Where: SCLSNJ Watchung Branch β 20 Stirling Road (Watchung, NJ)
Event link: SCLSNJ Watchung Events
Who itβs for: Tweens & Teens in Grades 5β8
Why we love it π Math is the secret engine powering the world! The SCLSNJ Watchung Branch is hosting a highly practical, 30-minute crash course on financial literacy specifically designed for middle schoolers. Presented by Affinity Federal Credit Union, tweens will learn the foundational math and logic behind the stock market, different types of investments, and how to assess financial risk. We absolutely love events that tackle real-world mathematics because they take abstract numbers and turn them into tangible, powerful concepts that kids will use for the rest of their lives!
How this event aligns with iCode Princeton πβοΈ The stock market is essentially a giant, real-time data array!
-
Variables & Data Analytics: In programming, a “Variable” is a piece of data that constantly changesβjust like a stock price! In our Python and Data Science Tracks, we teach older students how to write code that tracks, calculates, and predicts shifting numerical data. Understanding how investments fluctuate builds the exact analytical muscle needed to program complex financial tech (FinTech) software!
-
Algorithmic Thinking: Investing requires serious logical deduction. You have to analyze past data to predict future outcomes and mitigate risk. We teach our students to apply this exact same logical mapping when writing algorithms, ensuring their code can process information intelligently without crashing.
Join the fun, then keep the momentum going at iCode ππ Master the market at the library, then bring that world-class logic to iCode Princeton where we teach you how to code the software that tracks it!
