Inspiration

Not everyone has access to education in personal finance and investment. This project's goal is to create awareness, understanding , and to provide education and investment tools for new beginners for their personal financial well being.

This project's goal aims to provide accessibility and financial education and tool.

The program would be an additional feature in Capital One members' online banking accounts, for them to learn and invest in the stock market. Once members log into their account – after authentication, they have options to buy stocks for their self-direct investment. Money can be withdrawn from their account for purchasing.

They can conduct research on stocks that they are interested, learn more about stock investment, or review performance of stock that they already bought.

Features: Information and education on stock market and investment Charts, trends News for market in general Search news based on stock ticker symbols

How we built it

Creating dummy transaction data from chatGPT, and utilizing them in RStudio. Using RStudio to create graphs for data analysis on spending. We use figma to create visual illustration on what the app could look like.

Challenges we ran into

When attempting to create an educational tool for people to invest in stocks, and we encountered the following challenges:

• Difficulty in finding free APIs for trading and market information.
• To understand how implement any unofficial APIs

Therefore, the focus was shifted towards creating an educational tool that aims to bring attention to our users' financial wealth status. This new approach still allows us to pursuing our goal in creating awareness and educational tool for end users' personal financial well beings.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

What we learned

We learned RStudio.

What's next for wealthHackEd

We will keep working on it to make it functional on a website with dummy data, and finalize the user interface so that it is user friendly and appealing. Afterward, we integrate the program with actual banking account information. We will perform testing for software quality to ensure the program and the banking interface functions properly.
