At Blackhawk Community Credit Union, Teresa knew the challenge wasn’t just teaching money. It was keeping students engaged.
Instead of slides or lectures, Teresa brings Cashy, a plug-and-play platform with interactive games that make learning about money visual, competitive, and fun. The result: classrooms that are alive with energy, curiosity, and real conversation about financial choices.
Teresa often teaches early — her sessions start at 7:30 a.m., when most students are barely awake. What starts as a quiet room quickly turns into laughter and competition. By 9:15 a.m., students are cheering, learning, and asking when they’ll get to play again.
Teresa first heard about Cashy from a high-school teacher who was already using it in class.
She visited his class, saw the excitement firsthand, and decided to bring Cashy into her own sessions. Since then, she’s used it everywhere — high schools, the YMCA, and even with the Craftsmen with Character program.
Now, teachers and schools keep inviting Teresa back because the students want to play. What used to be a quiet, early-morning presentation has turned into one of the most engaging parts of the day.
