Hello, I am Cecilia Valente, the founder of OoberKidsRepublic and the person behind Money Factor - A Kid's Guide to Money & Finance.
So far hundreds of children aged 5-11 have taken Money Factor classes, using OoberKidsRepublic to consolidate what we have learnt in class.
My mission is to empower children to make the right decisions about their money and resources with ease and confidence.
I like to tell my pupils that there is a 'MY' in the word 'Economy' and an 'I' in the word 'Finance'. My point is that money is part of everyone's life.
I encourage a fun learning experience and I engage my pupils with
- 'drama breaks'
- props & costumes
- animation-making
to introduce concepts such as markets, the economy, the beginning of coinage, spending, saving and investing.
Our educational adventures start in the classroom (or after school clubs) and continue through the quizzes, surveys and videos in the 'Learning' section of this website.
The more kids practice, the higher they score. The most diligent pupils win prizes and the right to be my 'assistant dearest' in the following class.
