Meet the VAVA winners of the 2024 K12 Game On Competition!  

Two of our talented students from Virginia Virtual Academy – a brother and sister duo – were recently recognized as a Judges’ Choice winner and a People’s Choice winner in the 2024 K12 Game On Competition!  

Nicole (Coco) is a 3^rd grade student, who won first place in the 3-5 category and was awarded the Judges’ Choice Award for her game Rhythmic Fractions, which challenges the player to collect, add and subtract fractions. Once you’ve collected correct fractions, a character will play these numbers on a violin. 🎥 Watch her winning game trailer below:

Not only does Coco love math, but she also has a love of reading. According to her mother, Coco always has a book in her hand and is currently turning all the pages on the American Girl book series. 

Her brother, Nathaniel (Nate) is in 1^st grade and won the People’s Choice Award in the K-2 category for his game My Cats Know Math, where cats use balls of yarn to solve addition, subtraction or multiplication problems. 

Nate loves math, science and … cats! So much so, he incorporated both of the family cats in his game. 🎥 Watch his winning game trailer below:

A huge congratulations to Coco and Nate—and to all the incredible students who participated in this year’s competition. Your creativity and hard work continue to inspire!
