Real-World Finance

Banzai exposes your students to lifelike financial scenarios like saving for a goal and dealing with setbacks.

Interactive Courses

You can choose between three courses—Junior, Teen, and Plus—to fit your students' age.

Teach Budgeting
Students learn how to track every income and expense with the double-entry method, which helps them learn financial trade-offs: spending more in one area means spending less in another.

Trial and Error

Your students learn about the unintended consequences of everyday money decisions using nature's best teaching tool: trial and error.

Yep, it's Free

There's no catch! You get premium education software thanks to the generous sponsorship of local banks and credit unions.

Printed Workbooks

With each course—Junior, Teen, or Plus—comes a printed workbook that lets your students take a deeper dive into challenging, age-appropriate activities. Order for free packs of 20 when you sign up!
