Intertwined is an all-in-one financial literacy platform built for K–12 schools, colleges, and universities. We give teachers everything they need to deliver engaging personal finance instruction — standards-aligned curriculum, gamified simulations, ready-to-go assessments, and real-time student insights — all in one place.
The Three Pillars of Intertwined
Intertwined is organized around three core experiences that work together:
1. Curriculum Over 100 standards-aligned lesson plans covering personal finance, economics, and business. Each lesson includes worksheets, answer keys, and assessments designed to plug directly into your existing class periods. Our flagship course, Personal Finance Core Foundations (2e), walks students from financial responsibility basics through investing, credit, taxes, and entrepreneurship.
2. Simulations Three gamified simulators where students apply what they've learned in a safe, low-stakes environment:
Personal Budget Simulator — Students navigate six simulated months of life stages (College Student → Career → Retirement), making real budgeting decisions with AI-generated scenarios.
Stock Market Simulator — Students manage a $100,000 portfolio, reacting to market volatility and real-world news.
Business Startup Simulator — Students launch and run a virtual business, balancing revenue, expenses, and employee wellness.
3. Arcade A library of 15–30 minute, bite-sized financial literacy games perfect for warm-ups, sub days, or one-period activities. Most games include teacher-ready worksheets that reinforce key concepts.
