I have been learning and teaching computing and programming for over 20 years.
My lectures are organised, well presented, and easy to follow.
I was introduced to playing Roblox, and creating in Roblox Studio by my 10 year old son.
I love the Roblox platform, and the resources available to create a professional Roblox game.
I have created these courses to teach you step by step how to turn your ideas into working games, and once you have the basics you can begin to create any game you can imagine.
