Our Journey
2014: The Beginning
OoberKidsRepublic was founded with a vision to empower young minds through meaningful and engaging education. What began as a small initiative has grown into a platform for inspiring creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking in children.
2016: The Launch of Money Factor
Two years later, we introduced *Money Factor*, a series of finance workshops designed to teach kids the fundamentals of money management in a fun and interactive way. These workshops became a hit in schools and holiday camps, helping children develop essential financial skills.
2022: Expanding into Science
Recognizing the growing need for STEM education, we expanded our focus to include science programs. With hands-on activities in chemistry, biology, and physics, we created dynamic science workshops and holiday camps that inspire curiosity and a passion for discovery.
Today: A Journey of Exploration
Today, OoberKidsRepublic is proud to run both science and finance camps, after-school clubs, and workshops. Our mission remains the same—to make learning an exciting adventure and to equip children with the skills they need to thrive in the future.
So, whose idea was this?
My journey started in 2014, when I started managing OoberKidsdRepublic.Money Factor followed two years later. At first I was nervous about visiting schools to educate youngsters about money. I wondered whether I was up to this challenge, that's when my teaching DNA kicked in!

Family Obsession
Readers - teaching is a family obsession: I have been surrounded by teachers all my life. My mother, most of my aunts (and their friends) and many of my cousins taught and still teach.
In my rebellious youth, I decided I would not (NO, NEIN, NON, NEE, LA, NYET) follow the family teaching tradition and I became a journalist instead.
After writing so much and so long about the investment strategies of large and sophisticated investors, I came to the conclusion that the best, wisest, shrewdest investment is education (mummy, look: you were right all along!!)
And so, it came to pass that, 11 years into my journalism career, I set up OoberKidsRepublic, to provide 'Fun-ancial' education to young minds and get them started on the road to financial awareness!
