This time of year, parents are busy getting back into the routine of packing lunches, helping with homework, and towing kids to and from school. In the hustle and bustle, it’s easy to forget that most schools don’t teach children and teens financial literacy. To help bridge that educational gap DEXSTA offers online courses through Banzai. Find out how Banzai financial literacy courses can prepare different age groups for a successful financial future.

Interactive Courses for Young Kids

The concept of money can be a little too abstract for kids to understand, so Banzai Junior uses the real-world example of starting a lemonade stand to save for a hoverboard. Designed for kids ages 8 to 10, the courses feature fun simulations and storytelling to teach money basics like saving income, unexpected expenses, interest fees, and envelope budgeting. Plus, it addresses the pitfalls of borrowing money and opening their first bank account. 

Additionally, Banzai had helpful tips for parents so you can get guidance on continuing their education at home!

A Safe Space for Teens to Learn

As most adults know, growing up means the financial stakes get higher and more costly. Let your teen experiment with a financial decision in the safe space of Banzai Teen, which was designed for adolescents 13 to 18 years old.

Like Banzai Junior, this course uses a relevant narrative to simulate something grounded in reality: applying for college! While saving for Vanderbilt Community College, they’ll travel through modules that ready them to navigate auto loans, credit cards, taxes, and budgeting. Along the way, unforeseen circumstances will unfold (just like in the real world) so they can practice making tough financial decisions.

Continued Financial Education at Any Age

Adults also benefit from Banzai courses on investing, retirement savings, and improving credit scores. Plus, there are calculators to give you a realistic picture of how far your money can go and helpful articles tackling tricky financial topics. It also makes complex, nuanced subjects, like inflation and stock markets, easy to understand and provides sustainable solutions to common problems.
