Our Roblox Studio Classes meets once-per-week online, but we also host in-person events too. All Hackingtons students are invited to join the fun!

Why Roblox Studio + Lua?

Real engine, real concepts

Students learn object hierarchies, events, scripts, and client/server architecture — foundations that transfer to any modern game engine.

Approachable scripting

The Lua programming language is clean and readable. Kids quickly grasp variables, tables, and functions, then move into events, modules, and RemoteEvents.

Create anything

Obbies, simulators, tycoons, adventure games — Studio’s tools plus Lua scripting unlock professional‑feeling gameplay.

Built‑in teamwork

Students practice code reviews, playtesting, and working across client and server scripts — just like a real dev team.

What does Lua look like?

A simple script: touch a part to print a message

-- Script inside a Part
local part = script.Parent

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    print("You touched the part!")
end)

Students start with small, fun scripts like this and build up to full games.

FAQ

Do kids need prior experience?

No. We start with Studio basics and beginner Lua. Advanced students get stretch goals and code reviews.

What do we need at home?

A free Roblox account and a Windows/Mac computer that can run Roblox Studio. We’ll help with installation and setup.

Can kids publish their games?

Yes — when they’re ready. We cover responsible publishing and safety guidelines so students share work appropriately.

What if my child prefers Python or Unity later?

Great! Lua builds transferable skills. Many students start in Roblox and move into Python, JavaScript, or Unity3D smoothly.
