Wonderworks, Inc. (HQ: Shibuya, Tokyo; CEO: Tetsuo Okuda) announced the launch of 'CreateR Nest', a creator development project for Roblox, commissioned by the US-based Roblox Corporation to support creators in Japan.
CreateR Nest is an educational and creator development initiative using Roblox. It provides opportunities for children to not only 'consume' games and virtual spaces but to shape their ideas, publish works, and grow while learning with peers. CreateR Nest aims to be a 'nest' where future creators can gather, learn, challenge themselves, and fly off into the world.
Through CreateR Nest, the company aims to create an environment where children can experience the joy of 'making games' rather than just 'playing games' by hosting free workshops, distributing videos on YouTube, providing information on their website, developing beginner-friendly content, facilitating community formation, and partnering with educational institutions and local organizations.
1. Launch of CreateR Nest Website
In conjunction with workshops and YouTube activities, the official CreateR Nest website (creaternest.jp) has been launched. The site will feature workshop information, event announcements, YouTube videos, articles for beginners, creation tips, community information, activity reports, and upcoming projects. They are also seeking educational institutions, local organizations, and corporate partners engaged in digital education.
2. Hosting Free Workshops
To commemorate the start of the project, CreateR Nest will host free Roblox Studio workshops for elementary and junior high school students. Participants will also receive original Roblox merchandise. The workshops will be held at Shibuya Cultural Center Owada (a 5-minute walk from Shibuya Station). PCs will be provided, allowing beginners to participate with ease.
Currently announced dates are as follows: - May 30, 2026 (Sat) 10:00–11:30 - June 13, 2026 (Sat) 10:00–11:30 - June 20, 2026 (Sat) 10:00–11:30
3. Educational Content on YouTube
CreateR Nest will focus on video content via YouTube. They plan to introduce how to start Roblox Studio, beginner operation guides, and the basics of game creation in a way that is easy to understand for children experiencing it for the first time.
