Roblox just tossed something new into the mix—a Learning Hub. And it’s all about education, believe it or not. They’re diving into a bunch of stuff like math (which I never really got), English, and all that computer science jazz. Seriously, it’s like they’ve got big plans with more on the horizon. Oh, and they’ve teamed up with BBC Bitesize for a geography thing called Planet Planners. Cool name, right?
Rebecca Kantar, who apparently runs the education show at Roblox, mentioned—right as summer break hits, mind you—that this Hub’s perfect for those out-of-school months. Like, if you’re itching to try building a game or just wanna keep your skills sharp for fall, this is your go-to spot. It’s like a gateway to learning, and I kinda love that idea even if I can barely code a microwave timer.
On the BBC side, Oonagh Jaquest (imagine having to spell that last name all the time) is all about bringing top-notch education to everyone. Something about games helping kids grapple with tough subjects. I mean, who wouldn’t want to play in diverse worlds and see their decisions actually change stuff around them? Plus, they can even do this as a class group, which honestly sounds more fun than any group projects I ever did.
Oh, and not to forget, Roblox also rolled out this Licensing Hub. Why? Beats me. Feels like they’re just on a roll with these launches. Anyway, where was I? Right, education. Who knew Roblox was gonna be the place to level up your brain this summer? Wild.
