Overview:
Let’s be real: teaching compound interest can sometimes feel like watching paint dry—unless that paint is green and growing on your walls.
Welcome to the ultimate classroom upgrade. We’re moving past dusty spreadsheets and "balancing checkbooks.” In this session, we are harnessing the power of Gemini to build a Personal Finance Gem—a custom AI bot designed to do the heavy lifting for you.
We’re taking the NBEA Standards and injecting them into an AI brain to create a tool that generates instant, "no-prep" activities that actually click with students. Whether it's simulating a thought partner or surviving a "budgeting zombie apocalypse," we’re making finance fun, fast, and futuristic.
Whether you are an AI guru or new to the game, we will have just the resources to make your personal finance classroom more engaging without the hassle of spending hours of your summer preparing - talk about opportunity cost!
