As a former Investment Banker and certified Business Education Teacher,  I love teaching Cryptocurrency and Stock Market Investing!  My experience in the industry gives me a deep knowledge of investment analysis and the process of buying and selling stocks and cryptocurrencies.   My students always enjoy playing the Investment Simulation game and competing with me along with their classmates.   This Cryptocurrency minicamp is fun and engaging and knowing how to identify ways to profit from this growing phenomenon is an important life skill.  Investing responsibly is the best way to grow savings and build cash reserves.   That's why it's critical for young adults 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 the prices of  cryptocurrencies (including Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and Ethereum) which will increase their engagement in the world around them.

Detalles: Students are encouraged to use the investment game to enter trades to buy and sell crypto coins.  They can spend as much or as little time doing this as they choose.  Students are also encouraged to share any news articles they find relating to the crypto currency market.

We will use free and widely approved/vetted financial websites such a yahoo finance to find current news articles and prices for cryptocurrencies.
