AYLUS San Diego Committee kicked off the Beast Academy online class in 2020 during the COVID-19 period. During 2024-2025, we continue cooperating with Libraries of Love to raise funds. The 24th Beast Academy online class in 2024-2025 was on December 2-8, 2024.
Beast Academy is a mathematics program for elementary and middle school students, and highly qualified high school volunteers will be teaching the Beast Academy curriculum. Currently at the San Diego Branch, enough students have signed up for this course for it to be offered in five levels: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Through tutoring sessions hosted virtually over Zoom, our volunteers teach students numerous informative mathematical concepts that help to bolster problem-solving skills and improve their mathematical knowledge.
The distinguishing factor of this activity is that in the Beast Academy program, all participants are in this for a great cause. All proceeds from the tutoring sessions will go to support the Libraries of Love, a project to build libraries for K-8 kids in Africa and provide books to them. Through this activity, our volunteers strive to create a positive impact on the world using their own abilities; with their hard work and support, we all see the light at the end of the tunnel.
8 students attended the Beast Academy Activity on December 2-8, 2024. Overall, there were 16 participants in the program.
