Class Experience

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other crypto are revolutionizing how we invest, bank, and use money

In this 4 lesson course we will learn what is a Cryptocurrency. Students will be given 100K virtual money to invest in the Crypto simulation game.  Students will learn how to buy, sell and trade Cryptos and where the Cryptocurrency stored.   This class will be structured on discussion format, worksheet, websites, slides and video clips.  No previous experience is needed.  Cryptocurrency has increased a lot in popularity in recent years.

Students will learn the possibility of how they will be purchasing things in the future.
