WHAT IS NEW NERD MONEY?

About New Nerd Money

FOR HIGH SCHOOL AND MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS

New Nerd Money turns financial literacy into an engaging experience for students. We trade boring lectures for real action.

Recognized as a "top choice" by classrooms, our programs go beyond the basics.

We introduce age-appropriate concepts that help students build real-world money skills,
develop healthy financial habits, and gain the confidence they need to navigate their finances.

We turn a subject that can feel dry and intimidating into something they actually want to learn.

Our program covers essential topics designed to meet national standards and also suports New York’s Personal Finance requirements:

  • Money Mindset & Financial Goals

  • Earning Income

  • Budgeting

  • Credit

  • Stocks & Investing Fundamentals

This program does more than just check a box — it prepares your students for the real world.

WE WORK WITH SCHOOLS IN MULTIPLE WAYS:

SCHOOL ASSEMBLIES

A high-energy, 45-minute schoolwide assembly led by Ian Brock, built to spark excitement about financial literacy and empower students to think differently about money and their futures. This is not a lecture, it is a dynamic, unforgettable event that blends inspiration, competition, and essential life lessons.

INTERACTIVE WORKSHOPS

A hands-on, 3-hour deep dive that moves beyond theory, giving students practical personal finance tools to manage money and build real wealth. Students rotate through three high-energy group sessions packed with interactive lessons built to keep them engaged and walking away with knowledge they can use.

VIRTUAL SERIES

Students move through multiple sessions that let them revisit concepts, practice skills, and see growth. Sessions are led virtually in real time, so teachers aren’t responsible for delivering content. Students explore various topics through interactive lessons that connect directly to their lives and goals.
