Maneboo" is a money learning app that allows children to learn about the money system through work experience at in-app stores and shopping using the in-app currency "Maneboo", just like playing a game. By experiencing the work of real stores around them in the app, children can acquire money knowledge with a greater sense of reality.
Hoping to deliver education that nurtures children's non-cognitive skills for a sustainable society, Access International has been developing "FQKids," a media for the future of early childhood education. Access International has endorsed the efforts of "Maneboo," which promotes financial education and ESD*1 for children as a money learning app, and will open a new "FQKids" store within the app.

FQKids was launched in 2019 as a sister magazine of FQ JAPAN, a child-rearing media for fathers, and is published quarterly four times a year as a "media to nurture non-cognitive abilities" of your child, and distributes information along with its website. This spring, we featured a special issue on "money education," which received a great response in our reader survey and showed a high level of interest. We hope to further expand awareness of FQKids through this new store opening.
As a service that creates opportunities for children to learn about money and society in a fun way and serves as a catalyst for communication between parents and children, "Maneboo" will continue to make further updates and expand the number of companies opening stores.
