Google Classroom privacy note:
We are using Google Classroom for this course to take advantage of its collaboration features. By default, each student’s first name and last name will be visible to other students in the class (email address and all other personal information remains hidden). If this bothers you, you can change your name display on your Google account or use another account with a screen name for the class. Instructions for both options will be provided with registration. I apologize for this inconvenience – I spent a lot of time researching alternatives and Google Classroom provides the best collaboration at a reasonable value. Any other option would increase the price of the course significantly.

This was a great workshop! The stock market simulation game is really interactive and it really gets you thinking about how the real world market works. It’s a good mix of games and learning at the same time. If I had to take this workshop again, I definitely would.

I really liked this workshop because there were fun activities. I learned a lot about the stock market and investing and enjoyed trading my stocks and making decisions about what to trade with my group. I highly recommend this workshop for anyone. It was especially fun to take this course with my friends.

I give Mrs. Seel’s workshop five stars. When I went, I didn’t know what to expect and when I came home my face wore a smile because I had so much fun and I learned a lot of important information. We played a really fun game for an example of how the stock market works, I would definitely recommend this workshop to others. Thank you Mrs. Seel for making this topic so much fun to learn about.

Absolutely wonderful course! Mrs. Seel teaches on all sorts of financial investments, although mostly focusing on stocks! Fun short quizzes are often held in a variety of formats, and she also runs an amazing stock market game for people to get a feel of how the stock market works. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to learn about how to invest money!

Three of my children, ranging in age from 10 years – 16 years, did the Stock Market Workshop several months ago. Even though there was a large age range, they were all enthusiastic regarding the format and the material. Mrs. Seel’s teaching is engaging and relevant. I highly recommend this workshop!

I really liked that it wasn’t boring. I liked that we didn’t have to study like in a math book but we were able to hang out together to learn. The game was fun and Mrs. Seel made the topic interesting.

This was a really good course, you learn a lot about stocks and how to use your money, and have fun at the same time. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to know how the stocks work, or anyone who cares about their money!

Was a great course, and lots of fun! The content is great, and the material outside of lectures is really useful for taking the information from class into context. You learn about all sorts of things, from how to invest in stocks wisely, to other great and safer opportunities to invest your money. I wouldn’t have learned about tons of useful information if it weren’t for this course. The teacher is also very friendly and good at explaining the content! 10/10, highly recommend.
