  The Future Is Now

Inspiration

Financial literacy is a missing skill for many young people, especially in Jamaica. Traditional classrooms rarely go beyond basic math, leaving students unprepared to manage real-world finances. We wanted to build a tool that makes financial education engaging, accessible, and fun — combining AI tutoring, interactive quizzes, and games into one platform.

What it does

FinEd-Agent ($mart Kids) is a web app that helps students build financial literacy and numeracy.

• Students can take lessons and complete quizzes.

• An AI-powered chatbot explains answers and offers personalized guidance.

• Games like Budget Builder and Profit Puzzle make learning feel like play.

• Teachers can create classes, assign lessons, and track student progress.

How we built it

Frontend: Streamlit for the student and teacher web interface.

Backend: FastAPI services coordinating LangGraph multi-agent workflows.

Database: TiDB Serverless Cloud for lesson content, quizzes, and class data.

Vector Search: SentenceTransformer embeddings + TiDB vector indexing power retrieval-augmented generation for the chatbot.

AI Models: Hugging Face + Tiny Llama for quiz generation, explanations, and tutoring.

What's next for FinEd-Agent

We’re just getting started. Next steps include:

• Adding more specialized agents to guide different aspects of financial learning.

• Expanding gamification with richer games and streak-based motivation.

• Enhancing accessibility with audio narration and activity-based modules.

• Scaling beyond Jamaica to make financial literacy available to students worldwide.
