Money confidence built for curious kids and teens.
prism-tunnel helps families and schools turn everyday money moments into skills for life. We blend hands-on workshops with local Edinburgh scenarios, from pocket money planning to teen budgeting for college trips.

Why Edinburgh families asked for this
Parents told us that school lessons skip the practical stuff: saving for a sports trip, splitting costs with friends, or spotting a too-good-to-be-true offer. We designed sessions that feel like real life, not a textbook.
Meet the educators behind the programmeWorkshops that feel like missions
Learners move through short missions: price a concert ticket, build a weekly budget, or negotiate for a group trip. Each mission ends with a take-home challenge for families.
Money basics for ages 9-11
Needs vs wants, saving jars, and smart spending prompts.
Confidence for ages 12-14
Budgeting for outings, digital payments, and goal planning.
Real-life prep for ages 15-17
Bank accounts, part-time pay, and cost-of-living decisions.
Trust built with educators and families
Lessons are written by former Edinburgh teachers and youth mentors. Every cohort receives a pre-brief for parents plus a follow-up guide.

Families say the change is immediate
“My 13-year-old built a shopping list and stuck to it. We talked about prices at the supermarket without the usual tension.”
— Priya, Leith“The teen workshop made bank accounts feel normal, not scary. He now tracks his weekend job pay in a notebook.”
— Tom, Bruntsfield“The homework prompts were fun. We used them before our family trip and the kids actually enjoyed budgeting.”
