Idea Description

By introducing financial & economic concepts to children in simple, FUN & engaging ways that they can relate to, I hope to empower them to grow up with the ability to make confident & informed financial choices. Schools teach children many important life skills, however often skip basic finance & economic concepts, which are skills that everyone needs as adults! Too many people are intimidated by finance and economic concepts because they can seem so complex, so they grow up to make poor financial choices. I'd like to give everyone the chance to take control of their financial future!

What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?

- Incorporate & begin developing company website.
- Complete development of financial & economic lessons & games, with adjustments made to incorporate feedback gathered from teachers & children.
- Work to find affiliations / partnerships with companies and/or schools that would help us reach as many children & young adults as possible.
