Leading Investing App Invstr Announces Rap Competition To Inspire the Next Generation of Investors
Summary
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Invstr, the leading investing app educating the next generation of investors, launches Stock Market Tracks, a new investing-themed rap competition to inspire young people to learn about the world of finance through music. While African-Americans have been closing the gap, studies have still found that they aren’t investing at the same rates, and only 23 percent of Americans aged 18 to 37 say that the stock market is the best place to put money they wont need for 10 years or more. Invstr is partnering with New York City-based STEAM 16 -- a youth organization that focuses on making Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math accessible through the “16 bars” in a rap verse -- founded by Ron Livingston. Growing up in the foster care system in Camden, New Jersey, Ron noticed that students are falling behind, particularly in communities of color, because schools are failing to present and integrate STEAM subjects. Invstr makes it easy to learn how to invest before taking on real stock market risk, which aligns perfectly with STEAM 16s goal to demystify the world through rap music.
