Product Updates—October 2025

Here’s a look at the latest updates across product, curriculum, and accessibility.

National Standards Alignment

We’ve made great progress expanding our state standards alignment for financial literacy.
This sprint, we completed alignment for Utah, California, and Wisconsin, mapping each state’s financial literacy standards directly to Banzai curriculum materials.

We also got a head start on New Jersey, prioritizing it due to potential partnership opportunities with a state financial literacy organization.

Remaining states will be added in future cycles as part of our ongoing national alignment project.

Intuit Course Prep

We’ve launched new functionality connecting the Entrepreneurship course to QuickBooks simulations. This feature is currently in beta and allows students to seamlessly launch QuickBooks modules directly from their Banzai accounts.

Teachers can:

1. Open a student account for the Entrepreneurship course.
2. Navigate to QuickBooks Simulations.
3. Start any module (excluding pre/post tests).
4. See completion data reflected automatically in the teacher dashboard.

Once the module is complete, a confirmation modal will appear to indicate successful integration.

Wellness Center Updates

Accessibility continues to be a top priority. This cycle, we made significant progress on improving the Wellness Center to meet widely recognized web accessibility standards, ensuring the platform is easier to use for people with disabilities, including those who rely on screen readers or keyboard navigation.

CSV Update in Manager

To make reporting more robust, we added a “Workbook Type” field to the school reports CSV download in the Banzai Manager.
 
This addition helps sponsors and administrators better analyze workbook usage across schools and programs.

New Articles

We’ve expanded our content library with new articles and interactive resources designed to help users navigate everyday financial decisions with confidence. These additions cover everything from workplace benefits and budgeting to credit, taxes, investing, and emotional wellness—giving learners practical guidance they can apply right away.
