Most of us hear stories about the ups and downs of stock market every day, but do not fully understand the basic principles of investing. We have recreated the magic of an investing camp for virtual delivery where students will play investing games in a group setting. Students will be introduced to the investing landscape (stocks, bonds, crypto assets, and much more) and the nuts and bolts of stock investing. We will have fun practicing these skills with hands-on mock trades. We will cover the why, what, and how of investing, concepts like investment goals, risk tolerance, valuation metrics, portfolio diversification, etc., strategies, and mechanics of investing, as well as the risks inherent in different investments. If you have a curious middle or high schooler who is looking to learn about investing wisely, this is the program for them. Class setting: This class will use Nearpod (an award-winning student engagement platform) as the teaching platform, and include practical discussions, activities, games, and educational video clips. The virtual setting provides students a fun way to keep learning through various activities designed especially for online delivery. Teaching methodology: We will use games and hands-on exercises to provide students opportunities to learn, make mistakes and learn again in a safe environment.
