This is a summer camp — just a different kind

Many kids already earn money in small ways—babysitting, tutoring, selling things.

The Money Club.Org takes it further.

Students build products, services, and simple apps—and learn what happens when an idea meets the real world.

They receive a small project budget and use AI to research, create, and test ideas. Then they see if people will actually buy their stuff.

That’s how they learn:

  • what makes something valuable
  • how pricing works
  • and why some ideas hold up—and others don’t

This is financial literacy, design thinking, and AI—applied in practice.

What Do Students Build?

Students work on real ideas—not hypothetical projects.

They move from early concepts to something they can test and present.

Examples:

  • A small product people might buy
  • A service that solves a real problem
  • A basic app or digital tool
  • Branding or marketing to support it

The goal: Build something—and see if people buy it.
