Project Overview
Student SaskMoneyMinute challenges students across Saskatchewan studying financial literacy outcomes in 20 and 30-level courses to create a 1-minute video that teaches their peers about a healthy financial habit relevant to their age group. The topic must be directly connected to a financial literacy-themed module/outcome in the Saskatchewan curriculum. Students are encouraged to be creative with their project and to consider how this video will engage and inform their peers when shared on social media.
Note: Fin Lit 10 classes are not eligible. Please visit the payatTENtion! page for a Fin Lit 10 project !
