PC Game "My Dreams and Banks" Produced

JBA has produced the PC game "My Dreams and Banks" (Windows), a tool for learning about economics and finance. The primary target is high-school students who will start working in the near future and it was distributed to 5,500 high schools nationwide as well as to member banks.Students can learn about economics and finance through simulated success stories of four occupations that are popular among high-school students: "cafe owner," "fashion designer," "IT venture executive" and "hair salon owner." Finance-related terms are explained in the game to help students study while being entertained. The respective scenarios are divided into three stages, each lasting about forty minutes, in consideration of the length of our average high-school class.
