Daisy, Brownie, and Junior Digital Game Design using Roblox Studio
If your Girl Scout Troop is tech savvy like mine, they have probably discovered the world of Roblox. If you haven't heard about it before, Roblox is a platform where any user can create a game using free software, and then publish it online for everyone to play for free! After reading the new Digital Game Design requirements, I thought this would be a perfect platform for my Troop since most of them are already playing games on it and having their own game on that platform would really spark their interest. This would also be a great time to introduce the Cybersecurity badges to make sure they stay safe online with their gaming profiles on and learn about hackers and scammers they may encounter while playing an online game.

Here are the Digital Game Design requirements for all the levels:
The Daisy, Brownie, and Junior requirements all include creating a maze game which is a great start to creating a game on Roblox. This will teach them how to manipulate the objects, test, and publish their game without having to learn any coding. The Cadette, Senior, and Ambassador levels can also benefit from creating a maze but they should take it a few steps further and learn how to create interactive GUIs to include decision trees with basic coding.
All you need to complete the Digital Game Design with your Troop is a Windows or Mac PC with Roblox Studio installed (free at Roblox.com/create), a free Roblox account for each Girl Scout or team of Girl Scouts, and internet access. Once the game is created using Roblox Studio, it is playable on PC, Mac, Android, iOS, XBOX One, and Amazon devices.
