Roblox Physics and Math Lab: Lua Coding Camp

Turn Roblox Studio into a hands-on science lab. Over four live sessions, learners ages 10–13 use Lua scripting to explore curriculum-level math and physics concepts by building and testing real Roblox experiments. Students write scripts that make the engine behave according to their math — when the code is off, the experiment shows it. Lessons focus on making abstract ideas visible and debuggable through code. Projects include building a 3D coordinate grid and plotting Vector3 points, scripting rooms that auto-calculate area, perimeter and volume using Part Size properties, creating a working analog clock with CFrame angles and real time, and designing a race track and speed camera to measure velocity. Physics topics covered include gravity, free fall and projectile motion; coding tools include Lua math functions, Vector3, CFrame, TweenService, os.time() and tick(). This is a coding-first course that uses math and physics as tools to solve problems inside Roblox. Students receive post-class practice worksheets and guidance on creating an original physics-based Roblox project to demonstrate what they learned. The format emphasizes experimentation, observation, and iterative debugging so learners deepen both their math/physics understanding and practical Lua skills.
