What Is Bitcoin? Crypto Explained for Kids in One Class
A single class for ages 10 to 14 that answers the questions kids actually ask about Bitcoin. Children learn what it is, who keeps track of it and why adults argue about it.
Class Experience
The teacher starts with a quick game where the class keeps a shared record of pretend coins, which shows the idea behind a blockchain. Children then look at a real Bitcoin price chart, compare it with a savings account and finish by listing three warning signs of a scam.
How classes work
This is a single 50-minute live class with up to 5 learners. The teacher demonstrates, learners take part, and everyone shares at the end.
