What is Fintech? : products and companies that employ newly developed digital and online technologies in the banking and financial services industries

Our Fintech program teaches students how to code using Python as they gain exposure to the Fintech industry careers. Students work with professional software developers and engineers from top Fintech firms. Students will also participate in a 24hr hackathon event.

The goal of the Greenwood Project Fintech program is to teach students how to code with a focus on the Fintech industry. The program combines classroom work with experiential learning. Students partner with software developers from various Fintech firms, working on a capstone project with a demo day at the conclusion of the program.
