New look, same #FinEd mission. Follow us throughout the year for financial literacy tips/tricks and to keep up with the #MagChallenge https://t.co/D2HjLEyz1I
Today on @YahooFinance: Magnetar founder/CEO, Alec Litowitz, & @Rmaxcy of @UChicagoSTEMEd shared the importance of #FinEd access & explained how @FinEdInitiative's finEDge course teaches decision-making, vs just facts. “We decided we could do more together than alone,” Alec said.
Highlight: “There’s so much we’re not teaching our students” about financial literacy, says Chicago STEM Education’s Rebecca Maxcy. “We know there is an income inequality gap, but… there is [also] a massive education and knowledge gap,” adds Magnetar Capital’s Alec Litowitz.
Congrats to the five teams with the winning #MagChallenge portfolios! Teams began with $100K and received an additional $10K in their portfolios at the start of round two. @AUSLWPAHS @ChicagoAgHS@CristoReyChi@BeNobleRCP@PalatineHS made the highest returns!
Congratulations to Bryan, Nayeli, Luis, Jonathan, Benji and Bryant for working hard and representing CLHS at the Magnetar Team Challenge!
Students created and maintained a stock portfolio based on economic indicators and their portfolio's performance throughout the day.
For this year’s #MagChallenge, we brought in artists from @urbanwildstudio to help us visually see how financial education impacts financial decision-making.
Taking a moment to thank the educators who teach the finEDge curriculum! You’re empowering your students to successfully navigate financial decisions for life! #MagChallenge https://t.co/8eqIbAPlzb
