Money lessons for primary schools
Piggle's classroom mode lets primary school teachers run money lessons with pretend money. Each student gets their own set of jars, the teacher sets the interest and matching rates for the class, and students see saving, interest and matching work week by week. No real money, no bank and no link to home accounts.
Example class. Names and amounts are made up.

What does Piggle keep about students?
Piggle keeps as little as possible: a first name or nickname, birth year, a picture from Piggle's own set, a PIN stored scrambled, and the student's pretend jars and class activity. There are no photos of students, no ads and no tracking tools.
