"My students cannot stop raving about the [Financial Reality Fair]! They were engaged the entire time and found it to be both fun and highly beneficial. [American Eagle, Junior Achievement] and their industry-professional volunteers went above and beyond to make the day as realistic and educational as possible! We cannot wait for the next Byte of reality fair! "

“The program was so well run, and the information was invaluable. It was a great way to get my students to start to think about their adult life, saving, investing, etc. The people that you had working the fair were outgoing and knew that they would have to draw students in and they did. I loved the financial counselor piece. Every one of my students had a great experience, even my students who are resistant to everything. The educational piece right in the beginning I felt was the most valuable.”
