Arlington Community Education

Use Roblox Studio to create your own Obby (short for obstacle course) video game. You’ll experiment with specific tasks and movements and share gaming with classmates while learning important STEM concepts of design, problem solving, and trial/error. All games will be stored online, so you can access them from home.

We’ll explore the basic principles of 3D design by learning how to place, adjust, and combine shapes using Tinkercad. We’ll practice merging blocks and cylinders together, and learn to look at an object from all sides. As we design a solid object such as a small piece of furniture or a chess piece, we’ll explore how 3D modeling works. We’ll get to see the results in a 3D-printed finished product.

Build simple video games step-by-step, experimenting with specific tasks and movements, and sharing gameplay, while learning introductory coding concepts. Use the game design program Flowlab, a platform used by professional game designers, to prototype your creations using accessible drag-and-drop coding. Once the class is complete, students can gain access to their projects online.
