The Fintech Club at Jaipuria Institute of Management hosted an engaging and educational event on October 3, 2024, titled “FinWin: Financial Literacy Game”. This activity aimed to enhance students' understanding of essential financial accounting terms while fostering a fun and interactive learning environment.
Objective of the Event:
The main objective of FinWin was to clear up any confusion regarding financial accounting terms for students and provide them with an in-depth understanding of crucial financial concepts. The event was designed to build a solid foundation for their academic and professional future in finance.
Description of the Activity:
In this exciting event, students participated in a financial literacy game using a bingo-style format. The game, carefully crafted by the event’s faculty coordinator Dr. Namita Srivastava, was structured to help students understand financial terms in a fun and engaging way.
