Inspiration
Most teens want to learn investing but find traditional methods boring, so we made it fun with memes.
What it does
MemeStocks lets users invest in trending memes like stocks, with real-time price changes based on virality.
How we built it
We used React for the frontend and public APIs from Reddit to track meme trends and simulate stock dynamics.
Challenges we ran into
We struggled with finding reliable meme data sources and balancing game mechanics with educational value.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We built a working meme-market game with live data, a clean UI, and a unique approach to financial literacy.
What we learned
We learned how to handle real-time API data, design fun yet informative systems, and think like our target audience.
What's next for MemeStocks
Next steps include multiplayer mode, deeper financial mechanics, mobile optimization, and partnerships with financial educators.
