Event Details
Finance Explained, a student-run financial education publication based in the Bridgewater-Raritan community, is continuing our efforts to spread literacy by having a book drive. This summer, founders Mahathi Karthik, Aayush Dhar, and Daksh Bansal collected and donated 300+ books, primarily to the various community book boxes, and are now expanding the effort to involve more members of the community. Our aim is to reach 1000+ books by September.
With support from section editors Avik Dutta, Pranay Chowdhary, Dhurva Hebbar, Keshav Chary, and Atharv Arora, the team is working to spread the word about the drive and encourage local students, families, and community members to donate books and help reach the 1,000+ book goal.
Finance Explained was started by Mahathi Karthik, Aayush Dhar, and Daksh Bansal to make financial literacy more accessible and understandable for students. We noticed that topics like investing, economics, careers, and personal finance can often feel complicated or aren't taught in a way that is easy for young people to understand. We created Finance Explained as a student-run platform where these topics could be broken down through free, easy-to-understand articles written by students for students. While it is currently being reconstructed and expanded, we continue to publish content and grow our team. We have over 20+ writers, 150+ articles, and have received over 2,000 views. Since then, our goal has grown beyond publishing articles to building a community of student writers and finding ways to give back to the Bridgewater-Raritan community.
