About

This course skips the heavy notes and dives straight into action. Students will use stock market simulators, run mock businesses, and explore real-world finance through games, challenges, and team-based projects. It’s built for freshmen and sophomores just starting out, but also scales up to juniors and seniors with deeper topics like investing, global economics, and business ethics. A hands-on, simulation-rich journey through money, markets, and business, built for high schoolers and college freshman, inspired by college-level insight.

Course Units (12 total):
1. Foundations of Finance: Understanding income, expenses, and the basics of budgeting

2. Banking & Credit: How banks work, credit scores, loans, and responsible borrowing

3. Investing (Stonks): Stock market basics, risk vs. reward, and simulated trading

4. Entrepreneurship & Business Models: Building a mock business and learn how companies grow in the new markets

5. Taxes & Government Finance: What taxes fund, how to file, and why it matters

6. Insurance & Protection: Exploring health, auto, and life insurance through roleplay scenarios

7. Consumer Psychology: Why we buy, how ads work, and how to resist impulse spending

8. Advanced Investing: Mutual funds, ETFs, diversification, and market trends

9. Global Economics: Currency exchange, trade, crypto and how global events affect your wallet

10. College & Career Finance: FAFSA, student loans, career planning, and salary negotiation

11. Business Ethics & Leadership: Case studies on ethical dilemmas, monopolies, and corporate responsibility

12: Capstone Simulation: Students run a full mock economy, investing, budgeting, and managing businesses in teams.

If we have time, we will also dive into a topic of choice by learners.

Each unit will have two sessions of dedication, so it is vital to try and not miss as many sessions as possible.
