There is a general lack of financial literacy in high schools. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f278161f318d81dbf44731/1509417433324-PWM6S7J5QGXAXEPIXRKU/CoffeCup2-01.png Copy of FIBE - The Solution? I wanted students to feel that they could take charge, choose pace, topics and learn in an open interactive way. To accomplish this, FIBE brings students and experts together at regular frequency in informal, cozy settings such as local cafés. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f278161f318d81dbf44731/1509418589899-LWNRT3DE2I7YRPWZJNI5/RoundtablePageBackup3-01.png Copy of FIBE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f278161f318d81dbf44731/1509418626572-YFASME1PNDGWEWDHA56V/RoundtableWille-01.png Copy of FIBE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f278161f318d81dbf44731/1509418756536-8XSQSYT0DL8M1ZECKL0W/RoundtablePerhar-01.png Copy of FIBE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f278161f318d81dbf44731/1509418761517-05OKWR1GS83EM9WCG6VS/RoundtableGoel-01.png Copy of FIBE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f278161f318d81dbf44731/1509418777897-BEXAJQTFNEXGZDBJS02C/KaranMckinnonFinal-01.png Copy of FIBE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f278161f318d81dbf44731/1509418814865-PJN7TS64KY5S3QPFOVTK/RoundtableHarveyw-o.png Copy of FIBE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f278161f318d81dbf44731/1509419171389-2RCKBUBZON72ZTGCZ2DY/RoundtableFoody3-01.png Copy of FIBE https://nishsingh.com/understanding-financial-markets daily 0.75 2017-11-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f278161f318d81dbf44731/1509462545101-YHJC9K3LJX1OVHR1AIQH/Investment+CLub-01-01-01-01-01.png Investment Club https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f278161f318d81dbf44731/1509492097110-ZP6YTMYCTK4EIMO1YLCZ/School-01.png Investment Club - My Passion: My pursuit of finance led me to Columbia University, where I took a summer course on investing.

I began to design a custom, easy-to-use application using MIT App Inventor and Android Studio to enable seniors to access communication platforms (ex. Gmail). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f278161f318d81dbf44731/1509501224471-GXT1V8HPILXV9RKX77V7/Phone3-01.png Senior Interfaces - Prototyping: I designed my interface with big buttons for Read-Write functions, pictures of loved ones instead of names and a voice API to send recorded messages. I started taking my prototypes to test with seniors at the centre. I talked with them for hours to understand their personal needs and tried to show how technology could help. As I showed them my prototypes, seniors began to give me feedback and became more open to using the tools. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f278161f318d81dbf44731/1509501068348-8ZHPRFD25387P08A5RKP/Untitled-2-01.png Senior Interfaces - The Problem: Seniors can find it difficult and frustrating to interface with technology. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f278161f318d81dbf44731/1509500797169-LM17O9K5D4KJQGL3XVL0/Gmail.png Senior Interfaces - A Solution: I wanted to re-engineer the technology to suit seniors.

The report considered existing issues in the tax code as well as potential tectonic shifts such as increasing automation, an aging population, income inequality and the emergence of the digital and gig economies as impetus for a review. In addition, the report posed ways Canada could design a tax review using international precedent in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, as well as Canada’s own review in the 60’s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f278161f318d81dbf44731/1568126501364-09TQ0C8NTNZJTXHT85HX/GlobeAndMail.png IFSD - The Report: The full report (5000 words) was published on the IFSD website, and an Op-ED based on the report was published in The Globe and Mail.
