There is a demand from students and teachers to use more advanced programming environments, like Roblox Studio, to meet the requirements of the latest AP Computer Science Principles standards. Discover creative and engaging ways to help students thrive using Roblox as your tool.

In this edWebinar, we go through what Roblox Education in the high school classroom looks like and how to best teach it. Viewers get full access to the 30-hour online curriculum. The curriculum is designed to cover all topics required for the AP Computer Science Principles Performance Task using the Roblox Studio and Lua programming language.

This recorded edWebinar is of interest to high school teachers, school and district leaders, and education technology leaders.
