💰 Money Explorer
How money and AI actually work — from what money really is to how to spot a scam.
Read this first
Nothing in this track uses real money. No bank accounts, no card numbers, no UPI, no payment apps. Every example is pretend, written on paper or typed into a chat.
A parent is present for every session. Session 7 is about spotting scams and is the most important one here — do not skip it, and come back to it more than once.
Children grow up with money that they never see. It arrives on a phone and leaves on a phone, and the part in between is invisible. This track makes it visible, and then shows where AI sits inside it — reading, checking, deciding, and getting things wrong.
