SkillQuest Rocket League Bot Building

SkillQuest Rocket League Bot Building with Python

• Grades: 9+
• Number of Students: 1, 10, 25, or Unlimited

Highlights:

Teach real coding skills through one of the most engaging games in the world
If you teach computer science, you know how hard it can be to keep students excited once lessons turn abstract. Syntax, loops, and logic all make sense in theory, but it’s when students see their code come to life that everything finally clicks.
This course, Rocket League Bot Course, turns learning Python into a hands-on, competitive experience where students write real code to build their own Rocket League bots, cars that can actually play the game.
It’s practical. It’s exciting! 

Most computer science curriculums teach coding concepts but struggle to connect them to real-world application. Students can memorize syntax, but they rarely see how their work translates into something tangible or fun.

That disconnect leads to frustration, boredom, and disengagement. Teachers end up spending more time trying to keep students motivated than actually teaching the material.

Once you get your students set up, the program requires no additional teaching or input from you. All of the education is included. Students will likely be more successful if you engage with the material, but it isn’t required.

Curriculum or Lesson Topics:

Skillquest bridges that gap by giving students a reason to care about what they’re coding.

In this course, they’ll use Python to program, test, and compete with their own Rocket League bots — directly applying the concepts you’re already teaching.

As they progress, students learn to:

• Write and debug Python code
  

• Understand and modify existing code
  

• Problem-solve through iteration and testing
  

• Collaborate and share ideas with classmates
  

• Compete in a nationwide Rocket League bot tournament at the end of the semester
  
  

Teachers report that this course is simple to implement and instantly boosts classroom engagement.
