In a world where financial literacy is important yet often overlooked, I set out to solve a problem: how do we teach young children about money in a way that's both engaging and effective?

Let's face it: teaching kids about money is about as easy as getting them to eat vegetables: it's nowhere near fun, it's boring. Abstract concepts, short attention spans, and, let's be honest, a less-than-thrilling subject matter. I needed a solution that would:

Leverage children's love for games and rewards.

Cater to visual learners.

Accommodate limited reading skills.

Involve parents in the learning process.

Provide parents with tools to teach and monitor financial habits.

Capture short attention spans.

I designed a digital garden where financial literacy blossoms, with interfaces for both children and parents. The app concept transforms saving money into a delightful gardening experience.

For a child to use Garden, a parent/guardian would create an account they would use for monitoring their child.

Afterward, they can add their children to the app by creating a personalized username and password that the children will then use to log in on their own.

Got a cool Mobile App Project or want to know more about the Garden App?
