The Challenge

Help Treecard create a debit card & app that empowers teenagers to fight climate change and gain financial literacy.

Challenge Dates July 22, 2021 – July 29, 2021
Mission Possible

Treecard currently offers a wooden debit card that reforests the planet with every purchase. The target market is currently for people who are 18+ years old in the United States. Treecard is interested in expanding their product to teenagers and need your help to strategize how to adapt the product and marketing for a younger audience.

  1. The Opportunity

    There is a significant and increasing demand for environmentally conscious banking services. Right now, the Treecard debit card is only available to U.S. residents who are 18+ years old, but there is an exciting opportunity to adapt and cater the Treecard product to a younger audience.

    This challenge is sponsored by Michaela Kastelman, founder of Treecard and 2009 Camp BizSmart alumni.

  2. Your Mission

    Create a business plan and strategy for how Treecard could:

    • Adapt the features and design of their current app to be more engaging for teenagers
    • Market the debit card & app to teenagers
    • Help teenagers learn more about sustainability and financial literacy through the product
  3. Team Deliverables
    1. New Debit Card Design
    2. Marketing Strategy
