FutureKin teaches money, online safety, and AI literacy through short animated missions — and the reward only unlocks when your child actually understands it. Not when they tap through.
These aren't videos or screenshots — they're the actual missions, start to finish. No signup, no download. Hand your phone to your kid and watch what happens.
A two-minute counting game made to be played together, not handed over. No reading, no scoring, nothing to fail. We are testing whether there is demand for a toddler tier at all.
Kinny hides under a blanket, behind a door and in moving boxes. Find him, then it's your turn to hide.
Hear what each animal says, match the sound to the animal, then say their names out loud together.
Circles, squares and triangles. Find them, match them, and count them. Six little games with nothing to get wrong.
Sharing cookies and apples one at a time, spotting which pile has more, and giving one away. The first money idea a toddler can hold.
A first money lesson for children who can't read yet. Kinny reads every word aloud. Your child counts coins, watches a savings jar fill up over three days, then picks what they can afford.
The second money lesson. Your child sorts everyday things into needs and wants, then makes real choices with a small number of coins. Narrated throughout, no reading required.
Fill a jar a coin at a time, then watch it save the day when Kinny's bike tire pops. The first lesson in saving for when things break.
Money does not appear by itself. Your child meets a baker, a driver and a vet, then works out who is earning and why.
Someone you don't know asks a question. A game says keep a secret. Something feels funny inside. The answer is the same every time, on purpose.
Kinny teaches three warning signs, then your child judges three real messages — the kind that actually show up in games and group chats. Get it right and the reward unlocks. Rush it and it doesn't.
When an app says free, somebody is still paying. Your child learns the three ways that happens, then sorts real-looking apps into which kind they are.
Three real jobs with real numbers. Your child works out why one pays eight times another, and lands on the answer almost nobody explains: pay follows how few people can do the work.
You borrowed $50 and paid back $50. So why do you still owe money? Learn what borrowing really costs, the minimum-payment trap, and how to spot a good deal from a bad one.
Three dollars a week, four weeks, twelve dollars. Fill the jar and work out when waiting actually gets you what you want, and when it doesn't.
It says spiders have six legs in exactly the same confident voice it uses for true things. Learn when to check, and when checking doesn't matter.
Online games are full of people to talk to. Most are just there to play. Learn the three warning signs that someone wants something from you, and the one rule that keeps you safe.
You drew it, you posted it. Read the four lines of terms you agreed to without reading, in plain English, and find out what you actually gave away.
What an AI is actually doing when it answers. Your teen predicts the next word themselves, then learns why a confident answer and a correct answer are not the same thing — and how to tell.
Compound interest working for you and against you. Your teen moves the sliders and watches savings grow next to a debt at the same rate, then reads three real situations.
What a share actually is, why spreading beats conviction, and why a chart that went up last year tells you almost nothing. Names no app, no company, no recommendation.
You agreed to $15 an hour and worked twenty hours. Tap the payslip and watch $300 become $236.55, one deduction at a time.
Three jars, one hundred dollars, and no correct answer. Decide before the money is gone, then defend the split you chose.
Train a pretend feed and watch it learn from every tap. Then find out what it counts, why, and how to steer it.
What you see: what your child understood, how long they spent, and what unlocks. You approve every reward. Nothing moves without you.
Most families already pay their kids something — allowance, chores, screen time. FutureKin attaches that to understanding instead of compliance.
Choose what a completed lesson is worth — or set it to zero. The lessons and the understanding check work exactly the same either way. Plenty of families run it with no reward at all.
Three to seven minutes, animated, guided by Kinny. Short enough for one sitting, on subjects most curricula skip entirely.
Not a quiz at the end — decisions inside the story. A child who taps through without engaging doesn't pass, and can retry as many times as they like with no penalty.
You see the score, the time spent, and what was covered. Nothing reaches your child's balance until you say yes.
FutureKin covers money, digital safety, AI literacy, ownership, coding, and creator economics. We teach how these things work. We don't teach values — that's your family's job, and we've built the curriculum to stay out of it.
Every mission your child completes is logged — date, subject, score, time on task, and the standards it covers. At the end of a term you can print the whole thing.
Lessons completed, instructional hours, and comprehension scores in one document. PDF or CSV, whenever you want it.
If your state uses an evaluator or reviewer, they need to see what your child actually did. This gives them a clear year at a glance.
Financial lessons map to the 2021 National Standards for Personal Financial Education from the Council for Economic Education and Jump$tart. Digital citizenship maps to ISTE. See the full scope & sequence →
Homeschool reporting requirements vary a great deal by state — some accept portfolios, some require standardized testing, some require an evaluator's letter. FutureKin produces a thorough record of what your child learned, but it doesn't replace your state's specific requirement. Check with your local school division or state department of education for what your family needs to submit. We'd rather tell you that up front than have you find out in August.
Core lessons in every subject, the understanding check, savings jars, and the full safety section cost nothing. You upgrade when you add a second child or want the full library.
Public, private, homeschool, hybrid. FutureKin covers subjects most schools don't reach until eleventh grade, if at all — and it doesn't assume anything about how your child is educated otherwise.
Site licensing for co-ops and microschools, with roster management, assignment, and comprehension reporting across all your learners. Points-only mode available — no wallet, no rewards.
If you teach it, you can build it. Author into our animated lesson template and earn on every completion — from your learners and from every other family who uses it.
Thirty states now require a standalone personal finance course to graduate — usually one semester, usually eleventh or twelfth grade. By then habits are formed. FutureKin starts at five.
Per-classroom licensing, points only, no financial component for students. Roster, assignment, comprehension reports, and standards exports for your records.
We teach how money, technology, and online safety work. We don't teach what to believe about them. Families and congregations handle that, and the curriculum is built to leave that space open.
Youth groups, after-school programs, and church-based co-ops can run FutureKin in points-only mode with no financial component at all.
Only if you want us to. You set the reward, and zero is a perfectly normal setting — the lessons and the understanding check work identically either way. Most families who use rewards are redirecting allowance they already give, and attaching it to comprehension rather than chores.
It's a fair concern and the research is genuinely mixed. The risk is highest for things a child already enjoys — and no child spontaneously seeks out scam-recognition practice. The reward gets them in the door; the animation and the story are what bring them back. If you'd rather skip rewards entirely, set them to zero and nothing else changes.
Children earn Kin Coins — learning points in a balance you control, not currency. On the teen tier only, parents can optionally choose a supervised alternative, and it's off by default. Whatever you choose, the balance sits in your wallet and every release passes through your approval. Your child never holds or transacts anything independently.
Verifiable parental consent, minimal collection, no advertising, and no selling of data. Kid-facing screens have no open chat, no outside links, and no real-money display.
Yes — that's what the Littles tier is for. Kinny reads every word aloud, all choices are pictures, and the buttons are sized for small hands. A five-year-old can finish a lesson without you sitting next to them. Try Kinny's Coin Jar above and see.
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. What you can play here is real and working. The full platform is in active development, and the pilot is how we build the rest with families rather than at them.
We're looking for families, co-ops, and schools to use FutureKin for a term and tell us what's wrong with it. Pilot participants get full access at no cost and direct input on what gets built next.
