Advocation for Academic Competition Subworld
Aarav T
Hello everyone!
A few months ago, a group of community members at Schoolhouse.world realized the importance of academic competitions such as
- AMC
- MATHCOUNTS
- Olympiads (USABO, USNCO, USACO, etc.)
- ISEF
- Quizbowl
- Speech and Debate
The harsh reality of our world is that not everyone is in a position to afford or even attend college. Scholarships and opportunities/recognition for these students would be life-changing, but very few receive them. Unfortunately, the cost of preparing (whether it be resources or study materials) for academic competitions blocks almost all opportunities for lower-to-middle-income students to participate in these competitions and win. As such, the benefits of dedicating a space on Schoolhouse.world for free tutoring to share information about these competitions and how to do well would be invaluable, especially for those in need. If you wish to learn more, read our blog post here: https://schoolhouse.world/blog/the-need-for-an-academic-competition-subworld
Summary:
- Academic competitions provide great opportunities, achievements, and possible scholarships to students around the world
- Preparation for these competitions is costly and harms students’s competitive chances
- Schoolhouse.world is the perfect place for students to come together to provide free tutoring/training/preparation in these subjects to make academic competitions easier and more affordable for everyone

I’m hosting multiple sessions for students on speech and debate, and have been receiving great responses from them. If Schoolhouse promotes this initiative, I’d be more than happy to be a part of it. If you need to contact me ,here is my SHW Profile: https://schoolhouse.world/u/381576. You can also check out the series I am hosting related to Speech and Debate, and you can also be a part of it either as a learner or as a co-host.

Yes!!!!! I would love to both tutor and learn from other tutors for the AMCs (or other STEM competitions), but so far, there is not much room on Schoolhouse to do so!
