The Federal Reserve... Not just for adults anymore!

SFGate has a piece today on a new Federal Reserve web site geared towards the younger generation,

The Federal Reserve on Monday launched a Web page geared just for youngsters from 11 years of age to 14.

A cartoon of a smart-looking eagle — with really big talons — is tour guide of sorts for the site, , which offers a dose of Fed history. And since school kids are accustomed to tests, there's even a 10-question quiz:

When was the Federal Reserve Board created and by whom? What is a primary responsibility of the Federal Open Market Committee? Where is the Fed's Board of Governors located?

The kid's page is part of the Fed's effort to bolster financial literacy among young people.

SFGate wrote this as if all adults actually understand what the Fed does...

Nothing like simplistic descriptions to help enlighten us all!

And this comes JUST IN TIME for Bernanke's speech tomorrow...

There's even a QUIZ for those who really miss being in school, too.
