var averages = [];
let sum=0;
//write your code here
for (grades in students) {
for (i=0;students[grades].length;i++) {

Hi! The input variable students is an array, where each element is an Object. You’ve used the for...in loop on students, which will return the index of each element, i.e. 0,1,2,... rather than access the grades property of every student.
In the next loop, your condition students[grades].length is incorrect as you missed any comparison operators.
The line sum += i is incorrect since it will add the indexes of each grade rather than the actual grade value.
Finally, the average must be calculated after the inner loop finishes running.
