55 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
In this 55-minute interactive class, students will explore stock market screeners, tools that help investors make informed decisions. They'll learn how to apply filters, understand key terms like shares and market cap, and see how screeners work. Through hands-on activities, students will use a simplified stock screener to pick stocks based on criteria such as price, volume, and industry—and learn essential filtering strategies that are key for buying stocks or crypto in today's active financial markets. The class is engaging and interactive, focusing on discussion and critical thinking. Students will participate in stock-picking exercises, share their choices, and ask questions throughout. The goal is to introduce financial market literacy, business awareness, and economic concepts in a fun and approachable way for young learners.
