FirstRoot 0.0.27

FirstRoot is a pioneering platform dedicated to fostering collaborative financial decision-making within educational settings. The FirstRoot app empowers students to collectively invest real funds in self-initiated projects, facilitating a hands-on learning experience. The platform operates in the following manner:

1. A school or educator registers and establishes a budget allocation.
2. Students formulate investment proposals for school-related ventures.
3. Through the process, students engage with financial concepts and refine their proposals.
4. Peers within the class participate in a voting system to evaluate the proposals.
5. Ultimately, the winning proposals are realized within the school environment.

Embodying the principles of Participatory Budgeting, an internationally recognized method of democratic financial decision-making supported by entities like the United Nations, FirstRoot’s app offers students a practical space to engage in critical financial education and community-oriented initiatives.
