Skillcoin Rewards System

Marketing, Financial Literacy & Crowdfunding Tools

Our Skillcoin Rewards System uses STEAM Education eGift Cards and Community Shares during the Community On Demand™ card game to help young innovators, leaders and entrepreneurs form Junior Executive Management (JEM) Teams (i.e. trade services franchises) and strengthen their financial literacy skills.  

Key Benefits:

  • Cultivate critical thinking, decision-making and creative problem-solving skills
  • Develop strong connections and collaborations between like-minded individuals
  • Gain access to local resources, pre-apprenticeships, registered apprenticeships and career-building opportunities
  • Lead initiatives that create lasting positive change
  • Understand the power of teamwork, civic engagement, and social responsibility
  • Create innovative products, services and solutions that make meaningful impact in your community

STEAM Eduation eGift Cards

Skill-Based Rewards

Triple Your Impact.  Our STEAM Education eGift cards are crowdfunding tools used to 1) represent the skills players are using to complete their design projects and 2) fund projects that allow players to practice creating budgets, generating revenue, purchasing materials and managing resources.

How They Work. Once players get a STEAM Education eGift card sponsored,  funds are separated into three use categories (Reward, Fund & Reinvest). Allocated resources must be used to seed the development of the products, services, innovative ideas and impact solutions players create for their Community On Demand™ design projects.

REWARD

30% of all eGift card sponsorships are allocated to a Student Stipend Fund where players can "pay themselves" or provide scholarships, grants, cash stipends and donations to their peers.

FUND

40% of all eGift card sponsorships go to our Impact Project Fund to help players develop and manage operating budgets for their design and service-learning projects.

REINVEST

30% of all eGift card sponsorships go to our CoD Network Reinvestment Fund to market, promote, distribute and "seed" the products, services, specials events and ventures created through service-learning projects.
