1. Why start with maruLab?
A trusted financial education company - maruLab is a financial education service founded by experts from Mirae Asset Securities.
Because it was designed by experts who understand the financial industry, with a structure suited to the classroom, maruLab has established itself not as a “fun app” but as a tool that can actually be used for teaching and learning.
- maruLab goes beyond the limits of conventional, theory-centered financial education;
it is a game-based, hands-on financial education platform where students participate, make decisions and experience the results themselves.
- From economics and finance quizzes aligned with the Integrated Social Studies curriculum
to mock investing that reflects real-time market data, everything is connected in a single flow,
creating a structure in which ‘learning → practice → feedback’ follow on naturally.
- Today, maruLab
is actually used as an educational tool for Integrated Social Studies performance assessments at middle and high schools nationwide,
and is a platform recognized by teachers for both its practicality and its educational effectiveness.
- It is loved by beginners who lack knowledge of economics or investing and don't know where to study, and it is chosen by real investors who want deeper, better information about economics and investing.
2. How it differs from conventional investment education
Until now, financial education has had structural limits.
Because, by the nature of finance, it could not handle real money,
it had no choice but to stay with theoretical explanations and problem-solving.
maruLab solved this problem in the following ways.
- Theory lessons designed as game-based learning built on quizzes and missions
- Learning reward points converted into mock investment funds
- Trading experience on a real-time order book similar to the real market
- Experiencing risk, return and responsibility for one's choices through the results
Students
do not stop at ‘knowing economic concepts’;
they experience firsthand how the economy moves and what results their decisions produce.
3. A mock investing environment that is closest to the real thing
maruLab is not just a virtual investing game.
- A real-time order book on par with securities firms
- Support for reserved orders
- Cryptocurrencies, exchange rates, gold, ETFs, deposits, savings and more:
about 20,000 financial products available
- Even asset allocation and portfolio construction are possible
This naturally instills in students
the understanding that “investing is not simply a game of ups and downs
but a matter of choices, strategy and risk management.”
4. ‘Teacher management features’ designed for the classroom
The reason maruLab is especially highly rated in schools is
its group management features for teachers.
- Managing students by class or group
- Checking each student's learning progress in real time
- Monitoring mock investment performance and process
- Efficient support for running performance assessments and giving feedback
Teachers
can review students' participation, understanding and decision-making processes based on data without a complicated management burden. This improves both the fairness and the effectiveness of performance assessments.
5. The core value maruLab provides
maruLab's value is clear.
- For students,
it makes finance feel like a real-world problem they can experience rather than a ‘subject to memorize’.
- For teachers,
it provides a tool for running performance assessments and financial education efficiently and systematically.
- For educational institutions,
it becomes a standardized solution for responding to the trend toward mandatory financial education for young people.
6. Future direction
Going forward, maruLab
- Providing investment education materials and information
- Continuously expanding the products available for mock investing
- Expanding theoretical education content
- Strengthening cooperation with educational institutions
Through these efforts,
it aims to grow maruLab into Korea's best economics/finance learning platform.
