Spanning 6 structured modules, students will transition from basic concepts like identifying physical currency to advanced, real-world skills like budgeting, smart consumer habits, calculating compound interest, and managing credit responsibly. By combining gamified classroom simulations with structural logic, this course empowers students to build a bulletproof foundation for lifelong financial independence and tech-forward critical thinking.
