As the Federal Reserve Board’s \u003ca href=\"https://digital.gov/2019/03/05/using-augmented-reality-teach-kids-about-currency/\"\u003efirst public mobile app\u003c/a\u003e, the iOS app increased the value of the central bank’s digital outreach. However, market research revealed that not all educators have access to Apple devices in their classrooms. Many use Android devices, such as Chromebooks, for in-class instruction. To expand the usability of \u003cem\u003eMoney Adventure\u003c/em\u003e and ensure that as many students as possible have access to the app, the Federal Reserve Board developed an Android version of the app.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"image\"\u003e\u003cimg\n      src=\"https://s3.amazonaws.com/digitalgov/fed-reserve-app-2_w800.png\"alt=\"A screen capture of the zoom feature in use on the app. It shows the front of a 20 dollar bill, with a circle around a small part of the bill that shows a detailed closeup of that section.\"srcset=\"https://s3.amazonaws.com/digitalgov/fed-reserve-app-2_bu.jpg 48w,https://s3.amazonaws.com/digitalgov/fed-reserve-app-2_w1200.png 1200w,https://s3.amazonaws.com/digitalgov/fed-reserve-app-2_w800.png 800w,https://s3.amazonaws.com/digitalgov/fed-reserve-app-2_w400.png 400w,https://s3.amazonaws.com/digitalgov/fed-reserve-app-2_w200.png 200w\"sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 400px\"\n    /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eSimilar to the iOS version, the Android version of \u003cem\u003eMoney Adventure\u003c/em\u003e contains a note front and note back explorer. The note front explorer reveals the unique security features of the $20 bill to students as they interact with the virtual banknote. The Android app contains a 3D note back explorer that allows students to go on a quest through historical events illustrated on the back of U.S. currency. While this experience differs slightly from the augmented reality experience that can be found in the iOS app, students are still able to view 3D images and videos of the historical designs depicted on the back of banknotes. After downloading the app, students can venture through the app on either operating system without an internet connection.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDownload the app in the \u003ca href=\"https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.taoti.moneyadventure\"\u003eGoogle Play Store\u003c/a\u003e for Android devices or the \u003ca href=\"https://apps.apple.com/us/app/money-adventure/id1446642877\"\u003eApp Store\u003c/a\u003e for Apple devices!\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv\n  class=\"video\"\n  style=\"position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; padding-top: 30px; height: 0; overflow: hidden;\"\n\u003e\n  \n  \u003ciframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/Z4XCkDhve20\" title=\"Introducing the Money Adventure Android App\" style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" \u003e\u003c/iframe\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\n"}
