Lancashire Partnership Against Crime & Blackburn Youth Zone

Lancashire Partnership Against Crime & Blackburn Youth Zone

The Roblox Summer Course was a successful pilot of our beginners programme, delivered in partnership between Blackburn & Darwen Youth Zone and Sairo. Over four weeks, we engaged 45 young people aged 6-11 from across Blackburn and Darwen, teaching them essential digital skills through hands-on game development on the Roblox platform.

Participants concepting and game development while creating their own Roblox games and characters. The course included a two-hour crash course focused on the creative tools used to design concept art for Roblox characters and worlds, helping young people understand the 'why' behind the design process. This pilot programme demonstrates what we do best—inspiring young people while giving them space to learn and grow. Building on the success of this pilot, we're confident in expanding this initiative as a core part of Sairo Education, transforming gaming from a recreational activity into a pathway for creative and professional development while directly addressing the digital skills gap in Blackburn and Darwen.
