Welcome to SunLite—Sun Life’s bold leap into the digital frontier—where Gen Z can safely discover and master the art of investing through immersive paper trading. By turning education into an exciting, game-like experience, SunLite empowers Gen Z to practice real-world skills, build financial confidence, and shine in a future that’s theirs for the taking.

Project Overview: Built on React and Tailwind CSS for the front end and Python with Flask on the back end, this platform leverages the yfinance (Yahoo Finance) API to provide real-time stock prices and market data.

How It Works:

• Low-Barrier, Gamified Investing for Gen Z: Features daily login incentives to encourage consistent engagement and learning.

• Real-Time Stock Data: Delivers a near-realistic trading experience, helping users see how investments could compound over time.

• Community Forums: Promotes user-generated content and discussions on investment wins, losses, and market insights.

• Seamless Transition to Live Trading: Offers the ability to convert paper trade portfolios into actual share purchases through Sun Life’s Qtrade Securities Inc. brokerage.

Future Improvements:

1. Mobile Integration: Develop a dedicated mobile app and integrate with Sun Life’s existing mobile ecosystem.
2. Historical Stock Simulator: Allow users to “rewind” the market and explore past investment scenarios.
3. Due Diligence Tool: Implement automated sentiment analysis and comprehensive stock overviews to assist in informed decision-making.
