We built FQS to teach high schoolers how markets actually work. Now we want to bring it to your students in person. Tell us who your group is and what you want them to walk away with, and we'll put a session together and help you run it. It's free.
FQS, short for the Finance and Quant Society, is run by students. Schools, clubs, libraries, nonprofits and companies all work with us, and none of it needs special software or a finance teacher on your end.
See the curriculumTell us about your group and what you're thinking. A real person reads it and writes back. Nothing here is a commitment.
We're not going to hand every group the same slideshow. Before anything, we'll ask who your students are, how old they are, how much time we've got, and what you want them to leave with. A room of freshmen who have never bought a stock needs something completely different from a club that already runs a paper portfolio.
A single session that leaves students with the basics, how a market works and how to read a stock, run through our live tools so it doesn't feel like a lecture.
A run of four or six sessions mapped to your schedule that takes a group from the ground up through a real chunk of the curriculum.
A stock pitch, a tournament on our trading floor, or a strategy contest, set up and scored by us, for a group that likes a challenge.
A talk or a Q and A about markets, quant, or what studying and working in finance is actually like, for a club meeting or an assembly.
If you run a finance or investing club, we can hand you a full plan for the year and keep helping, so you're not building meetings from scratch every week.
If none of those is quite right, tell us what you're picturing. We'd rather build the thing you actually need than talk you into one of these.
Schools and teachers, student clubs, libraries, nonprofits, summer programs and community groups. If you've got a room of students and a bit of time, we can probably do something good with it. All of it runs in a browser.
The heart of it is a ten unit curriculum, around two hundred short lessons that each end in a quick quiz. It opens with what an exchange is and how a single trade happens, then works up through reading a company's numbers, valuation, portfolio theory and options, and lands on writing and testing a trading algorithm. No math or finance background needed to start.
Ten units that build on each other, from how a market works to writing a real strategy. Each one ends in a quiz.
Online workshops and events through the year, from intro sessions to deeper topic nights.
A simulated market students trade with play money, with a new setup every day and a score at the end.
Hackathons, trading tournaments and stock pitch contests through the year.
