You'll have fun while you learn how to make money by investing in the stock market.  Using examples of companies you know such as Amazon, Tesla, and Netflix, you'll understand what the stock market is, how it works, and why picking great companies to invest in now, when you're young, can make you rich later.  This one session class may be the best 60 minute investment you ever make!!

Introduce 13+ students to the basics of the stock market in this engaging, one-session class. Students will learn how stocks work, the role of brokers and the stock exchange, and key concepts like buy low sell high, and company research. Through interactive examples and discussions, they’ll gain a foundational understanding of investing and how the stock market impacts the economy, empowering them to think critically about financial decisions."

This class is perfect for students who are curious about the stock market but are not ready to commit to my  multi-session course. It provides an engaging and fun overview of why companies become part of the stock market, what a share of stock represents, and how to pick great companies to invest in.  Using video clips and stock investing success stories, students will get excited to learn more. Students completing this course will be motivated to dive deeper into the stock market.  

My popular 6 week course "The Stock Market Investing Game! Beginners Will Learn to Pick Winners with $100K virtual dollars" has been completed by over 3300 Outschool students and is a great follow up to this introductory class. The course has received over 400 five star reviews and includes a stock market simulation game which kids LOVE because they get hands on experience buying/selling stocks.

As a former Stock Market Analyst and certified Business Education Teacher,  I love teaching Stock Marketing Investing!  My experience in the industry gives me a deep knowledge of stock analysis and the process of buying and selling stocks.   My students always enjoy playing the Stock Market Simulation and competing with me along with their classmates.   This introduction to the stock market class is fun and engaging and will get students excited to learn more.  Investing responsibly in the stock market is the best way to build wealth over the long term.  It is so important to start young and that's why it's critical for students to learn how invest responsibly now, BEFORE they risk real money.   

Based on my extensive experience teaching this subject, I know how to make it interesting and memorable.  I use video clips and engaging handouts to make the content  easy to understand and remember.  This class is interactive, not lecture based, so students will have the opportunity to discuss, share experiences, and ask questions.  I will help students discover how current events effect stock prices so they are more interested the world around them.
