COME HANG/BUILD WITH
THE CREW
We’re building a safe, moderated online home for creative young people in a fast-changing digital world: level up skills, trick out your virtual studio, and put work in front of people who get it— live showcase, voice, and clubs when you’re on the full map at egg.ac.
01
Become A Creator Today
Jump on and start creating today—explore different digital skills like game dev, animation, 3D, music making, and more!
Like a creative dojo: a wide mix of topics to sample, then go deeper where you spark. Progress is checked in over time, shared with families where it helps, and next steps are suggested so creators know where they’re headed.
02
Grow and connect through your creations
Get some sick load outs and make your egg your own, customise with items you earn from creating!
03
Showcase your creations
Live creative sessions make space to share progress: a group warm-up, discussion, a challenge matched to skill level, and time to showcase what you’re making—so the community sees the effort behind the work.

Our Goal for 2026 - Find 1000 creators to join the community!
Gen Z and niche online communities
78% of Gen Z say they belong to at least one niche online community, and 41% participate in two or more. Highlighting the power of interest-driven connection through creativity and collaboration.
Peer-to-peer creativity matters here too: student-led clubs, groups, and chances to host or share ideas alongside facilitators—interest-driven connection, not just top-down lessons.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
If you have any further questions, email us at welcome@eggacademy.co.nz. Want a quick look first? Ask about a short intro when you register—we often run a ~15-minute online hello (with a parent or caregiver present) so newcomers can see how the community works.
What age do you cater for?
10 years and older.
Where do you run the sessions?
Sessions are facilitated online via our web platform — egg.ac — so young people can join from home with a computer and internet.
Can we try it out?
You can absolutely give it a go without any commitments. Register your interest and we will be in touch on how you can join a session to try it out. First 2 weeks free (for now)—no pressure while you find your feet.
When are the sessions?
Our main timings are any day from Monday to Friday, 4:00–6:00pm. Friday afternoon is usually decorated with fun and creative sessions.
How many people in a session?
Groups are kept small. We have a limit of 10 students per facilitator. There are quiet spaces available if students want a break from the interactive elements, so they can create in a quiet space.
How do you cater to different learning styles?
We fully support the creativity that diverse interests bring.
Our digital content with live facilitators allows us to support multiple learning styles. Video tutorials let students learn at their own pace, and live sessions provide time for check-ins so students aren’t getting stuck.
Students work at the skill level that is appropriate for them, as the creative activities give space for personal expression and aptitudes. Students can determine their level of social involvement, so they can participate without feeling pressured. Quiet spaces are available for breaks from interactive elements, and they can communicate directly with a facilitator for help.
How do you moderate the space?
We actively monitor the platform, ensuring all content and language are appropriate.
For privacy reasons we do not allow students to share full names online.
For any behavioural issues, we have a carefully designed behaviour management plan, which we can share on request.
What is the joining process?
1. Register your interest
Register on our website with parent/caregiver details.
2. Student check-in
Join a 15-minute online check-in with Egg Academy staff with a parent/caregiver present. We say hi, learn what the student is interested in, and explain what we do so they can decide if they want to take part.
3. Creative module recommendation
We recommend modules based on what we discover in the check-in and parent communications.
4. Start when you are ready
Students begin 4:00–6:00pm on a weekday of their choice.
What device do I need?
Our online sessions need a computer or laptop, mouse, microphone, headphones (to cut echo and keep focus), and a stable internet connection. Chromebooks are OK for our starter and most intermediate courses.
Computer requirements
- ChromeOS / Windows 10 or 11 / macOS
- 2.0 GHz processor
- 4GB RAM
- A graphics card with at least 1GB of dedicated or shared video RAM
We check technology before sessions begin during the student check-in, so you don’t need to worry if you are not sure.
What is the cost?
Membership is $30 monthly. That includes access to real-time interactions and the full experience of the community. You can try out the community membership 2 weeks free.
What if I can’t attend a session this week?
We have multiple timeslots available, so you are welcome to swap times. Educational content is available via video so students can catch up in their own time. They can seek help outside of session through live communications.
What is the commitment factor?
The commitment is a weekly 1h45 session (but you are welcome to attend more at no extra cost). Parents need to ensure their child has the required technology to join sessions.
Which countries can I join from?
Right now we are summoning creators from all across New Zealand — soon, all over planet Earth.
CREATORS IN. YOU IN?
