The Company
WingaDoos is an interactive financial literacy journey that builds strong money habits in early elementary children K- 2nd grade through engaging video based storytelling and thoughtful lesson plans.
The Challenge
WingaDoos was poised to make the leap from concept to classroom, in need of educator insight and execution to bring their brilliant content, created by Emmy-award winning children’s TV producers, to meaningful life in the classroom context.
