Systems and methods for providing advertising in a public educational system configured for children. Revenue is generated by selling advertising space within the system. The advertising space takes the form of, but is not limited to, letters (“C” is for car and is sponsored by the Larry Anderson Pontiac dealership), three-dimensional modular elements, (“H” is for house where a play house element is sponsored by a real estate agent Guy Haslem), large iconic three-dimensional features (“P” is for the Indiana Pacers with a large basketball icon), or the co-sponsorship of the theme and/or the location. Sponsorship supports the costs of the education zone equipment, location in shopping center, and maintenance of the location, as well as a remunerating and profiting investors and owners. Accordingly, the education zone provides a method for advertising by allowing businesses to sponsor different modular elements. The cost of sponsorship depends on the size and/or utility of the sponsored item. A simple character such as a letter will cost less than a large icon, which will cost less than co-branding the entire education zone.
