BlackFem, Inc.’s Second Annual Finance Fair
When: Saturday, December 2, 2-5 pm
Location: Betterment, 61 W 23rd St, New York, NY 10010
The Finance Fair is BlackFem’s largest public event of the year and serves as a showcase and capstone for our students. Similar to a science fair, our students build presentation boards and small pitches and teach wealth and financial concepts to the attendee “investors.” For example, last year Azariah, who was in Kindergarten, taught attendees about the benefits of compound interest, while Maimouna taught attendees about their credit score and what factors can improve (or hurt) your credit score. The “investors” circulate throughout, listening to the pitches, and dropping tokens into the baskets that belong to the students that deliver their favorite pitches so that the spirit of investing in the students’ financial futures is as visible as their wealth and financial literacy.
