Building Financial Smarts Through Game-Based Learning

Workshop Overview

This in-person workshop combines concept-based and game-based learning. Participants first learn key financial concepts and then apply those lessons through an interactive board game. The game mirrors real-world financial and life decisions, offering a practical experience that reinforces the concepts learned earlier. By engaging in strategic choices and receiving immediate feedback in a social setting, participants build confidence and deepen their understanding more effectively than through traditional instruction.
