Game Design Club

In Roblox Studio and Scratch or any game design languanges, there are various resources we can use to create a game or a project. You can create/draw sprites, code, design audio, 3D model, and much more!

This is where Game Design club comes in — we motivate students of all ages and genders to experiment with all the components of game design, coding, and the myriad STEM foundations involved in making a game with Roblox Studio and/or Scratch! Using LUA scripting, Roblox Studio’s terrain editor and modeling tools, and Scratch’s sprite editor and block coding, students will learn coding, physics concepts, animation, and sound design. We will also have monthly challenges and showcases where students will individually create games based on themes, given sprites, etc, and then present them. Students also have the option of creating games together in teams and splitting into different roles (animator, coder, artist, audio designer, etc.).
