Are you a middle school teacher? Take on the challenge and enroll your class in the new digital QUIZ dedicated to the history of money!
AES QUIZ (AES is the Latin word for “money”) is a funny Edu-quiz to make students discover the history of money from barter to the launch of the Euro, passing through the economy in Ancient Rome and the role of Florentine bankers in the Renaissance.
Every Monday, starting from May 11 and for three weeks, the registered classes will receive a link to the videos of the Museum of Saving, to be watched before the quiz.
Friday will be the day of the challenge!
Students will have the possibility to talk with the experts of the Museum of Saving ad to ask for clarifications about the videos, and then will compete with students from other schools by answering a series of questions via Kahoot.
The winners will be rewarded with the animated GIFs of the Museum of Saving!
