CEEE Engagement with Delaware Schools and Financial Literacy Competition Highlights

Are you looking for an exciting and educational experience for high school students? Look no further than the recent collaboration between CEEE and Gooding, a rock band with a twist. This unique event combined the thrill of live music with an important lesson in financial literacy.

Gooding, known for their energetic performances and catchy tunes, not only entertained the students but also shared valuable insights into the world of finances. As lead singer Gooding himself explained, being a successful musician involves much more than just playing music. It requires budgeting, managing expenses, and making wise financial decisions.

The students were not only captivated by the music but also by the practical advice shared by Gooding. It was a refreshing and eye-opening experience for them, highlighting the importance of financial literacy in today’s world.

But the excitement didn’t end there. The 15th annual Delaware High School Personal Finance Challenge brought together bright young minds to compete in a quiz-style challenge testing their financial knowledge. The students, armed with what they had learned from CEEE’s Keys to Financial Success curriculum, showcased their skills and battled it out for the championship title.

In the end, Newark Charter School emerged victorious, showcasing their expertise and earning well-deserved prizes. The competition not only provided a fun and competitive atmosphere but also reinforced the importance of financial education among high school students.

This event is just one of many organized by CEEE to promote financial literacy and economic education among students and teachers. From training programs for educators to summer camps for young leaders, CEEE is dedicated to providing valuable experiences and resources that empower the next generation.

As Gail Colbert, personal finance coordinator at CEEE, aptly put it, “I just think this is amazing; I wish every student in the state could see it.” The impact of events like these goes beyond just a fun day out – they lay the foundation for a lifetime of financial success and economic understanding.

So, whether you’re a student looking to expand your financial knowledge or a teacher seeking innovative ways to engage your students, CEEE has something for everyone. Stay tuned for more exciting events and activities that will educate, inspire, and empower the leaders of tomorrow.
