At the Kidpreneur Island Christmas Wonderland Market in December 2025, MyCashlessClass set up a booth among the young entrepreneurs — children who had made their own products, set up their own stalls, and were running their own businesses for the day.

Dawn ran a digital-literacy question-and-answer session with them — real scenarios, real choices, small prizes for sound thinking. The questions were the kind every digital citizen eventually faces, scaled down to a child”s world.

When one child was asked whether to share a password in exchange for “free money,” the answer came back without hesitation: no — because that is how someone gets access to your money. “That is a brilliant answer,” Dawn told him, to cheers.

The session moved through the everyday moments of a cashless world: how a parent might pay for a field trip posted online (the payment link, not cash in a school bag); what to look for after paying for something (a receipt or confirmation, not a balloon); what to do when a student card is scanned and does not beep (check the connection and try again, rather than simply walking off with the food).

Each right answer earned a prize and a “hip, hip, hooray.” But the real prize was the lesson underneath: that understanding how digital transactions work — how money moves, how to stay safe, how to confirm a payment — is something these young business owners can carry for life.

This is what building a digitally comfortable citizen looks like in practice. Not a sales pitch. A room full of children who had built their own products, set up their own stalls, and tallied their own sales — now learning how to move confidently through a world that has already gone digital around them, whether they ever use MyCashlessClass a little, a lot, or never at all.
