Empowering Middle-School Students: U.S. Treasury's Fun Financial Literacy Event
The U.S. Treasury recently hosted an event aimed at making financial literacy fun and engaging for middle-school students. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent encouraged students to open tax-free 'Trump accounts' for young savers. The event, sponsored by Visa, featured a soccer-themed game show and Marvel comics to teach saving techniques. An AI tool resembling Alexander Hamilton, developed by Fidelity, added a tech element to the event. This initiative is part of a larger effort to incorporate financial education into the school curriculum.
