Getting teenagers to learn about financial literacy is no easy task, so we flipped the script. Instead of another boring lecture, we let them be the bad guys — loan sharks; forcing them to see connections between complex subjects: interest rates, term length, monthly payments; and the devious ways loans are perpetrated: hidden fees, penalties, payday loans. While they had fun ripping people off, they were learning a critical lesson — if you don’t pay attention to loan terms, you’ll get screwed.
