Welcome welcome to Wild and Unstructured Learning!  Our classes are hands on and built so you can use your creativity!  In this class learners can come together in a group to learn about financial literacy.  Economics in our understanding is one of the most left out subjects.  Why is that?  The world, yes the whole thing, revolves around money.  Money isn't a bad thing.  Its not a good thing.  It is whatever we make it based on our feelings about it.  Let's learn and feel empowered when making financial decisions.  Lets learn all we can learn about choices, money and hard decisions sooner rather than later.  Join us!  Teachers in this class are all hands on and interactive.  Children will have time to discuss all of their thoughts with teacher and the class.
