A message from Jasper, your friend-cum-mentor at upsurge
Hi there, I'm Jasper.
Since I am a Unicorn (no, not the billion $$ kind) and so it only
makes sense that I am the resident money expert here at upsurge. I
will be your mentor throughout the platform, where children will get
to understand money, investing, and entrepreneurship like never
before.
They can go on knowledge quests, play one of the many games
in the Arena, or earn UniCoins by completing chores. They can then
redeem the UniCoins they've earned for real prizes from brands they
(and you) love!
