In partnership with Northwest Ohio Credit Unions and with a grant from the Ohio Credit Union Foundation, WGTE’s New Media Services created “Finances 101,” an online, interactive financial literacy game aimed at middle school to high school students. WGTE conducted a live, televised town hall program to launch the effort, and the game was unveiled in classrooms at the Penta Career Center. Subsequently, teachers throughout northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan have encouraged more than 3,000 students to log on to http://www.finances101thegame.org to learn all about money management and life in the working world.
