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.
