SAN DIEGO, CA (April 10, 2026) — Beast Academy Online, the elementary math platform from Art of Problem Solving (AoPS), has been named the Best Math Solution at the 2026 EdTech Awards, presented by EdTech Digest. The annual program, now in its 16th year, recognizes outstanding products and leaders across K-12, higher education, and the workforce learning sector.

Beast Academy Online serves more than 50,000 students ages 6–13, offering 20,000+ problems across 1,000+ lessons, covering not just core math skills, but the deeper mathematical concepts that most programs skip: logic, combinatorics, probability, and reasoning. These are the foundations of computational thinking, data literacy, and problem-solving.

What sets Beast Academy apart is its format: students learn alongside a cast of comic-book characters — Winnie, Alex, Grogg, and Lizzie — who model different problem-solving styles and work through challenges together. The approach is designed to show students that struggle is part of math, not a sign that they're doing it wrong.

“Beast Academy exists to teach kids how to approach new problems, not just follow steps," said Anju Khetan, VP of Beast Academy.  “We’re very proud to be recognized for that.” 

"Congratulations to The EdTech Awards 2026 finalists and winners! We're no longer asking if technology will transform learning — it already has. The leaders honored here are defining what comes next," said Victor Rivero, Editor-in-Chief of EdTech Digest, who oversees the program.

The EdTech Awards were established in 2010 and recognize finalists and winners based on pedagogical workability, efficacy and results, support, clarity, value, and potential.
