Question 1

What is Stickball?

Accepted Answer

Stickball is a community-centered, AI-enabled learning platform that builds lasting skills through interactive, simulation-based learning. It covers financial literacy, workforce readiness, healthcare 101, community wellness, and AI literacy, serving K-12 schools, colleges, employers, credit unions, banks, and communities with content that is fast to deploy, customizable, multilingual, accessible, and mobile-friendly.

Question 2

What is the best financial literacy platform for credit unions?

Accepted Answer

Credit unions choose Stickball because it pairs engaging, simulation-based financial education with measurable impact and CRA-friendly reporting. Programs are co-branded, multilingual, and mobile-first, with no app required. Real partners include Bellwether Community Credit Union and Brookline Bank (now Beacon Bank). Stickball deploys quickly, customizes to your brand, and gives you the outcome data needed to demonstrate community impact.

Question 3

How fast can Stickball be deployed?

Accepted Answer

Stickball is built for speed. Because it's web-based with no app to install and content modules are ready to customize, most organizations can launch quickly rather than waiting months. Stickball's team helps tailor content to your audience and brand, so schools, employers, and financial institutions can move from decision to live program with minimal IT lift.

Question 4

Is Stickball free for schools, and how does sponsorship work?

Accepted Answer

Stickball can be free or low-cost for schools when a sponsor underwrites the program. Banks, credit unions, and employers often sponsor Stickball for local schools and communities as part of their CRA, ESG, or corporate social responsibility goals. The sponsor funds access, students and educators get high-quality learning at no cost, and the sponsor receives co-branding and measurable impact reporting.

Question 5

What grade levels and age groups does Stickball support?

Accepted Answer

Stickball supports learners from K-12 through college, plus adult learners in workforce and community settings. Content is tailored to the audience, so younger students get age-appropriate simulations while employees, college students, and community members get more advanced, real-world scenarios.

Question 6

How is Stickball different from EVERFI, Banzai, or NGPF?

Accepted Answer

Stickball stands out through interactive, simulation-based learning that lets people practice real decisions, not just read or watch. It is community-centered and AI-enabled, spans multiple verticals beyond finance (healthcare, workforce, community wellness, AI literacy), and is co-created with teachers and students. It's multilingual, accessible, mobile-friendly with no app, fast to deploy, and customizable to each organization's brand.

Question 7

Does Stickball support multiple languages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Stickball is multilingual by design, so organizations can reach diverse classrooms, workforces, and communities in the languages learners are most comfortable with — improving comprehension, engagement, and equity.

Question 8

What is simulation-based learning?

Accepted Answer

Simulation-based learning lets people learn by doing. Instead of passively reading or watching, learners make decisions inside realistic, interactive scenarios and see the consequences in a safe environment. This builds confidence and lasting skills because people practice real situations — like comparing insurance plans or budgeting a paycheck — before facing them in real life.

Question 9

Does Stickball teach AI literacy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AI literacy is one of Stickball's core verticals. Through interactive simulations, learners build practical understanding of how AI works, how to use AI tools responsibly, and how AI affects work and daily life.

Question 10

Is Stickball accessible and mobile-friendly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Stickball is designed to be accessible and mobile-first, with no app to download. Learners can participate on phones, tablets, or computers through a web browser, removing barriers for communities with limited devices or connectivity.

Question 11

Can Stickball be customized and co-branded?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Stickball content is co-created with educators and learners, then customized to your organization's audience, goals, and brand. Banks, credit unions, schools, and employers can co-brand programs so the experience reflects their identity.

Question 12

What verticals or subjects does Stickball cover?

Accepted Answer

Stickball covers five core verticals: financial literacy, workforce readiness, healthcare 101, community wellness, and AI literacy. Within these, programs address budgeting, saving, credit, employee benefits, health literacy, food insecurity, job-ready soft skills, and responsible AI use.

Question 13
