NEW YORK, Oct. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- inherQuests, a
New York-based start-up company
founded by Dina Shoman, launched its
Kickstarter campaign Wednesday, October 10,
2018. By reaching its funding goal of $20,000 on Kickstarter, inherQuests will produce
the first six boxes in its Financial Fun Box series and continue
designing the remaining boxes. inherQuests' Financial Fun Box aims
to help parents tackle difficult conversations about money to help
better prepare their children for the financial challenges of life.
Shoman's mission is to teach girls confidence in their math
and financial skills with exciting and interactive games.
Each Financial Fun Box will cover specific learning goals with
Quests, including physical activities, creative projects, stories,
pretend play, game boards, card-based games, artistic activities,
real-life experiences, and more. With QuestGirls by their side,
kids will learn age-appropriate financial concepts through
play-based education that utilizes the experiential learning model:
do, reflect, and apply to real life.
Using the National Financial Educators' Council (NFEC) Financial
Literacy Framework and Standards, the curriculum was designed by
leading experts in banking, education, child development, toy
design, writing, and content creation. Kids, aged 5-9 years of age,
will learn concepts, such as the difference between needs and
wants, how to set and achieve goals, how to recognize, count, and
use different denominations of bills and coins, why saving matters,
and the importance of giving to others.
Within the first week of its Kickstarter launch, inherQuests
reached over 75% of its funding goal. Contributions will
continue to be accepted through November
8, 2018. Once the Kickstarter goal has been reached,
inherQuests will produce: Wants and Needs (Level 1), Wants and
Needs (Level 2), Introduction to Money, Numbers & Counting,
Lifestyles & Money Attitudes, and Setting & Achieving
Goals. More information can be found at:

About inherQuests
inherQuests was founded by Dina
Shoman, daughter of one of the Arab world's most prominent
banking families. Shoman recalls being "bored to tears" by the
subject of finance as a young girl. However, her interest
eventually grew, and she went on to earn a finance degree and MBA
from Bentley University. Shoman became the youngest and only female
Executive Vice President in the history of Arab Bank, acting as a
board member of multiple banks and nonprofit organizations. Later,
she went on to start inherQuests with a mission to help girls build
strong financial literacy in a fun, exciting way. inherQuests'
Financial Fun Box presents a game-based, interactive experience
aimed at teaching children the value of money.
