EconoKidz
2024-11-16 , Bitcoin Para Ninos

This session introduces EconoKidz.com, an animated course for kids introducing them to crucial economic concepts, money and, of course, Bitcoin. EconoKidz is an ideal supplement to any homeschool or institutional school curriculum, in which these topics are typically ignored despite the profound influence of money in shaping historical and contemporary events and society.

The session is aimed at kids, parents, teachers, or anyone interested in learning more about this fascinating topic. We will begin with a streaming of the first two lessons followed by a competition.

EconoKidz was created by Ian Foster and narrated by two of his sons, Theodore (10) and Max (8), collectively known as The TedMax. When the banks were bailed out in 2008 followed by endless money printing and interest rate manipulation ever since, Ian realised that even those in his own profession – an accountant with a degree in economics – were blind to the problem. So he set about creating EconoKidz to help children around the world have sufficient understanding of economics and money to avoid falling into the fiat and CBDC trap.

For the past ten years, Ian has lived in Malawi, Southern Africa, where he founded a company to help startups and small businesses strengthen their financial management and raise capital. He has been an advocate for bitcoin adoption in the country since 2014 and continues to support grassroots adoption and education through @BitcoinBoma.
