Gamified Financial Education Initiatives

TD Bank and the Venture Valley Creators Partner

An educational initiative is being launched at Johnson C. Smith University through a partnership between TD Bank and the creators of the Venture Valley video game. The program centers on a competitive event where students will play a business simulation game, with the opportunity to win monetary awards.

The Venture Valley game itself is designed to teach principles of entrepreneurship and finance. It tasks players with managing virtual companies and making decisions about investments, cash flow, and profitability. The organizers cite survey data indicating that a majority of participants felt the game improved their comprehension of financial concepts and increased their interest in starting a business.

The event at Johnson C. Smith University is part of a broader series of similar tournaments that have been held at other educational institutions across the United States.
