Abstract—Multimedia teaching materials and contents are now included in classroom teaching, bringing about joyful reading with images that stimulate students' interest in learning. This study utilized the applications of integration software to produce a simulation-based story on expenditures that span an individual's lifetime, covering infancy, childhood, adolescence, youth, middle-aged, and elderly. After participating in the course, producing the creative story in person, and feeding back their ideas on expenditure and wealth management, students were prompted to plan their future life. Hands-on courses can thus be advocated to help promote the interdisciplinary and integrated education of STDAM (science, technology, digital, art, maths) and to cultivate talents who can integrate theories and practices. Strategies such as theory-oriented design and exploration are incorporated in the process of hands-on practice so as to cultivate students' ability to integrate knowledge of STDAM with software.

Index Terms—STDAM, career planning, education on wealth management, applications of integration software, multimedia, creative comics textbook.
