What is Fintr4Schools?
Fintr4Schools is an educational platform designed to teach financial literacy to students using game-based learning. The platform offers a fun and interactive way for children, particularly in the 13-18 age range, to learn essential money management skills. By incorporating superhero narratives and gamified content, Fintr4Schools helps students build positive financial behaviours through practical financial exercises, rewards systems, and peer competition.
In Fintr4Schools, financial concepts are taught using superhero-like narratives to make learning engaging and relatable for students. One example is the villain Saverstrain, who represents the challenge of not saving money. Saverstrain is the antagonist that prevents learners from developing good savings habits.
To defeat Saverstrain, students must unlock the superpower of saving. This superpower helps them understand and practice the importance of putting aside money for future needs, thus empowering them to overcome financial obstacles and build wealth over time. By integrating these creative narratives, Fintr4Schools ensures that students can internalize and apply critical financial behaviours in a fun, gamified environment.
Fintr4Schools also aligns with school curricula and supports foundational literacy and numeracy skills, providing both digital and physical learning tools like the FinMaster board game, ensuring financial education even in environments without internet access.
