TESTIMONIALS FROM STUDENTS

 

"Each of the games we play here requires us to think outside the box. Through these challenging experiences, we are able to learn subjects that are beyond the standard." - Levi Toledano

 

"In addition, what we are doing as a team is something more important and valuable than just competing. We are united and working as a collaborative team to as Bao mentioned 'destroy the myth about urban students.'" - Andrew Bergeron

 

"Taken as a whole, Academic Games is something I greatly enjoy doing! It has helped me improve my critical thinking and analytical skills. And it feels great to know that academic excellence is finally being rewarded. I am truly glad to have joined this phenomenal team." - Lili Wondwodson

 

"Here at Academic Games, however, the environment is completely different; it is a whole other community. The students that are here, including myself, participate because we “want to” be here to learn, not because we “have to” be here. We are here because we are dedicated and committed to this program, because we all want to learn and work to create a long-lasting legacy for our state. " - Victoria Luu

 

"When I first learned to play the game, I struggled with comprehension and disliked the fact that I could not win immediately. However, with the help of my coaches and peers, I have learned now to see the bigger picture. " - Tony Lee

 

"By learning to think quickly and precisely, I have witnessed improvements in school and also in my preparation for the SAT next year. Equations have shown me math in the most interesting and fascinating way that I have even seen. In fact, whenever one of the coaches mentions that Equations is going to be played, I would be the first student to go get the cubes and playing mat." - Breeze Victor

 

"Through Academic Games, I embraced how quick thinking and precise decision-making can change the outcome of the "universe.” Equations, On-sets, Propaganda, and Presidents are not just games; they are software in which we have installed in our mental computers so that processing and calculating can be done at a greater and more efficient pace." - Hieu Nguyen
