The Big Bank
Exhibit Overview
The Big Bank exhibit can provide your visitors with important hands-on learning opportunities focused on financial literacy. Children can role-play as the bank teller, manager, loan officer or customer as they explore activities that highlight earning, saving, spending and philanthropy. The Big Bank teaches basic math and problem-solving skills and helps kids become money smart.
