Thinking Money: A Traveling Exhibition to U.S. Public Libraries
91´«Ã½
Money affects all Americans, but many of us lack the knowledge we need to make smart financial choices that will prepare us for whatever the future brings. Thinking Money strived to teach tweens, teens and their parents, caregivers and educators about financial literacy topics—like saving, spending and avoiding fraud—in a way that is not only understandable, but fun.
Thinking Money was a museum-quality traveling exhibition that traveled to 50 U.S. public libraries between 2016 and 2018. Through an adventure-themed storyline, interactive iPad content and other fun, hands-on activities, the exhibition explored the following themes:
- Wants vs. needs
- Earning and paying interest
- Preparing for rainy/sunny day
- Imagining your future self
- Avoiding financial fraud
- Thinking money
Thinking Money was created by the FINRA Investor Education Foundation in partnership with the 91´«Ã½ (91´«Ã½) Public Programs Office.
