NEXTG FUNCTIONALITY

A gig is an activity you create and send to your child so that they can earn Gini Coins for their wishes. A gig can be a learning activity from NextG content library or a specific task that you create for your child.

Tap Add a gig   on your dashboard

From there, you will be able to choose what type of gig it is, how often your child should do it, and how many Gini Coins they’ll earn when they complete it.

Our purpose is to cultivate the next generation’s power of influence by enabling them to learn and become proactive citizens. Therefore, we offer content on 5 interrelated themes:

  • Environment
  • Healthy life
  • Digital behavior
  • Social citizenship
  • Financial responsibility

HEY KIDS

Here are few answers to questions we thought you might have…

HOW NEXTG WORKS

  1. Download the app and follow the registration steps.
  2. You will receive a link to invite your parents to NextG.
  3. Once they register, you will need to scan their QR code.
  4. This will immediately connect your NextG app to theirs, so you can start learning and earning Ginis.

A wish is something you want, that you can save towards. A Wish can be anything, from more time on Netflix, a new pair of sneakers, a trip to amusement part or even Lego brick to save for your Hogwarts Castle build.

Tap Add a Wish on your dashboard. From there, you will be able to add your wish`s photo, name, and cost.

On your dashboard, plan how to save the Ginis you need with the NextG calculator.

When your parents send you Gini Coins, you can choose to save them towards the Wish of your choice.

 

To save towards to Wishes:

 

  1. Tap the Balance icon at the bottom of your dashboard
  2. Tap Save on your dashboard
  3. Tap Save towards wishes
  4. Choose the Wish you want to save towards and the amount you would like to save
  5. Tap Next
  6. Your Gini Coins will now be saved to your Wish

Gini Coins are the virtual money you earn when you complete gigs, that add up towards your Wishes.

A Gini could be an exchange for screen time, a Lego brick that you collect towards your new Lego build, or even money. Depending on the wish, It’s up to you and your parents to decide.

Just complete all the Gigs that your parents send you. The more Gigs you complete, the more Gini Coins you’ll earn.

Choose the Wish you want to remove Gini Coins from, and tap Release Gini Coins.

For the moment, if you would like to turn your Ginis into money you will need to discuss that with your parents. First, agree with mom or dad the value and currency of your Ginis, then how they can help you to “cash” out your Gini coins.

We are working on the option to let you change your Ginis to actual money directly. Please be patient, we are getting there!

The social impact project is your opportunity to do something you care about. With NextG`s impact module you can decide what social problem you want to solve, create your solution, open a project and even invite your friends to help you.

Follow the process by tapping  on your dashboard.

If you have a creative proposal related to our mission, we would love to hear from you! Please drop us an email and we will definitely get back to you.

You can use NextG if you are older than 8.  However, if you are under 18, you will need to register as a child and connect your app to your parent’s app in order to be able to use it.
