Economics, Simplified: Kickstart Your Journey into the World of Money! (30 Min)

Welcome to "Economics, Simplified: Kickstart Your Journey into the World of Money!" This one-time, interactive class is designed for teens aged 13 to 18 who are preparing to dive into an economics class for the first time, or who are simply curious about how the economy works.

During our session, we'll embark on a comprehensive journey to understand some of the most essential economic principles:

Introduction to Economics: We'll start by defining what economics is and why it's important. You'll learn about the fundamental concepts of scarcity, choice, and opportunity cost.

Supply and Demand: We'll dive into the core model of economics: supply and demand. You'll understand how they interact and affect the price of goods and services.

Understanding Inflation: What is inflation, and why does it matter? We'll demystify this commonly-heard term and discuss its impact on the economy and our daily lives.

Economic Indicators: We'll explore key economic indicators like Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and discuss how they help us understand the health of an economy.

My teaching style is interactive and engaging. Rather than just lecturing, I believe in learning through stories, real-world examples, and active discussion. We'll use a combination of slide presentations, short video clips, and interactive activities to bring these topics to life.

Don't worry about the economic jargon; I'll break down all the terms and ideas into simple, understandable language. By the end of the session, you'll not only grasp the basics of economics but also gain a deeper understanding of how these principles affect the world around us.

No prior knowledge or experience in economics is required for this class. All you need is curiosity and eagerness to learn. So, get ready to dive into the intriguing world of economics with me!
