🌟 Inspiration

Education in Hong Kong is expensive—and it’s reshaping society. In 2023, Hong Kong recorded 0.77 births per woman (global average: 2.2).

HK$100,000/year is spent per child on private tutoring, sometimes 15–20% of household income.

Digital learning tools are unbalanced: 40% focus on English, while Math & Chinese <15%.

Space Academy tackles both challenges by providing personalized tutoring at scale, making learning fun, affordable, and sustainable. Math is just the beginning—Chinese Quests and other subjects are coming soon!
