Aimed at young users of the highly popular online platform Roblox, The Roblox Raising Producers programme shifts their role from content consumers to confident producers by introducing them to Roblox Studio, the powerful game development engine behind Roblox.
We are delighted to partner with HoloGen and specifically course educator, Barry Haughey, on this programme since 2024.

St Patrick’s Tower is a ‘smock’ style windmill as its tapering construction shape resembled the traditional farmer’s smock dress of the time.
It’s all the more unique because its circular while this type of windmill was more often hexagonal or octagonal.

~ The Digital Hub #MemberMonday ~
@thelibertiescommunityproject have been a member of The Digital Hub since March 2022.
@thelibertiescommunityproject - is an amalgamation of SICCDA and Robert Emmet CDP - two South West Inner City Dublin community development organisations established in 1982 and 2003 respectively in response to long term localised unemployment and poverty.
@thelibertiescommunityproject delivers a wide array of charitable programmes across a number of key areas.
@thelibertiescommunityproject believes effective community development is about more than delivering charitable services to ease the burden that inequitable policy and resourcing decisions have had, and continue to have, on the SWIC community.
It is about supporting a local community engage in research and advocacy projects that can drive decisions that affect their own development. It’s about creating a more equitable future where the SWIC community is subject to resources and policies that allow it to thrive.
