Ambitious Minds delivers an innovative, planned programme of financial education in schools across the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
This programme is delivered through Learn About Finance and provides young people with the skills they need to lead happy, successful lives as financially-independent adults.
Our flagship product is Keep the Cash! — a lively classroom simulation designed to give students the experience of what it will be like when they have to manage their own financial affairs and make their own decisions as adults.
Watch Keep the Cash! in action at Malahide Community School, Dublin, in the video below:
A trained Learn About Finance facilitator leads the Keep the Cash! simulation providing an intensive and rewarding day’s learning that is tailored to stimulate, challenge and develop students regardless of their ability.
Keep the Cash! has received a fantastic response from students and teachers alike. It has been described as “educational, aspirational and future proof” by the qualifications provider, Edexcel, and as ”the best thing I’ve seen for improving functional maths skills, collaborative working, communication skills and teaching pupils to analyse and evaluate situations and reflect effectively on their findings” by John Lee, Regional Adviser for Mathematics, Department for Education.
Keep the Cash! also won the People’s Vote at the finals of the Merseyside Innovation Awards 2011.
