Summary
In Singapore, interactive booths by Eyeyah! at the POSB Your Neighbourhood Carnival taught children financial literacy, focusing on topics like scam prevention, password security, and digital safety. The event featured VR games, budgeting challenges, and financial workshops. Thirteen-year-old Chiong Tze Yu found the games helpful in learning how to manage money and identify scams. Minister K. Shanmugam emphasized the importance of financial literacy in protecting against scams, as cases rise in Singapore. The gamified learning experience also engaged younger children through fun, interactive elements. These booths will be featured in schools and libraries throughout 2024.
