Roblox

By Ava

What is roblox? 

Roblox is an online platform and storefront where people go to play games. Roblox is not just a game, it’s a place where people play games made by other developers. In this sense, it is more similar to PC platform Steam than it is to any online children’s game.

Roblox naturally boosts children's creativity. This  is a platform where kids create games for fun. Unlike many other games aimed at children, Roblox doesn’t have a story or narrative. Instead the kids focused on allowing themselves to craft their own experiences. 

-Many parents are likely to be unaware that Roblox can also be a great tool for teaching their children programming and coding skills. Unlike other games, Roblox was designed with coding in mind, being built from the ground using a simple coding language named Lua.

Although Roblox is predominantly free to play, users can buy Robux, a type of in-game currency unique to this platform. Although this may send alarm bells ringing for some parents, purchasing Robux is not necessary for kids to have access to many of the mechanics and features of Roblox. However, for some children (particularly older ones), this provides them with the unique opportunity to earn Robux through their creations. After spending their time building games and other similar projects, entrepreneurial young developers can choose to charge other users to play their game in the Robux currency.

As we are all aware, our modern lives are heavily centered around using technology and the internet. Unlike our predecessors, computing skills are a necessity if we wish to connect with friends, find new clients, and set up successful businesses.
