Students will use the Student Experience page to participate in the Intuit Hour of Finance™ Challenge. This page includes the warm-up curriculum on budgeting, and it's also where students will play Intuit Prosperity Quest™. After completing the challenge, students can view the national leaderboard and download their participation certificate, all within the Student Experience page. You can find the page in the Resources section or the Educator lesson plan.

Educators will be able to review the progress and game scores of students at their school through a dedicated dashboard, however, Intuit will not be collecting any personally identifiable information (PII). Students will generate an avatar and a randomized name as their player ID. Only the randomized name with their corresponding result will appear in the educator dashboard. If an educator desires to understand individual student performance they'll need to match their students name to the avatar name they view in the dashboard.

Schools are assessed on the basis of Achievement (Financial Wellbeing Score) and Engagement Score (Participation Score). 

• Achievement Score (Financial Wellbeing Score): This is a performance indicator assigned to the individual players who have begun the Challenge. The score is computed by evaluating several aspects of the game, such as their ability to build and maintain their chosen budget goals, quiz questions, their impact on the narrative environment, and their overall financial health.
• Engagement Score (Participation Score): Schools will also be ranked by their participation. This includes the number of players that start the challenge from a school and how far those players get in the challenge.
• Winning the Challenge:The Financial Wellbeing Score is the School’s “Achievement” Score. The “Achievement Score” is then combined with the School’s “Engagement Score” to determine the Total Score, which will determine the winner(s) of the Challenge. 

Schools that meet or exceed the student participation requirement as detailed in the "Prize Eligibility” section above will then be ranked on the basis of their Achievement and Engagement scores The school with the highest Achievement and Engagement scores are the winners. High Schools are eligible to compete both statewide and nationally. Middle Schools are solely eligible to compete nationally.  If there's a tie, additional metrics such as quiz pass rates will be used to declare the winners.

You can find the suggested timing for the Intuit Hour of Finance Challenge in the Educator Lesson Plan. There is an option to complete portions of the curriculum to accommodate a 40-minute class period. The most important aspect is allowing for a 35 minute block for the game play in Intuit Prosperity Quest. The students’ scores in the game will determine your school’s overall score and potential to win a prize.
