Roblox Studio Game Coding for Kids in Kitchener-Waterloo
Turn gaming into creating — design and publish your own Roblox games in Kitchener-Waterloo

This course teaches students in Kitchener-Waterloo to design, code, and publish their own games, turning passive screen time into active creation — while learning genuine programming concepts that transfer to other languages and real development careers.

Prerequisites
No prior coding experience required. Familiarity with playing Roblox is helpful but not mandatory. A Windows or Mac computer that can run Roblox Studio is needed.
Who is this course for?
Kids aged 11–15 in Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, and New Hamburg who play Roblox and want to go deeper — or any student interested in game design. A powerful motivator for students who find abstract programming less engaging, because everything shows up immediately in a game they are building themselves.
