The Money Club: Build Week

Turn an idea into something real.

A one-week Toronto experience for ages 10–13. Students work in small teams to identify a problem, design a product, build its website, work through the numbers and put the idea to a real-world test.

That is how they learn:

  • what makes something valuable
  • how pricing works
  • how costs and margins add up
  • why some ideas hold up — and others do not

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

Students and instructors collaborating in class

The Money Club.Org is a nonprofit with open-book finances. The $200 tuition funds the one-week program - directly into instruction, materials, and the student experience. Any surplus is reinvested in future cohorts.

Help Us Kickstart

To run this summer, we need to secure $61,000 in paid parent participation by June 1, 2027.

That means either:

  • current parent participation
  • limited to 25 participants

Founder Jared Goldberg is personally contributing $15,000 toward the $61,000 goal to help get the program off the ground.

If we hit the threshold, we run.

If not, we build more and try again.
