How Coding Classes Can Change Your Child’s Life
I come across a lot of “mom” memes and videos on social media. You know the ones. They describe the indescribable: what it’s like to be a parent. I particularly like the one where the mom is pictured with kids running wild around her with the message: I run a tight ship… A pirate ship. (Lol!) But the kind I relate to most is the one where a mom’s bored, blank face shows while she’s trapped in a car with her kid, listening to him go on and on about his latest Roblox adventure.
Sigh.
Okay. So you may not love listening to your kids explain how they arrested the bad guys and collected their bounty in Jailbreak. And you may absolutely despise how much you spend on Robux to buy the next big game. I mean, one of the tutors here at TestingMom said her kid spent $2,000 on her credit card to buy Robux! So believe me. I get it.
But what if you could turn your little Robux spenders into big Robux earners? What if your children could make their own real money coding their own game models and selling them, instead of spending all your hard-earned work-bucks on Robux? I mean, have you heard of Alex Balfanz? He is one of the guys who used Roblox Studio to create the game Jailbreak, which your kids love so much, and he was just a middle-schooler! He has made enough money creating games to pay his way through Duke University. That’s amazing, right?
TMCA’s Roblox Studio camps teach kids in grades 3-8 to create games in fun, creative ways. They can start at the introductory level and take consecutive courses to build their game-making skills and knowledge.
I’m not talking about simply playing Roblox on PlayStation or Xbox. I’m talking about your kids learning to code like Alex Balfanz and creating video games. The Testing Mom Coding Academy (TMCA) was offering amazing classes on using Roblox Studio and applying programming languages like Lua, in addition to many other digital technologies. Your children will have fun building and playing games, make new friends, AND gain the ability to create games to sell and earn their own money.
Doesn’t that sound awesome?
