[{"id":7434,"project_name":"The Mini Finance Game","customer_problem":"

Young people who don't know basic money saving, parents of kids that need to learn financial literacy, busy families that don’t have time to teach financial literacy.

","our_why":"

Made by kids for kids, Mini Finance is a board game that teaches kids basic financial skills. We’re making finance fun!

","team_members":["Eve","Rose","Pearl","Myrtle"],"problem_statement":"

The problem we have found is that kids don't know much about money. And learning about finances is boring.

How might we make learning about money fun for kids?

","solution":"

Our solution is that we have built a board game that teaches you about finances in a fun way. It teaches kids how to earn money, spend sensibly, save, get insurance, pay bills and respond to unexpected life situations, like accidents and injury.

Parents are busy, so this board game is a screen-free opportunity for kids to learn about finances independently. Likewise, it’s an opportunity for family members to spend time together, learning in a fun way.

This game is unique in that it is made for kids by kids, so we understand what makes things fun and how kids think. Also, unlike Monopoly or Game of Life, this game focuses entirely on financial literacy.

Our mission is to make finances fun. Our vision is that all of Gen Alpha will end up with great financial literacy skills so they can live independently and confidently in a changing world.

The problem we have found through interviewing a range of other young adults, is that teens want to find employment opportunities, but don't know where or how.

Example: Alice, 14, wants to find a part time job but she doesn’t know where to apply or how to do it.

Our audience is:

1.Young people looking for their first job.

2. Employers needing to recruit workers

","our_why":"

How might we provide an accessible resource for young people, that teaches them all about finding a job?

How might we provide an accessible resource for young people, that teaches them all about finding a job?

","solution":"

Our Solution is an app called JobJrny, that includes all things ‘first job’. E.g. store locators, resume templates, information, recommendations and AI generated prompts to equip young people with knowledge for their first job. We want our app to be accessible for young people looking for their first job, but also employers to advertise that they need workers.

The benefits of our app is that it is:

1. Convenient

2. Allows users to upload profile and filter preferences

3. Free for employees (Employers will be charged for listing)

4. Includes an AI generated bot (JrnyBot)

Our customer is mostly Gen Z (Aged 11 - 26)

The problem we have found is that people in our target audience are woke, broke and complicated—and spending money.

The problem needs to be solved because we want to help young adults healthily deal with their finances and be resourceful with their money.

Young generations do not know or understand how to save their money for the future, and may be coerced into buying things they don't need.

Saving is an important habit to get into for several reasons — it helps you cover future expenses, manage financial stress, plan for vacations and more.

_______

There is an increase, especially in the younger generations of over spending or buying things that they don’t need. 49%, of millennials (ages 18 to 35) say social media influenced them to spend money on experiences. Gen Z consumers are more likely to pay a premium for items that are unique and tailored to their interests, according to researchers

GENERATION Z SPENDS AN OUTSIZED PORTION OF THEIR INCOME ON EATING OUT, MOBILE DEVICES, TRANSPORTATION AND HOUSING!

","our_why":"

Making saving fun with friendly competition!

","team_members":["Abbey","Izzy","& Teammates"],"problem_statement":"

How might we make saving a more fun and interactive process, with a competitive edge amongst family and friends?

","solution":"

Our solution is to create an engaging management app which is shared with friends and families. Piggy Heist is a competitive and interactive game that gets families and friends to compete against each other to see who can save the most in a month, without spending money on unnecessary objects like clothing and gadgets. It is an opportunity for young people to learn money skills and self control, while having fun and friendly competition with other people.

Gen Z is facing significant challenges related to student loans and other forms of debt. Effective financial management can help them understand how to manage their debt, make timely payments, and avoid falling into financial traps.

The app engages customers aged 11-26 to compete with friends and family to reach their money saving goals, and also gives educational and informational videos about savings and banking tips!
