Financial Challenge
Description
This project is a personal challenge that combines two of my passions: Finance and Programming. The goal is to create a product that has a real impact and benefits Latin American society. The lack of financial education is a deep-rooted issue in our culture, largely due to disinterest and lack of motivation. Money remains a taboo topic in our society, and financial concepts are rarely taught from childhood. In recent years, I have conducted courses, workshops, and talks to address this problem. I decided to take it a step further and designed a game aimed at teaching basic financial concepts to children, hoping to spark their interest and encourage a quest for more knowledge.
It was a real challenge, not only because of the process of ideation, design, and concept selection, but also because I learned C#, the programming language on which the game is based, from scratch in these days. This is the first game I've designed, and the goal is for it to be usable and accessible to anyone who needs it.
