The UE Summer Ceramics Workshop is hosting their ceramics sale August 6, 10am -2pm, on UE's campus. The location is the South Lawn of Koch Center. Ceramics will range in price from $20-$300. Parking is available in front oval or the parking lot off Weinbach Avenue.

The 2022 UE Changemaker Challenge Winners, Intertwined Financial Literacy LLC announced on July 26, a $30,000 pre-seed Investment from Paul Saunders, President of eLuxury.com & ePackageSupply.com, and software investor Luch Bucshon, formally at Vista Equity Partners.

Intertwined was co-founded by Kerry Ao, 17, Cooper Croslyn, 17, and Naina Muvva, 17, in 2022, making them some of the youngest venture-backed entrepreneurs in America. The three high schoolers attend Signature School in Evansville, Indiana.

The team is developing an online interactive personal finance and stock market simulator that integrates adaptive learning lessons. The financial literacy education web application, Intertwined Finance, allows students to learn more effectively as it adapts to their own pace. The adaptive quizzing then unlocks financial tools within a simulator after the software determines that a student has mastered a learning topic. The platform is intended for high schoolers inside the classroom, and these tools are part of a broader curriculum Intertwined will develop.

Ao states, “My co-founders and I are excited to bring Paul and Luke on as investors. This investment will accelerate our work on achieving Intertwined’s mission—to vastly improve the quality of financial literacy education across America.” The founders of Intertwined were inspired to create a financial literacy educational platform after seeing a gap for this type of education in Indiana as well as broadly in the U.S.

Four Indiana high schools will pilot test Intertwined in their classrooms beginning with the 2022-2023 school year.
