## What is Squirrel Financial Literacy?

Squirrel is the fun, easy way to get smart about money.

Built for Years 7 to 12, with a full course for every year level — from pocket money and budgeting, to renting vs. buying, car loans, investing, superannuation and crypto. Squirrel gives you the essential money skills school never taught you.

No lectures. No textbooks. Lessons take a couple of minutes and you actually do something in every one: sort the real costs from the fake ones, drag a budget into shape, play out a story and live with your choice, or pull the sliders on a savings goal and watch what compounding does.

Learn through play:
 - Quick, clear lessons that break down tricky money topics
 - Mini-games, quizzes and puzzles that test what you've learned
 - Earn acorns as you go, and keep a daily streak alive

Try your hand at investing (risk-free):
 - Explore our built-in stock market simulator
 - Practise trading Aussie and US stocks with $10,000 in practice money

Keep up with the real world:
 - Weekly and monthly challenges to test yourself against
 - Money stories from the news, explained in a couple of minutes

Whether you're just starting out or saving for something big, Squirrel is your shortcut to money confidence.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 2.0.0 — 2026-08-17

Our biggest update yet — every year level rebuilt from scratch. Years 7 to 12 each have a full course of short lessons written for that year, so the examples and the language actually fit where you are.

Over twenty new ways to learn, instead of just reading and answering:
- Comic-strip stories you make choices in
- Crosswords, word searches and speed rounds
- Drag-and-drop sorting, matching pairs and ordering steps
- Budget builders and life simulators where your choices play out
- Interactive simulators — pull the sliders and watch compounding work

A brand new lesson map. Twenty-two illustrated worlds — jungle, reef, volcano, haunted and more — with your progress marked out along the path.

Start learning straight away. Tap Start Now, pick your year, and you are in the first lesson — no account, no email, nothing to fill in. Make an account later if you want your progress kept safe, and everything you have already done comes with you.

Also new:
- Daily streaks, and a reminder that names your next lesson
- News and updates delivered straight to the app
- Sign in with Apple
- A quicker way in: no sign-up wall and no first-run tour
- A refreshed shop, games and events
- A guide to the stock market simulator, on your first visit and from the help button
- Much faster lesson loading, plus a long list of fixes

### 1.2.1 — 2025-12-20

Added lessons for years 7, 8, 10, 11 and 12. Many usability improvements.
