Money Fair

What is a Money Fair?

Scroll below for instructional resources!

A Money Fair is a fun, inquiry-based project in which students engage with financial literacy topics relevant to their age. Like a traditional science fair, students choose a topic of interest, conduct guided research, and show off their learning when they are complete.

This project can be adapted to meet the unique needs of a class. Connections to the PAA Financial Literacy curriculum modules are clear, and cross-curricular connections are possible too (scroll to access the document below).

To implement a Money Fair with your class, please fill out a contact form at the bottom of the page, and someone from the SIEC will be happy to help. Our team can assist with everything from:

  • initial planning,
  • meeting with classes to get the project started (virtual or in person),
  • arranging community judges (if doing an in-person Money Fair),
  • and organizing prizes for your event.
