Financial Literacy, Taught Right
A structured, mentorship-driven approach to understanding markets, investing principles, and responsible financial decision-making.
Project Charlie is a student-led initiative dedicated to providing accessible, high-quality financial education. We believe that understanding personal finance and investment fundamentals should not be gatekept behind expensive courses or complex jargon. Our curriculum is designed by students who have navigated these concepts themselves, paired with mentorship from experienced practitioners who guide without promising unrealistic outcomes.

Understanding Compound Interest
Compound interest is the interest calculated on the initial principal and also on the accumulated interest from previous periods. It's often called "interest on interest."

“I came in knowing nothing about investing beyond what I heard from friends. The structured approach helped me actually understand why things work the way they do, not just what to do.”

“Having a peer mentor who recently learned this material made such a difference. They remembered the confusion and knew how to explain things clearly.”
