Needometer helps younger children learn to manage money in a smart and responsible way. Adithya noticed that many of his peers spend money too quickly because they don’t fully understand the difference between a need and a want or how saving and investing work.

The app tracks money earned from chores, work, or gifts and shows how much the user has saved over time. Before making a purchase, Needometer encourages them to consider whether the item is a need or a want and highlights how saving now can support bigger goals in the future. By making financial choices visual and engaging, Needometer builds patience, responsibility, and strong money habits from an early age.

RuediCamas was created by Regina, an eight-year-old who loves animals and wants to protect the planet! The project transforms used tires and recycled fabrics into colorful, comfortable dog beds, keeping waste out of the environment while giving pets a safe place to rest. Each bed is handmade with creativity and care, often with help from family, and uses materials like old clothing and fabric scraps.

Through RuediCamas, Regina is promoting recycling, animal welfare, and responsible pet ownership, showing how small actions can make a big difference for the environment and animals.
