🎓

This is education — not financial advice. Students use historical and delayed data to learn AI and data science. No real money, no live trading, and no buy/sell recommendations — ever. A core goal is learning how markets and models can mislead people. Real decisions require a licensed professional.

What you'll build

Real data. Real AI agents. Real skepticism.

Students combine the AI-agent skills from Level 1 with real market data to build a working analyst tool — while learning to see through hype the way a professional does.

📊

A market dashboard

Type a company and get charts, indicators, volatility, sentiment, and a plain-English AI explanation.

👥

An AI analyst crew

Four agents — Data, News, Risk & Skeptic, Writer — that work together like a real analyst desk (built with CrewAI).

📄

A one-page brief

A polished, research-style market brief — a standout artifact for college applications.

The 4-week plan

From raw prices to an honest analyst crew.

Four weekly 2-hour live sessions. Small groups, with all data and AI access provided — nothing to install or pay for.

Week 1 · Data & Charts

See the market

01Real market dataPull years of real prices with one line of Python.
02Returns & volatilityMeasure growth — and risk, the thing hype ignores.
Week 2 · Indicators

Read the signals

03Moving averagesSmooth the noise to see the trend (20/50/200-day).
04RSI & momentumBuild the indicator from scratch — and learn its limits.
Week 3 · AI Analyst

Explain it

05The AI analyst layerA structured, cautious brief from real data.
06News sentimentRead the mood of headlines (real academic dataset).
Week 4 · Crew + Skeptic

Ship it

07The Market Analyst CrewData → News → Risk/Skeptic → Writer.
08Dashboard, brief + demoCompare a sector; earn your Level 2 certificate.
The module that sets this apart

Why most “trading bots” are lying.

It's easy to show a backtest that “made millions.” The real skill — the one colleges and mentors respect — is seeing through it. Students leave able to question a flashy AI result instead of trusting it.

Overfit backtestsTry enough random strategies and some “win” by pure luck — then fail on new data. Students prove it on noise.
Survivorship biasWe only hear about winners; the failures are invisible, so success looks easy.
Patterns decayAn edge that worked can vanish the moment everyone notices it.
The final product

A 3-tab Market Intelligence Dashboard

A real web app students build and demo — not a notebook that prints text.

Tab 1Market Explorer

Price & moving-average charts, volume, and the data behind a company.

Tab 2Indicators & Risk

RSI, volatility, and a clear read on momentum and risk.

Tab 3AI Brief

A structured, honest market brief — with a built-in skeptic warning.

Questions parents ask

Good to know

Is this teaching my child to day-trade?+

No. This is an educational data-science and AI course using historical, delayed data. There's no real money, no live trading, and no buy/sell advice. The most valuable thing students learn is healthy skepticism about flashy financial claims.

Does my child need the Agent Builder Lab first?+

It's strongly recommended — this Level 2 lab builds on the AI-agent skills from Level 1. Students with solid Python and AI basics from elsewhere can also fit; reach out and we'll help you decide. Enrolled students get Python and AI-math prework on our portal.

Is it real finance, or just coding?+

Both, by design. Students build a genuine analyst tool with real data, but the heart of the lab is critical thinking — overfitting, survivorship bias, and why “past performance” warnings exist. That maturity stands out on applications.

What do they leave with?+

A working AI Market Analyst dashboard, a one-page market brief for their portfolio, and a Research Ignited Level 2 certificate. Strong students can extend the project into our Research Program.

See the market clearly — and skeptically

A standout project, an honest education in AI and markets, and a credential that means something. Seats are limited.
