SLC PRO: Finance Fusion: The Money Lab (For Grades 6-8)
This is a two-day program that takes place on July 20 & 21. One ticket per attendee covers both days.
Class Details
How do you build wealth when the world is designed to make you spend? Students will navigate the "real-world" economy by managing a digital budget, tackling the math behind paycheck taxes, and seeing firsthand how credit card interest can spiral out of control. Beyond just avoiding debt, you'll compete in a simulated stock market to see how compound interest and strategic investing can grow a small savings into a major portfolio. This two-part class offers a fast-paced look at how to master your money before your first paycheck even arrives.
