Merit Currency Management System

Problem Description

For classrooms and schools that have merit systems, a way to have students become more responsible with tracking how they earn their points and spend them in the school store.

Proposed Solution

A fake bank account that teachers can put fake money into like a fake Bitcoin that students can use like a credit card within the school. Basically a way to teach students about savings and spending through a merit system. And this would also help them track how they have gained money and how they are spending it. We could print out QR codes and laminate them as a way to make them like little credit cards or debit cards.
