How is Banzai Free?
Banzai is available for free with the help of local financial leaders in your community—like banks and credit unions. Because a local sponsor cares about your students’ future financial security, they cover the cost of Banzai (the online software and Library and printed booklets) for you and your students.
-
How long does it take to complete each Course?
Each course is shorter than a school term but longer than the average class session. The three main Banzai Courses (Junior, Teen, and Plus) take roughly 3-6 hours for students to finish while others, like Digital Citizenship, take about 1-2 hours to complete.
-
Is Banzai a substitute for my curriculum?
No, the great thing about Banzai is that it supplements what you already do in your classroom. Banzai is designed to be flexible. Your students can work through every course or just one. They can use the booklets before, after, or during the accompanying course. You can even pick and choose parts of the product that work best for your class while leaving out the rest!
-
What is a sponsor?
A sponsor is a local financial institution, like a bank or credit union, that provides Banzai for teachers and students to use at no cost. But even more than that, a sponsor is your partner in student education. Sponsors are passionate about financial education and want to be involved; you can help by requesting in-person or online presentations or classroom visits.
