TechHigher Launches New 'Beginner Roblox Course' Focusing on Blender for Creative Students
Introduction
TechHigher, operated by Exceed Co., Ltd., based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has just unveiled a new educational resource titled 'Beginner Roblox Course', set to launch in September 2025. This course leverages the global popularity of the online platform Roblox, focusing primarily on 3D modeling with Blender. The goal is to guide students from the experience of playing games to the exciting world of creating their very own items.
Course Overview
Having initiated their 'Roblox Introductory Course' in 2024, which provides foundational skills suitable for younger students, TechHigher now takes a significant step forward with the Beginner course. The curriculum is structured with a 70:30 ratio of modeling to programming, emphasizing the importance of hands-on experience in crafting original items within Blender. Students will ultimately transition from being mere players to becoming "creators" as they engage with their own designed characters and vehicles in Roblox.
Target Audience
The course is tailored for students from the 3rd grade and above who have completed both the Roblox Introductory and Blender Introductory courses.
Learning Structure
The first three sessions will concentrate solely on Blender modeling, eliminating programming to allow students to fully immerse themselves in the creation process. Following this foundation, they will progressively learn to integrate their models into Roblox Studio and implement scripts to animate their creations.
Curriculum Breakdown
The course comprises 24 sessions categorized under various themes, each designed to engage students and cultivate their skills. Here’s what to expect:
| Making Furniture | Crafting playable furniture that players can sit on | 3 sessions |
|---|---|---|
| Creating a Merry-go-round | Implementing a rotation script for interactive play | 3 sessions |
| Designing Accessories | Producing wearable items for character personalization | 3 sessions |
| Developing Handheld Items | Utilizing 'Tool' parts to create items players can hold | 3 sessions |
| Character Creation | Designing an NPC snowman that can converse with players | 4 sessions |
| Building Vehicles | Creating drivable cars with functional controls | 4 sessions |
| Crafting Capsule Toy Machines | Designing an operational machine that dispenses items | 4 sessions |
The emphasis on creativity not only enables students to enjoy their learning journey but also fosters vital skills such as logic in implementation and creativity in idea generation.
Examples of Student Creations
Students will engage in exciting projects like character creation and vehicle building, examples of which can be seen in the following sample video.
Benefits for Classes
Competitive Edge
The combined focus on both Roblox and Blender creates a unique educational package, offering a powerful tool for attracting students. The ability to learn programming and modeling simultaneously serves as a compelling feature for various events and enrollment promotions.
Enhanced Retention Rates
Completing the introductory course sets the stage for students to easily progress to higher levels, ensuring long-term enrollment opportunities (with an intermediate course slated for 2026).
Educational Value
The process of converting their ideas into Blender creations and animating them within Roblox enhances not only students' creativity but also their logical thinking skills.
Implementation Costs
Classes can partner with TechHigher at a significantly reduced initial fee of approximately 30,000 JPY (approximately one-sixth of competitor prices). The ongoing monthly costs will be around 3,000 JPY (about two-thirds of competing options). Per-student costs are expected to remain around 1,000 JPY monthly. Furthermore, classes are free to combine with other educational materials and offer online sessions.
