// the gap we're closing
School won't teach this. So we made it a game.
Most teens leave school knowing more about mitochondria than money. StockMarkids gives you a head start on the one subject that follows you for life — and makes it genuinely fun.
65%
of Gen Z can't confidently explain how investing works.
We're here to flip that — early.
$0
of real money at risk.
Real markets, play money. Mess up for free.
13–17
the squad we're built for.
From first trade to real market confidence.
Stat reflects industry research on Gen Z financial literacy, 2025.
// how it works
From zero to your first trade in minutes.
Start with $100k in play money
Open your free account in the browser and get a virtual stack to invest. Nothing's real — so mess up all you want.
Buy real companies you know
Trade live-priced stocks like Nvidia, Roblox and Tesla — the brands behind your games, your phone and your feed.
Watch it move — and learn why
Your portfolio rises and falls with the real market in real time. Plain-English explainers break down every move.
// know the meta
Bull vs Bear — read the market state.
Every market is in one of two modes. Learn to read them and you play smarter than most adults.
Prices climbing, confidence high. When the bulls are running, the market's on a winning streak.
Prices falling, everyone's cautious. Bear markets test your nerve — smart players play the long game.
// the companies you'll trade
Trade the brands behind your world.
Not random ticker symbols — the real companies you already know. See how the people who make your GPU, your console and your favourite games actually perform. Tap a brand you know and see if you'd be up or down.
// …and hundreds more, all the way up to the whole S&P 500
// what's inside
A real trading platform. Minus the boring bits.

Why-it-moved explainers
Plain-English breakdowns of what just happened to your stocks, and why — learn by doing.
Watchlists & alerts
Follow the companies you actually care about and get pinged when something big moves.
// the head start
Imagine getting this at 15 — not 35.
Most people learn money the hard way, years too late. Start now and you build confidence, good habits and market instinct early — skills that stick for life, available before you can even drive.
// try the example
See how compounding works.
This is an educational example — not a prediction of what you would earn. Slide the numbers around and watch how time and regular investing can change the picture over the long run.
Example only — uses the US stock market's ~7%/year long-run historical average for illustration. Real markets rise and fall; past performance does not predict future results. For learning, not advice.
Example result
$2,596
after 10 years in this example — you put in $1,800, growth added $796.
// for grown-ups
