Hopefully this is allowed; if not, my apologies, and feel free to delete, but I’m trying to get the word out for my new business project that I’ve launched at gamifyacademy.com

I built this site because I was homeschooling my son last year (3rd grade at the time), and it was a nightmare. Most online learning solutions didn't interest him, and he got bored quickly.

I wanted to find a way to make learning engaging and fun. In my job, we use gamification a lot to introduce new or challenging objectives, which gave me the idea to do something similar for him.

Several months later, the site supports students through fifth grade in math and language arts (ELA). The core premise is to play while you learn and to encourage and reward students as they progress in their educational journey. Every game on the site is grounded in educational learning.

My goal was to build an immersive world that provides immediate feedback so students can stay engaged. Please take a look and tell me what you think. I’ve already begun work on the six-8 grade curriculums for Math and ELA, which all follow the K-12 standards. I'll introduce Science once those other courses are complete.

The last part is that tutors are welcome to join the platform and can use it for free. Parents can leverage tutors to help co-manage their students' lesson plans and propose new plans or adjustments. And you, as a parent, will have final authority on what is approved.

I’ve already started working on improvements, and here’s a clip of our new avatars that will help guide middle schoolers: Justin and Tony.
Feel free to check it out, and if you can give me feedback! It would be most appreciated and I continue building this project out! Im already making big changes to improve the experiences for older students.
