Habbit is a mobile application developed within a 36 hour hackathon with the main goal of empowering young women through tech.
Originally inspired by the Hobbit, this app was meant to bridge the financial literacy gap that exists for young girls through a mystical and adventurous platform that is both educational and fully interactive!

“Give a woman a dollar, and she can put it to good use. Teach her about how money really works, and she can change the world.”
—Linda Taylor, CEO of Investment Counsellors
Problem Statement
The main problem addressed through Habbit is the persistent lack of education on financial literacy within the Ontario schooling system.
This leaves many young girls stranded, without the foundation to build long-term independence and economic security.
Using their newfound financial awareness, young girls are empowered to thoughtfully exercise their financial independence and make wiser and better-informed spending choices.
