Shows
Financial literacy is the hot topic in higher education. Big Money and Big Life presentations are inexpensive ways to retain your students by giving them the financial smarts they need, before they learn the “hard way”. Hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars can be saved by following the tips, tricks and advice – an excellent return on your investment!
HOW THE SHOWS WORK
Both presentations are game show and lecture formats. Your student audience watches video clips of people answering financial questions. Think: “person on the street” interviews you might see in a late night talk show. If the student answers correctly, he or she gets to pick a $5, $10 or $20 bill out of a money bag.
Of course we’ll pair this fun and interactive game show with the important financial information students need to know. Patrick McGarrity will help students learn about the principles of financial planning and money management in an engaging and entertaining way with real life stories and lighthearted scenarios – not bewildering jargon.
The show culminates when selected audience members get the chance to scoop up handfuls of cash while inside the everpopular “Big Money Machine”. We can even customize the show using video clips of your own students!
