MADISON, Wis. -- Middle-school students will find there's more to do on CUNA's online youth magazine Googolplex.
New interactive features have been added to the middle-school level called AJ's.
The features allow middle-school-aged readers to log in with their own screen name and save favorite content, post moderated notes to other users, create their own hero icon and invite their friends to join their league of heroes, submit their own questions for possible use in an upcoming reader poll, request notification of new content on specific topics, and read the Kid Kred comic strip online and vote to determine the direction of future episodes.
In addition, the section also has new and challenging games and brainteasers designed to keep the site interesting and relevant to the age group.
Googolplex offers credit union-specific consumer stories and games designed to make youth of all ages feel welcome on credit union Web sites. New content is added weekly throughout its three separate reading and interest levels: 5-Spot, which addresses basic money concepts such as saving and spending for elementary students; AJ's, which helps middle schoolers tackle popular topics such as making friends, getting rich and shopping; and C-Note, which contains financial and personal advice on common interests for high school students such as cars, college, getting rich and shopping.
