ScratchJr vs Bankidu

With ScratchJr, young children (ages 5-7) learn important new skills as they program their own interactive stories and games. By snapping together graphical programming blocks, children can make characters move, jump, dance, and sing. In the process, children learn to solve problems, design projects, and express themselves creatively on the computer. They also use math and language in a meaningful and motivating context, supporting the development of early-childhood numeracy and literacy. With ScratchJr, children don’t just learn to code, they code to learn. ScratchJr was inspired by the popular Scratch programming language (http://scratch.mit.edu), used by millions of people (ages 8 and up) around the world. The ScratchJr interface and programming language were redesigned to make them appropriate for younger children’s cognitive, personal, social, and emotional development. ScratchJr is a collaboration between the Lifelong Kindergarten research group at the MIT Media Lab, the Developmental Technologies research group at Tufts University, and the Playful Invention Company. The ScratchJr project has received generous financial support from the National Science Foundation (NSF DRL-1118664), Scratch Foundation, LEGO Foundation, and British Telecommunications. If you enjoy using this free app, please consider making a donation to the Scratch Foundation (www.scratchfoundation.org), a nonprofit organization that provides ongoing support for ScratchJr. We appreciate donations of all sizes, large and small.

Welcome to the world of Bankidu, the first money-management app designed for the whole family! With Bankidu, they’ll not only learn how to manage their money, but you can also assign tasks to your children to help them understand the value of effort and money. Organize household responsibilities and reward your little ones for their work, all while they acquire valuable financial skills. Discover Bankidu's features: - Wallet: Bankidu has a virtual wallet where children can add their purchases and track their expenses. This teaches them to be mindful of the money they spend. - Savings: Bankidu also includes a virtual piggy bank where children can save their money and learn to save for their financial goals. - Goals: Bankidu's goals function like small savings jars for specific financial goals, such as saving for a toy or an outing with friends. - Tasks: In Bankidu, we offer parents the option to assign tasks to their children and reward them with virtual coins or happy faces, depending on parental preferences. When children complete tasks and receive a reward for their work, they learn the value of effort and acquire useful skills for their daily lives. Bankidu uses a virtual currency that is only valid within the app and has no value in the real world. This allows children to learn basic financial skills and foster a sense of responsibility without risking real money.
