AG Academy

Ethan has participated in Academic Games since fourth grade, competing at numerous state and national tournaments. In ninth grade, he began teaching Academic Games to elementary students through coaching at a local elementary school and Camp AG, a free summer camp dedicated to making Academic Games more accessible. Ethan created the AG Academy website and continues to manage and update the platform while developing its curriculum. He helped create AG Academy after seeing that many students who enjoyed Camp AG wanted to continue playing but did not have access to an Academic Games program. Through AG Academy, he hopes to give those students a way to continue learning while introducing Academic Games to even more students.

Natalie helped develop the idea for AG Academy and leads the creation of curriculum and instructional videos for the platform. She enjoys Academic Games because it gives students a way to be competitive while still having fun, while also introducing them to academic subjects they may not otherwise find engaging. Natalie cares about AG Academy because it can make Academic Games accessible to more students, especially those in communities where similar programs, resources, or extracurricular opportunities may not be readily available. Through her work on the curriculum, she hopes to help more students discover Academic Games and build an interest in learning through competition and play.
