Roblox has rolled out a brand-new Learning Hub, making it easier for students to explore educational games and interactive lessons all in one place.

Designed with summer break in mind for many Northern Hemisphere students, the hub aims to combine fun and learning through curated experiences built by Roblox creators and well-known educational institutions.

The Learning Hub covers a broad spectrum of topics, from traditional school subjects like math, computer science, and English language to life skills, internet safety, and environmental awareness.

What makes this initiative stand out is its partnership with respected organizations such as the BBC, Google, and Sesame Workshop, each contributing their own unique experiences tailored for young learners.

One of the spotlight experiences coming soon is Planet Planners, developed by the BBC’s Bitesize educational team in collaboration with Playerthree. Geared toward players aged 11 to 14, this game challenges students to tackle real-world issues such as natural disaster preparedness and urban development. It’s also designed to align with UK national curricula and U.S. K-12 standards. According to Oonagh Jaquest, Executive Producer of BBC Bitesize at BBC Education, the experience encourages learners to make decisions, observe their consequences, and explore diverse global settings — all within a group-play setup.

Beyond Planet Planners, the Learning Hub features other high-quality offerings. Sesame Street Mecha Builders, already visited over 70 million times, introduces children to STEM concepts through creative problem-solving with their favorite characters. Aaron Bisman, SVP of Marketing at Sesame Workshop, noted that “Roblox has built a vibrant global community where creativity, learning, and collaboration thrive.”

Users can also dive into experiences like:

• Lua Learning, which teaches coding through a built-in script editor,

• Domain Rangers, a marine biology exploration,

• Math Tower Race, a speed-based arithmetic challenge,

• Google’s Be Internet Awesome World, which delivers practical lessons on online safety, and

• Words of Power, an action RPG focused on vocabulary and emotional literacy.

There’s also Studio Lite for aspiring game developers, offering easy-to-follow tutorials on building and publishing games using Roblox tools. Plus, Mission: Mars from the Museum of Science gives players a simulated journey across the red planet, blending science with adventure.

According to Rebecca Kantar, Head of Education at Roblox, the hub provides a “convenient front door” for kids to access content that's both grade-appropriate and genuinely engaging. She emphasized that the platform is focused on reaching learners where they already are — in immersive digital spaces — while helping them build skills they’ll use in school and beyond.

The Learning Hub is accessible through the “More” tab under the Learn icon in both desktop and mobile versions of the Roblox app.
