This page sketches early and current education pilots on Roblox and where they are happening. It focuses on official or semi official projects that schools museums and education nonprofits are already using.
# Overview
Roblox has an explicit education push under the Roblox Education banner. The goal is to reach large numbers of learners with standards aligned experiences while keeping Roblox as a general purpose platform.
Key ingredients:
- A curated list of educational experiences surfaced through the Roblox Learning Hub
- The Roblox Community Fund a 10M USD grant pool for education organisations
- Partnerships with STEM nonprofits museums safety programs and curriculum providers
Roblox describes these as gateways into learning across chemistry physics robotics math life skills and more rather than as a separate walled garden product.

# Community Fund Pilots
The Roblox Community Fund RCF provides grants to organisations building curriculum and experiences on the platform.
Examples of RCF backed or RCF adjacent pilots:
- Mission Mars from the Museum of Science Boston the first RCF recipient to launch a Roblox experience
- Early grants to a small set of education partners to prototype what standards aligned Roblox learning might look like
The fund is framed as a way to jumpstart a new chapter of education on Roblox rather than one off marketing activations

# STEM And Science Pilots A cluster of pilots live in high school STEM and science - Mission Mars - Pathogen Patrol
# Coding And Game Design Pilots
Roblox is also used as a teaching tool for coding and game design
CodeCombat Worlds
- A Roblox based pathway from CodeCombat that teaches Lua scripting and game design
- Includes structured levels and teacher dashboards so schools can adopt it as a CS module
PLTW Game Design And Development
- PLTW offers a high school module where students design games using Roblox Studio and Lua
- Positioned as a formal part of their Computer Science and Engineering pathways
These sit somewhere between enrichment and curriculum depending on the school

# Life Skills And Engineering Pilots
AVID Creator Planet
- A game for grades 9 12 developed with AVID and Super League
- Students work in teams to build structures and solve engineering challenges on an alien planet
- Aligned to US Next Generation Science Standards and framed around durable skills collaboration creativity critical thinking

Other life skills pilots in the learning hub focus on teamwork resilience and problem solving using light engineering and puzzle tasks
# Digital Citizenship And Safety Pilots
Several pilots focus on online safety and digital citizenship rather than STEM
Be Internet Awesome World
- A Roblox reimagining of Google s Be Internet Awesome curriculum
- Teaches kids about privacy security kindness and media literacy through mini games
- Connects to global Google classroom resources already used in many countries
Roblox Digital Civility Curriculum
- Roblox hosts a free online civility and safety course for educators
- Focuses on respectful behaviour reporting tools and critical thinking about online spaces
These pilots position Roblox as a place where online safety is taught not just enforced

# Geography And Public Service Pilots
BBC Bitesize Planet Planners
- A UK curriculum aligned geography experience hosted on Roblox
- Commissioned by BBC Children s and Education and Bitesize for Key Stage 3 learners
- Comes with teacher guides worksheets and classroom videos
This is one of the clearest examples of a public broadcaster endorsing a Roblox game as a teaching tool inside formal schooling

# Countries And Contexts
Where these pilots live today
- United States
- Strong presence through PLTW FIRST Discovery Education CodeCombat AVID and museum partners
- United Kingdom
- BBC Bitesize geography project and UK based coding camps and clubs
- Global outreach
- Google Be Internet Awesome World and Roblox Education coding camps have reached students in Europe Latin America and Asia
- Individual research pilots
- Case studies in Mexico and other countries where teachers tested Roblox for game based learning during and after the pandemic
Most of these are pilots supplements or specific modules rather than whole schools living inside Roblox

# Relevance To Hitchhiker For a Hitchhiker Passport and Voz ecosystem the Roblox Education pilots show that - Institutions are willing to treat Roblox as a serious venue if there is curriculum alignment and teacher support - Museums and nonprofits are already comfortable with space themed and engineering themed experiences - There is room for a narrative glue project that connects multiple educational worlds into a coherent galaxy rather than one off games Future pages can map Hitchhiker concepts like save the world missions onto these existing pilots and partners.
