Inspiration

Dealing with money is challenge for children. Even if parents teach their kids how to handle money at an early age, cashless payment is, despite the ongoing digitalisation process, often left out. According to studies the earliest age to come in contact with this digital payment world is at the rather late age of 16. This can lead to children having difficulty developing a feeling for digital money.

What it does

The app creates a familiar avatar (inspired by Tamagotchi) kids can relate to. They have to take care of him, and he reacts to the kid's account balance and expenses.

How we built it

Xamarin Frontend and Web API (.NET Core) in the backend. All animations are hand-crafted using Piskel.

Challenges

Tooling evaluation to find the best tool for the hand-crafted animations.

Accomplishments that we're particularly proud of
