300 Students. 25 Storefronts.

TSME 2026
TSME 2026

One day to figure it out. Inside the Teach Students Money Expo, where Central Florida teenagers take on adult roles and budget their way through a floor of volunteer-run storefronts.

Goal

Capture the energy, learning, and impact of the Teach Students Money Expo in a format that grows the program's audience and sponsorship reach.

Background & Challenge

The Teach Students Money Expo is a single-day financial literacy simulation run by 8 Cents in a Jar. Students are assigned an adult life, a job, an income, a household, then move through a floor of storefronts staffed by community volunteers, making the budget decisions that come with it. The program had the substance. What it needed was documentation that could show funders, schools, and parents what actually happens inside that gym.

Seer Solution

Seer covered the full day, setup through close, student interviews, volunteer and instructor moments, and the organized chaos of 300 teenagers working out what adult money actually costs. Edited into a program recap film that communicates the scale, the intention, and the genuine moments of breakthrough that happen when kids are handed real decisions.

Results

A program film that works for recruitment, sponsorship decks, and school outreach. The kind of piece that makes the next TSME easier to fund and easier to fill.
