Week 6

I have found some really good articles about nz financial literacy in schools


  • The PISA 2012 financial literacy report measured the ability of 15 year olds in nz schools
  • The Commission for Financial Capability contracted the New Zealand Council for Educational Research (NZCER) in 2014 to survey students, teachers and school leaders about financial capability in secondary schools.

Some precedents of whats already out there
  • Anz money minded workshops for adults 
  • CFFC's Sorted in Schools programme reached a major milestone on Monday, March 11, with the release of the first finalised learning package to help grow the financial capability of secondary students.
  • Debt empire app
  • Westpac managing your money tools
  • Asb getwise workshops for primary school
  • WARREN BUFFETT'S SECRET MILLIONAIRES CLUB  WEBISODES
  • The Real Game is a career education resource designed for students in Years 9 and 10. It introduces students to the world of work and helps them develop an understanding of the options and opportunities available to them and the implications and importance of their choices. – careers nz
  • Kiwibank banqer








My design sketch poster:

it is very crowded and not a lot of white space. Lots of heavy text and not many images but at this stage, I think it is okay. 


My feedback from my design sketch poster:
  • 2 pathways I could go down is tools for parents or tools for schools
  • who is the audience?
  • how to survive in a consumer capitalist society -parents have to instill those values
  • parents are like your home they're the emotional side whereas you go to school to learn. different environments for different things
  • sometimes kids hate learning about budgeting and stuff at school whereas a parent teaching you is more fun and they understand what you need to know and there were consequences for overspending with pocket money
  • but learning at school can also be made fun. at the moment its not relatable. 
  • making it real world and relatable would work for both options
  • create a platform that encourages real-world scenarios as real as a teaching moment if it was classroom based. something fun that also relates to exercises at school
  • or if its something simple and incentivized if its one to one parent-kid type thing
  • different age groups view different money values
  • could target it to first-year uni students cause they don't know a lot about money but they need to where as high school kids dont need to know as much.
  • first year is the transition from dependant on parents to when you really need to start using your money wisely. instead of trying to stuff it into school or home life can you do it for uni students. they need it the most, first time you have to pay bills etc
  • money management for tertiary students
  • relatable for those who need it, instilling good values and habits
  • get some good case studies for a few different possible scenarios 
  • test out the different pathways - model it and see what it could look like for either possibility

So after a lot of research on the gender equality topic, I still wasn't feeling the passion and drive necessary for this project. So I started to just research education in general  and I found I'm really interested in how financial literacy and money management skills are not taught in depth at school and how parents have a huge role in their children's financial literacy.  The transition period from financially depending on parents to becoming independent is an important part of being a young adult so I am really interested in exploring how design could facilitate this subject.  I had a light bulb moment and finally felt certain about something. I can see myself exploring this topic for a whole year and I'm ready to commit to it. It still needs narrowing down but this is a great start and a wave of relief has come over me.  Karl suggested I make two ‘piles’ of research. One pile of all you can find about how design can educate. Don't worry about *w...

Still stressed and uncertain about what I should do. I did a little ven diagram to really nail what I could see myself committing to for a year and came up with 4 issues. I then thought it would be a good idea to do a sticky note diagram on the wall so I can mull it over and think about it every time I look. I have the most sticky notes in the gender equality section so I am leaning towards this topic. I needed to brainstorm each of the ideas within the gender equality section and see which one I am most passionate about. I'm most interested in how can communication design challenge the way gender inequality is talked about to encourage communication between young adults. I'll explore this through education and awareness about sexism and female empowerment. this could fit in the education or community category. I brought it up in class today and Karl pointed out a valid opinion that everyone is aware of sexism and gender inequality and it would be more int...
