What this is
Prizes After Class is a small rewards storefront. Students earn points by participating in connected projects, and those points can be redeemed for real prizes here. The intent is simple: give consistent participation somewhere tangible to land.
How points are earned
Points come from activity in sibling projects rather than from this site directly. Subscriber retention and ongoing participation on Runstr generate points over time. Engagement inside Snacks After Class experiences can also contribute. From a student's perspective, the balance simply grows as they stay engaged with the broader ecosystem.
How redemption works
When a student is signed in, their balance is read directly from the shared points ledger. Choosing a prize deducts the corresponding number of points and starts the redemption flow. Redemptions happen in a controlled, server-side step so the ledger stays consistent across the ecosystem.
Why the system exists
The reasoning behind Prizes After Class — why a reward layer exists at all, and what it is trying to reinforce — is described at more length on the Story page. The short version is that consistent participation deserves a consistent signal back, and a small rewards layer is one way to provide that signal without turning learning into a contest.
Where this fits
Prizes After Class is one part of a broader group of projects operating under Education Angel Group. If you're new here, the home page is a good place to see the available prizes, and the Story page explains the reasoning in more depth.
