About ClassCents
Born from a passion for education and a belief that learning should be engaging, ClassCents transforms traditional classrooms into dynamic economies where students develop real-world financial literacy while having fun.
My Story
Hi, I'm Josh, a teacher and father who's also a hobbyist software developer. I believe technology can make learning more engaging and meaningful. ClassCents started as a simple idea: what if we could teach financial literacy while making classroom management more fun?
After experiencing firsthand how teachers struggle with motivation and engagement, I realized that gamification could be the key. But not just any gamification - one that teaches real skills like budgeting, saving, and making smart financial decisions.
ClassCents is my way of giving back to the education community, providing teachers with a tool that not only manages their classroom but also prepares students for financial success in the real world.
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
- Nelson Mandela
This quote drives everything we do at ClassCents - empowering educators to change the world, one classroom at a time.
