Adam Hano, Birdwingo’s co-founder said: “Birdwingo addresses the gap in financial education, which schools often inadequately cover, and is sometimes left to questionable financial influencers or scammers online. We step in to enable teenagers to actively invest under full parental supervision, combining high-quality theoretical knowledge with real-world practice.”
Similar to the well-known language learning programme Duolingo, Birdwingo has created a gamified learning environment. Under the careful supervision of parents, this captivating academy teaches fundamental financial skills like budgeting, investing, and scam awareness through interactive lectures and real-life investment scenarios.
Additionally, with its "learn to earn" function, Birdwingo pays teenagers with cash for learning. The academy was developed by alums of prestigious business institutions, such as the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, and has been put to the test at European high schools.
Data from the platform's beta testing phase indicate encouraging outcomes: 84% of parents think their children's financial literacy has much improved, 94% of teenagers who completed the Academy reported feeling more confident about handling their money, and 79% began saving and investing for the long run.
