A 360 Approach to Financial Literacy Education

Description:

Financial Literacy is a critical life skill missing in K-12 education around the world. Cha-Ching, our flagship financial literacy program for students across Asia & Africa will help close the gap with a new game, Cha-Ching Money Adventures. Students learn key money concepts of Earn, Save, Spend and Donate via compelling narratives and characters. In our talk, we discuss the complex creative, educational and technical considerations to create a game experience with tangible educational outcomes.
