Two Tech-Powered Adventures with FunTech

This summer, budding coders and new skill-seekers can dive into one of two immersive digital workshops with FunTech: Roblox Game Designer and Minecraft Mod Developer. In Roblox Game Designer, children will build and publish their own obstacle-packed multiplayer games using Roblox Studio. In Minecraft Mod Developer, they’ll transform the game they love by coding custom items, mobs, biomes and dimensions. Both courses are packed with creativity, problem-solving and real tech skills — perfect for young creators ready to level up.

FunTech Course Overview

Roblox Game Designer

From Obby Runner to Game Creator

In this hands-on workshop, children learn to design and build their own interactive multiplayer games using Roblox Studio — the official platform behind one of the world’s most popular gaming environments. Starting with an obstacle course (“Obby”), they’ll explore key game design principles such as physics, terrain sculpting, GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces), and dynamic elements like trap doors, moving platforms, springs and hinges.

As they advance, children unlock the power of multiplayer mechanics, checkpoints and player stats, learning how to publish their creations to share with friends and the wider Roblox community. It's a perfect blend of creativity, logic and real-world digital skills.

Course Features:

Build & customise obstacle-style games
Learn game physics, GUIs & multiplayer logic
Sculpt landscapes & interactive environments
Publish finished games to Roblox’s online platform

Minecraft Mod Developer

Player on Monday. Developer by Friday.

This exciting course takes Minecraft enthusiasts on a journey into modding — turning their favourite game into a personalised adventure. Using MCreator, children learn to design, build and test their own modifications, from custom tools and blocks to new creatures, biomes and even dimensions. They’ll explore logic and coding fundamentals like IF-THEN-ELSE, as well as event-driven design to create game elements that react to player actions.

As their skills grow, children experiment with real-world principles (like gravity and energy), while enhancing their builds using textures, effects and unique in-game functions. The week culminates in a fully playable, personalised Minecraft mod pack to enjoy long after the workshop ends.

Course Features:

Create and code custom mobs, items and worlds
Learn game logic using event-driven programming
Explore STEM through Minecraft mechanics
Build a complete mod pack to play and share
