A dedicated “unplugged” version will also allow schools without reliable devices or internet access to participate. The programme will also include a Teacher Toolkit covering safeguarding guidance, parent-facing materials and curriculum alignment.
The initiative comes as schools face challenges making computing relevant to young people, while access to suitable technology remains an issue.
The partners cited figures showing 45% of households with children are below the Minimum Digital Living Standard, while two million people aged eight to 25 lack access to a device suitable for learning.

“We’re delighted to be launching a partnership with Roblox, which lets us tap into that creative energy in a way that’s deeply educational, deeply meaningful, and genuinely fun.”
