The in-person stage of the project was named Expedition Roblox on the Road.
The action has already passed through Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Brasília, bringing practical activities to students.

In São Paulo, public school students created their own projects and participated in a game competition.
The stage also offered spaces for parents and guardians to better understand the platform.
Guardians were also able to understand the parental control features available on Roblox.

Expedition Roblox also offers online and completely free training tracks.
The content was developed by Mastertech to work directly within Roblox Studio.
The track uses a custom plugin created to support learning within the platform.
In total, the training adds up to 36 hours of content.
Each participant can progress at their own pace, according to their availability and interest in game creation.
The program also offers materials for educators interested in using Roblox as a learning tool.
Parents and guardians also find content to better understand how the platform works.
