School Programs
For 4th Grade Classrooms
Moola Mania is a two-hour free field trip program offered at the Children’s Museum of Fond du Lac. This event encourages students to cultivate healthy personal financial skills by educating future generations of consumers. The content in Moola Mania aligns with 4th grade personal financial literacy curriculum and performance standards.
During the field trip, your students will be able to earn “Museum Moola” by performing a number of “jobs” around the Museum. After they have completed their jobs and income has been earned, students will have a chance to make financial decisions such as saving, sharing, and spending.

The U.S. Department of Labor estimates that by 2020 there will be more than 1.4 million computing-related job openings, one of the nation’s fastest growing sectors. National statistics indicate that women represent less than 28% of this workforce and the number is declining rapidly. Information gathered from leaders of local middle school and high school robotics programs indicate that by this age, the gender gap is already apparent, with 90-100% of participants being males. Exposure to more positive, engaging and fun computer related programs needs to target girls at an early age.
