Is Egg Academy a good fit for your teen?
Egg Academy is a live online creative community for NZ teens 10+ -- weekday sessions, real facilitators, and a moderated peer community.
Egg Academy is a live online creative community for NZ teens aged 10+. Weekday sessions run Mon-Fri, 4-6pm, from home -- animation, game design, art, music, video, and more, with real facilitators and a moderated peer community. Most teens here are everyday creative kids who want to make cool stuff with other makers. If you are researching whether Egg fits your teen, use the guides below, then book a free check-in or register for a call.
Who runs live sessions?
Every weekday session is facilitated live by Kane or Juniper -- not pre-recorded videos alone. Groups are approximately 10 teens per session, moderated, and project-focused.
Kane Stewart
Session facilitator · NZ High School Teacher
After working at video game studio Cerebral Fix, Kane became a qualified high school teacher at Haeata Community Campus and Ao Tawhiti Unlimited. He saw how much young people light up when they are making something real -- and how often school does not give them room for that. At Egg he runs live sessions, sets creative tasks, and helps teens finish projects they are proud to share.
Juniper Taylor
Session facilitator · Creative industry
Juniper studied music production, then worked in design and software development -- and he has been building games since he was 11. He came alive when he was making something, not when he was performing in a classroom. That is the energy he brings to sessions: meeting teens through their projects first, not forced small talk. He is naturally good at drawing quiet or cautious creators into the room at their own pace.

These match the guides on our Learn hub quiz -- open the one that fits, then come back here when you are ready to talk.
- Safety and trust first Moderation, supervision, and what parents ask us.
- Anxious or hard to start Low-pressure preview, optional camera, gentle onboarding.
- School is not clicking Interest-led creative time with structure and peers.
- Rural, homeschool, or screen time No weekly travel; positive creative time online.
- Digital art, animation, or senior pathway Years 11, 12, and 13 -- Egg-Xplore, community, and why Egg before tertiary.
- School is slow on digital creative Why school lags, why Egg started, and how Egg fills weekday afternoons.
- Before tertiary -- start now Why 18+ courses under-serve early-passion teens, and what Egg does first.
- How we see skill level No placement test -- challenges show skill, then foundation or more freedom.
What happens in a session?
Weekday sessions follow a predictable rhythm: gathering, icebreaker, community brief, creative time, showcase, and wrap-up. Every step is designed to reassure new creators and onboard them smoothly -- including kids who find social moments hard. Teens can participate through chat, voice when they are ready, and project work; camera is optional. New creators start with other new creators. Facilitators support every step. Full minute-by-minute detail -- and the 10-week app table -- is on how an Egg Academy session works.
