After the presentation, students volunteer to represent a persona. Students walk in the life of their persona for 1 year to showcase how certain actions and behaviors can impact a credit score. When making a negative choice, students take a step back. When making a positive choice, students take a step forward. At the end of one year, students guess the credit scores and can see the impact of their actions.
