Students also learn how to make ANYTHING with a map editor, how to make their game pretty, and how to breathe life into their game with basic scripting. Finally, students learn how to work professionally in the video game industry, and how to make video games for a living. Students walk away from the class with an increased understanding of video games, how they are made, a couple games of their own, and an increased passion for video games!
Section 2: TinkerCad
Students will learn the basics in creating 3D Designs and concepts of how to grab, drop and distort objects. Students will learn drafting terminology and how to create complex designs through basic shapes. Students will build skills to design with intention to print their own designs on a 3D Printer.
