FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Ford's classroom raised $1,173

My Project
Objective:
The aim of this project is to enhance the learning experience in our personal finance class by introducing a set of financial calculators.
These calculators will allow students to perform a variety of financial calculations that are crucial for understanding complex financial concepts beyond the basics of budgeting and financial planning.
Need:
During the last semester, our class relied on spreadsheets and online calculators for financial calculations. While these tools are useful, they do not offer the hands-on experience that a financial calculator provides. A set of financial calculators will enable students to perform calculations more efficiently and understand the mechanics behind them, fostering deeper learning.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
