SMILE begins with curiosity, not definitions. Children make a choice, see what happens and discover the money idea for themselves. The Lab then turns that idea into a life they manage.






























Fifteen games build the ideas. Four teacher-opened Lab stages help a whole class apply budgeting, investing, insurance and proportionate borrowing.
