Summary

Alli Kennedy, a University of Canterbury graduate, created Sharenanigans, a board game designed to teach children aged nine and up about investing and the share market. Inspired by the lack of accessible investment knowledge in New Zealand, Kennedy initially developed an app to introduce basic investment principles. However, after joining the UC Centre of Entrepreneurship’s Summer Start-Up Programme, she redefined her approach and pivoted to a board game. Sharenanigans aims to foster financial literacy, break down barriers, and bridge the generational knowledge gap, empowering players to make informed investment decisions and spark interest in financial literacy from an early age.
