Money choices start early, but the hype rarely tells the whole story. These decisions often involve uncertainty and incomplete information, which can sometimes trigger impulsive moves.

MONEY POWER P.L.A.Y. is a financial decision-making framework that helps students ask better questions, look beyond obvious choices, and weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.

Students practice the process through story-based financial challenges that explore peer and media influence, digital spending traps, scam awareness, buying now or later, and earning money.

The power of entrepreneurship is having the ability to create and communicate ideas and product concepts that solve problems.

Inside the lab, students select problem challenges and practice questioning techniques to unlock new perspectives.

They use design thinking to brainstorm solutions, team up with AI tools to create prototypes, and pitch how their idea solves a problem.
   

Middle school schedules vary, so Money Power Playbook adapts to fit different time blocks. Teachers can run 20-minute Money Power Moves challenges during Financial Education or Economics classes. For extended block schedules, teachers can run the 90-minute Entrepreneur Power Lab.

Parents increasingly expect youth community organizations to provide financial education for their children. Money Power Playbook offers flexible, ready-to-use programs that help these organizations fulfill their financial literacy commitment to youth.

Money Power Playbook turns financial decision-making into a team sport. Our Money Power Moves mini-challenges are designed to fit inside a practice arrival gap, a water break, or a post-game huddle. Coaches or Parent Volunteers can run these 20-minute challenges from their phones or tablets with zero prep.
