Providing an early STEM education for a child can help establish a lifelong connection between the student and scientific understanding and exploration that is at the heart of STEM, say advocates and a growing body of research. 

Young children are innately curious and eager to explore the world. Helping facilitate that enthusiasm can fuel an ongoing interest in key STEM concepts.

Roblox is a popular multiplayer game that many children have been playing outside of school time, nights, and weekends. It features interactive technology that allows students to build and play in worlds they have created.

The collaborative aspect of Roblox can allow students to connect with others virtually, while co-creating worlds. As educators, we know that when students are interested in a topic, they are more engaged, and thus, learn more. We also know that when we develop learning activities in exciting ways beyond traditional lectures and worksheets, students are able to experience content in multiple ways. 

One way to bring these types of experiential learning experiences and project-based learning to the traditional classroom is by embracing Roblox(opens in new tab) and creating a Roblox classroom. A Roblox classroom can have a wide range of features while specifically providing students opportunities to code, create, and collaborate!
