Although it’s holiday break time for schools, one teacher remains busy working on a way to teach kids about money — something that’s lacking among students.
Leetonia middle school teacher Lauran Woolley is working on an education software company called Little Tusk that helps preschool through 8th-grade children learn financial literacy through a gamified platform.
Woolley swept the Youngstown Business Incubator’s Shark Tank competition with her idea last month and recently she took a big trip to Washington, D.C. recognizing the work she’s doing.
