Wonder Works Launches 'CreateR Nest'
Wonder Works Corporation, based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has just announced the initiation of a creator development project called
'CreateR Nest' in collaboration with Roblox Corporation. This initiative is aimed at fostering creativity among children in Japan by leveraging the
Roblox platform.
What is CreateR Nest?
CreateR Nest is designed as an educational program that encourages children to engage with digital spaces not just as consumers but as creators. By providing an environment where they can conceptualize ideas, create, showcase their work, and learn from peers, the project aspires to guide future creators in their journeys.
The initiative will include a variety of activities such as:
- - Free workshops
- - Video tutorials on YouTube
- - Informational updates on the official website
- - Accessible learning resources for beginners
- - Community building and support for interaction among creators
- - Partnerships with educational institutions and local organizations
Through these activities, CreateR Nest aims to cultivate an environment where children can discover the joy of game creation rather than just merely playing games.
Launching the Official Website
In conjunction with the workshops and YouTube activities, the official CreateR Nest website,
creaternest.jp, has been launched. The website will feature:
- - Information about workshops and events
- - Links to YouTube videos
- - Beginner-friendly articles
- - Production tips
- - Community information
- - Activity reports
- - Upcoming project information
The platform will also welcome educational institutions, local organizations, and corporate partners engaged in digital education and creative activities, with an eye towards expanding collaborative efforts in programming education, community events, and workshops for children.
Hosting Free Workshops
To commemorate the kickoff of CreateR Nest, a series of free workshops focusing on
Roblox Studio—the game creation tool for Roblox—will be held for elementary and middle school students. Participants will receive exclusive Roblox merchandise! These beginner-focused workshops will cover:
- - An introduction to Roblox Studio
- - How to create a game
- - Placing maps
- - Moving characters
- - Building a personal world
The workshops promise a hands-on experience designed to spark enthusiasm for game development. Set to take place at the Shibuya Cultural Comprehensive Center Awada—just five minutes from Shibuya Station—laptops will be provided, ensuring a comfortable and accessible environment for all participants. Current scheduled dates include:
- - May 30, 2026 (Saturday) from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM
- - June 13, 2026 (Saturday) from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM
- - June 20, 2026 (Saturday) from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM
Additional dates will be announced as needed, and if participation is high, a lottery system will be implemented.
Engaging with YouTube
CreateR Nest will also focus on sharing educational content through YouTube. Planned video content includes:
- - Getting started with Roblox Studio
- - Basic operation guides for beginners
- - Fundamentals of game development
- - Easy project ideas for children
- - Behind-the-scenes footage of game creation
- - Event reports and creator highlights
This approach aims to establish an accessible environment for children from areas unable to attend workshops, inviting them to engage in game creation from their own homes.
