43% of Americans ages 25-34 don't know how to invest. That's a financial literacy crisis.
We are a team of learning designers who want to change that.
Our Mission
Promoting Financial Literacy for Adults
More people than ever want to learn how to manage their finances, but they don't know where to start. Our goal is to design a solution for these people so that they have the knowledge and confidence to make wise financial decisions for themselves.
Who Are We?
Meet the Team
We are a team of graduate students in the Digital Media Design for Learning (D.M.D.L) Master's program at NYU. We were each drawn to designing a solution for this particular problem due to our own experiences with financial illiteracy and our desire to make a meaningful impact for others who are struggling as well.

I’m Zora (Yichen) Duan, a First year G4L student. I’m a ECT fan with finance and international studies backgrounds in undergrad, so this project can be a very good combination of my previous and current learning fields. For individual hobbies, anyone who loves music, dancing and swimming can come to talk!! :D
