Broadmind Inc. Launches Financial Education Program for Elementary Students

In a groundbreaking initiative aimed at promoting financial literacy among young people, Broadmind Inc. recently conducted a unique financial and career education game for 94 sixth graders at Sakainene Elementary School in Kashiwa on November 20, 2025. This engaging program, titled "Life Produce: Strategies for Realizing Your Ideal Life," is part of Broadmind's mission to "Unlock the Power of Finance" and supports children in planning their futures.

Since September 2024, Broadmind has been providing this program using a card game that allows students to simulate various life scenarios. To date, over 2,000 students have participated, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Broadmind aims to extend this program further, especially targeting upper elementary, middle, and high school students interested in comprehensive and exploratory learning, career, and financial education.

The Life Produce Program

The Life Produce card game is not merely about accumulating money; instead, it focuses on how to wisely manage limited resources—both time and money—to achieve personal goals. Through immersive gameplay, students explore the importance of planning for their futures while enjoying the educational process.

Feedback from students who participated in the program has been insightful:

• - Many expressed how their experience in the game felt alarmingly real, helping them understand the implications of financial decisions on achieving their dreams.
• - Students revealed that strategic spending of resources is more effective than splurging or saving excessively.
• - Some even mentioned they would like to have the game at home, highlighting its appeal and educational value.

Key Takeaways from Students
Participants offered various reflections on their gameplay and the lessons learned:
1. Game Reflections:
- "This time, I had enough money to fulfill both my friends' hopes! It felt quite real, providing a valuable experience."
- "I learned that spending just the right amount—not too little or too much—works best."
- "I managed to achieve everything I wanted; I want to play again!"
- "I've gained insights into how to balance my money and time effectively."
