Coding Video Game Design: Ninja Attacks!
Video games are everywhere and in almost every form you can imagine! In Coding Game Design: Ninja Attack, we will create our own version of a Platform game set in a dojo that we will defend from a ninja attack! We will use the Engineering Design Process to create a storyboard to outline the rules of play and characters for our game. Then, we will use software to bring our storyboard to life with programming. At the end of the class, everyone takes home a working Windows compatible video game.

Virtual Adventure Games Roblox Coding Classes (Ages 8-12)
Join us, from the comfort of your home, for this virtual program. Create an adventure game where players explore a world to find items to harvest and sell.
Roblox is built using a coding language called Lua. Students learn to create New Scripts in Roblox and Over time, the knowledge of coding will become more and more complex and allow them to write out full scripts of Lua code.
Class Requirements:
- A PC or Mac computer. Roblox cannot run on Chromebooks or mobile devices such as smartphones.
- Internet access. This allows us to keep the software up to date and gives you the opportunity to save your projects to your Roblox account.
- A free Roblox account. Roblox Studio is free to use and does not require a license.
- A 3-button mouse with a scroll wheel is recommended.
Further details on how to join the online classroom will be communicated with enrolled families.
