System and apparatus for financial education, entrepreneurship education and life management

摘要

Developing financial literacy is crucial for developing good financial habits, yet financial literacy is rarely taught in the educational system. It can be especially difficult to present such subjects to younger children, who may not find the subject matter entertaining. Accordingly, disclosed herein is provided an apparatus for financial education, entrepreneurship education and life management. The apparatus comprises: a housing; at least one storage compartment received within the housing and including an interior cavity; a coin acceptor assembly adapted to receive a coin, determine the denomination of the coin, and deposit the coin into the storage compartment; electronic circuitry communicatively coupled to the coin acceptor assembly; a display device communicatively coupled to the electronic circuitry; at least one input device communicatively coupled to the electronic circuitry; wherein the electronic circuitry includes at least one nontransitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions and a processor adapted to execute the instructions, wherein the instructions are adapted to display a graphic interface on the display device, and to receive input from a user via the at least one input device, so as to allow the user to manage a user account, the user account including a monetary balance.
