all right welcome back we have a really
interesting group fruit here for you
guys so guys please introduce yourself
where you're from what year you are and
then yeah we'll talk about your project
Hey hello everyone my name is Ryan jabo
I'm Bradley Carmen and I'm Matthias
Ortiz and we're presenting spondoolie
the new way to learn the stock market by
we're all in high school I'm a sophomore
the rest are juniors and we're bringing
to you the new way to learn the stock
market called spondoolie so do you yeah
can you demo the project for us all
right so this is spondoolie as you can
see on the screen this screen that's
visible is where the program recommends
to you stocks so spondoolie what is this
spawn spondoolie is a program that takes
actual stock information like the names
the codes and the prices and presents it
to you in a safe environment the actual
stock market is crucial to our capital
based economy but the thing is it is
super complicated there are so many
aspects to it it's hard to learn from
with books or reading up about it so you
gotta learn to experience but since it
involves money experience is expensive
like you could learn those thousands of
dollars so this is a safe environment
you can let's say let's click on AMD and
it's gonna graph for me the long-term
price of am dean from when it opened to
now and I can buy a few shares of Angie
which I did a few minutes ago in that
time since I bought it I have gained 4
dollars and 30 cents that's not actual
money its in-game currency and we can
use that to say like my investment that
I did in that stock was good I should do
something like that in the future you
learn to experience and experience it's
great when it comes to the stock right
so let's go under the hood see how the
program actually runs so here is Python
so here in the Python this is where we
actually get all of the stock
information we decided to use Python
because python is just really good for
really specific thing
like in our case getting stock
information so in this code right here
this is where we get all the the
real-time prices just with any stock
codes that we give it and then over here
we have the code where we get all the
past prices so like Ryan showed the the
long-term price where you can graph all
of the historical prices from when the
stock first opened and one of the great
things that having all the past prices
let's do it essentially lets us what's
our users play throughout the entire
history of the stock market we have
every single price of every stock since
its opening which means that we have
information dating back to the nineteen
hundreds when the stock market was first
created and essentially we can let our
users play through its history we can
let our users play during the Great
Depression play during the Great
Recession
it's either ramifications of real-life
events and how they reflect in
themselves on the stock market and what
it all formulates into is essentially
providing our users with the truest most
realistic stock market learning
experience at the littlest and lowest
cost yeah so this is a lot probably to
take in so let's plug some things here
we have a QR code that you can scan to
go on to a weekend where you can go to
see our website sorry about that or if
you can't scan it for whatever reason
you can go to www.hsn they come out
we're aiming for a quarter three twenty
twenty release date I hope to see you
there and maybe you can support us on
patreon
so I just want to point out first of all
that was such a great presentation I
didn't have to do anything and again
these are high schoolers so you guys
just really had this idea took it for
yourself can I ask what motivated it
because I can promise you in high school
I was not thinking about like oh the
stock market I should really learn that
so how did this come about
so basically a lot of us are in the
business program which is we're very
thankful that we have a good quality
business program in our high school so
that motivated us to learn about it but
the thing is we currently what exists to
learn the stock market all right isn't
the best quality so instead of waiting
around for someone to make it we can
just make it ourselves because that's
what we did with spondoolie
we took all we looked at tons of
competitors dozens of competitors and we
looked at the pros the cons and made the
best of both words that's how I got
interest and those two they handle more
of the computer science side they handle
getting the actual prices in a
presentable format that we can render as
a graph and we all all of our different
minds we all work together and make the
best possible stock market simulator
possible and then Matias can you tell me
did you know these guys before this
project or did you meet because of the
business program
let's just say that in the past few
months spondoolie has become a lifestyle
for me it's a lifestyle that we really
just kind of we were all really friends
before the project started but we've
definitely become a lot closer because
of it I'm glad to do that and you
mentioned you know the core idea of this
whole project is to be accessible a safe
way to learn the stock market where is
this going in the future do you are you
hoping to use at your school maybe yeah
that's a great question and in fact we
have spoken with our business club and
the business program in our school
deliver preparatory in Miami and they
have agreed to next year or whenever we
finish this quarter 3 2020 they will use
it in their actual business programs
officially instead of the current stock
market simulators they have and that
will we are hoping to incorporate in a
not just our school but a bunch of
schools and also independently for
people to play this just as a game just
for fun but also learn at the same time
wow that's I'm so great to do that you
guys I hope that it goes well with the
implementation I'm excited for your
classmates to learn this tool and to
really have the financial knowledge they
need to go in the real world cuz I'll
admit I'm a Yukon concentrator here and
I still need to learn a lot about the
stock market so I'll definitely use this
how can I contact you go like you know
anything you have yeah so we have in
fact just for this very occasion we have
business car and on the back is our
website on the frontage information
about us individually and you can use
that to learn about updates and the
future of spondoolie fantastic thanks
you guys
