Where Money Flows Like Magma
A physical-digital hybrid financial education tool where colorful thermal beads representing money categories heat up, glow, and physically flow between accounts on magnetic tracks. Kids drag their 'magma beads' between income, savings, and spending columns while the system visualizes compound interest as beads multiplying and heating up over time.
A 10-year-old drags a single orange allowance bead into the savings column and watches it pulse brighter, split into two glowing beads, then four — physically feeling compound interest as warmth spreading through their fingertips while their entire family's financial flows dance together in a lava lamp-like display on the kitchen wall.
