About the Making Cents Project

The Making Cents Project is a collaborative effort of the Pennsylvania Department of Education and The Pennsylvania State University established to meet specific requirements of Act 104 of 2010 as it relates to economic and personal financial literacy. Established in January 2012, the Making Cents Project is now in its tenth full year in 2021-2022. Key elements of the partnership remain consistent from year-to-year including providing professional development for Pennsylvania educators, maintaining a database of educators interested in personal finance and economic education, disseminating information to educators, curating financial education curriculum and resources, and researching the status of personal finance and economic education in the commonwealth.
