Finance, Technology & the Skills for What Comes Next
A six-week, in-person summer programme helping 15–18 year olds build real confidence in economics, finance and emerging tech, alongside the practical know-how to win internships, degree apprenticeships and placements at top firms.
Built to bridge the gap school doesn't.
FinTech Teens was founded on a simple belief: young people should explore the worlds of finance, economics, technology and data before they reach university or the workplace.
Created by an economics student at King's College London and Degree Apprentice at Amazon , the programme is designed to give students an early introduction to fields such as economics, finance, data analytics and technology. Many students go on to study these subjects at university or pursue related careers without ever having had meaningful exposure to what they actually involve.
Our in-person workshops combine interactive lessons, collaborative problem-solving, presentation skills and practical activities. Rather than relying on traditional teaching, we encourage your child to think critically, work in teams and apply concepts to realistic scenarios.
FinTech Teens' mission is to help students explore these disciplines in greater depth, nurture meaningful interests and build experiences they can draw upon when applying for university, degree apprenticeships and future opportunities.

We're about to welcome our very first cohort, so we don't have a wall of student reviews yet. But the response from people who've discovered what we're building — parents, teachers and people working in the industry — has been encouraging. Here's what some of them have to say.
I like initiatives like this, which encourage betterment for young people. Well done.
FinTech is a massively growing market and programmes like FinTech Teens are so valuable in breaking barriers to entry.
This is a great initiative, which is much needed — not the usual healthcare-focussed programmes.

Six weeks that change how your child sees their future.
FinTech Teens is a complete, in-person summer programme — not a webinar and not a worksheet pack. Your child joins a small group, learns from people working in finance and tech today, and leaves with real skills, sharper confidence and a clear sense of the routes into top firms.
Every cohort is deliberately small, so each student is known by name, gets personalised feedback, and walks away with work they're proud of with a certificate to show for it.

Financial education and tech exposure shouldn't be privileges reserved for those who already have the connections. Through my work at Wize Foundation, I've seen first-hand what opens up for young people when they're given the right tools and introductions — FinTech Teens is building that bridge, and I'm proud to support it.
