UGC platform Roblox has launched a new education-focused service called Learning Hub. 

This venture is set to cover a range of topics, including maths, English and computer science, with more to come. Roblox has partnered with the BBC's Bitesize education arm for a geography-focused experience called Planet Planners. 

“Our new Learning Hub becomes available just as many students around the world are out of school for summer break,” Roblox's head of education Rebecca Kantar said.

“Whether students are looking to try building a game for the first time or to practice skills they’ll need again for the fall, our Learning Hub serves as a convenient front door. We aim to give more and more Roblox users globally access to subject- and grade-level-appropriate content that will ignite their genuine interest in learning.”

BBC Bitesize exec producer Oonagh Jaquest added: “BBC Bitesize is committed to offering world-class educational experiences to all learners, and game-based learning is a great way for students to engage with complex subject content while developing skills like critical thinking and problem-solving. The Roblox team has worked collaboratively with us to develop a really rich experience, which lets young people explore diverse locations around the world, see their decisions play out tangibly in the environment, and even play as class groups.”

Roblox recently unveiled a new Licensing Hub, too.
