What should money do for me before anyone tells me what to buy?
Marble immersive asset
The Decision Atrium
A sunlit circular room with floating life goals, price tags, pressure signals, and a calm planning table at the center.
Learning targets
What students will be able to do
Define needs, wants, values, tradeoffs, opportunity cost, and financial well-being.
Write a personal money constitution that can guide future course decisions.
Identify the forces that shape spending: family, culture, advertising, peers, scarcity, and emotion.
Launch
Students enter the Decision Atrium and drag six possible life goals into priority order before any budget math appears.
Studio activity
Run a choice sprint: students receive a monthly income, three surprise pressures, and a values card. They revise their choices twice and explain what changed.
Student artifact
Money Operating System v1: three values, five rules, one spending boundary, one saving promise, and one question to ask before a big purchase.
Assessment
Exit ticket: explain one tradeoff where the cheapest option is not automatically the wisest option.
SofAI coach move
SofAI asks students to translate vague goals into measurable money behaviors and flags values that conflict with the student's draft budget.

Watch, inspect, then build your own proof.
These links provide public context. The VR School assignment is the artifact, reflection, and applied decision students create after using the resources.
