Thirteen courses, four levels, one journey — every card below names what it teaches and the history it carries. Each course is $19, or start with the $15 door and get the whole suite for $49.
What money is, where it comes from, and why it matters.
History thread: Mansa Musa and the many costumes of money — shells, gold, paper, and beyond.
The penny bank: small amounts, kept safe, grow.
History thread: Maggie Lena Walker — the first Black woman to charter a bank in America (1903) — who taught children to save their pennies.
Safe homes for money — and how interest pays you back for keeping it there.
History thread: The Freedman's Bank of 1865, built for newly free families — and what protects your deposits today.
Own a slice of a company. Featuring Own It, Don't Just Play It — Roblox is RBLX, and Microsoft (MSFT) owns Minecraft.
History thread: Jeremiah Hamilton, Wall Street's first Black millionaire, who bought his slice in the 1800s.
Ownership and community economics — money earned on the block, spent on the block.
History thread: Greenwood, Tulsa — the families who owned the grocery, the theater, the whole street.
The new federal child investment accounts — the "Trump Accounts" — taught as reading the scoreboard: what they are, who gets one, and how parents open one. Facts on the board; heavy Parent Corner.
History thread: A new chapter in a long American story — what a head start has meant for families who got one, and families who didn't.
Spotting money promises that are too good to be true — and walking away like royalty.
History thread: How our communities have been targeted before — and how we protect ours.
Money's newest costume — what crypto is and how it works. Education only, never buy-this advice.
History thread: Money has always been technology — every new form was doubted first, then understood.
Money around the world — why a dollar here isn't a dollar everywhere.
History thread: Cowrie shells and the great African trade routes, where currency crossed continents long before screens.
The whole arc — the wall, the tree, the banks, the block, the screens — told with the respect it deserves. Scroll down for the timeline.
History thread: This is the thread — three centuries of building, including the hands that were never credited.
Promises about tomorrow — how farmers agree today on a price for a harvest that hasn't happened.
History thread: Fannie Lou Hamer's Freedom Farm Cooperative — land, food, and a future a community promised itself.
Reading tickers, charts, and market screens — the letters stop being random once you've met the companies.
History thread: The ticker tape itself — the clicking ribbon that once carried every price in America.
Nasdaq vs. the New York Stock Exchange — the floor, the screens, and why the tech giants live on Nasdaq.
History thread: 1971: the exchange that was born electronic — no floor, no shouting, just the future arriving early.
This is the big one, and we treat it that way. Three centuries of paper, promises, and people — including the builders whose names the market forgot to say. Young kings should know the whole story of the room they're learning to walk into.
Dutch settlers raise a wooden wall across lower Manhattan to mark the edge of their town. The street beside it keeps the name forever: Wall Street.
Twenty-four brokers sign a short agreement under a buttonwood tree and start trading together, in the open air. That handshake grows into the New York Stock Exchange.
America opens a savings bank for families just out of slavery. Tens of thousands open accounts — some depositing a single coin at a time — to build a free life.
In Richmond, Virginia, the Reverend William Washington Browne charters the first Black-owned bank in America run entirely by Black people.
Maggie Walker charters the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank — the first Black woman in America to charter a bank — and teaches a generation of children to save their pennies.
Black families build an entire business district — banks, theaters, hotels, stores — so prosperous it's called Black Wall Street. We teach what they built, because building is the lesson.
A new kind of exchange opens with no trading floor at all — just screens. The future of markets arrives, and it looks like a computer.
The floor is in your pocket now. A child can learn the same tickers the brokers shouted about — and own a slice of the companies they love. That's why this course exists.
Cheap doors open easier. Start small, or take the whole kingdom at once — every price is the whole price, no surprises at checkout.
