TTM Presents
MAKE IT MAKE CENTS
Every skill learned, every experience earned, every door opened — we help students turn all of it into money.
Programs. Tools. Workshops. Built by Triple Threat Mathematics.
The Mission
EVERY STUDENT DESERVES TO SEE WHERE THEIR STRENGTHS CAN TAKE THEM
Make it Make Cents exists because too many students — especially in underrepresented and underserved communities — are told what they can't do before anyone shows them what they can. The career paths are there. The salaries are real. The trailblazers who look like them already exist. Nobody connected the dots.
We connect them. Through strength-based career discovery, hands-on building experiences, financial literacy tools, and real talk about how money works — we help students make every learning opportunity, every experience, and every moment of exposure make cents.
The Growth Equation
Growth = Make + Save + Capture
TTM's core thesis — applied to youth. Students learn to make money (career skills), save it (financial literacy), and capture opportunities (not leave anything on the table).
The Philosophy
MAKE IT MAKE CENTS
Our goal is simple: help students connect the dots between what they learn and what they earn. Every program is built on this principle.
01
Connect the Dots
Students discover how their natural strengths map to real careers — not abstract possibilities, but jobs with salaries, applied paths, and people who look like them already doing the work.
02
Value the Skills
Every skill developed — in a classroom, a camp, a workshop, or on their own — has a dollar value. We make that value visible so students invest in themselves on purpose.
03
Make it Make Cents
Learning without a path to earning is incomplete. We help students turn every opportunity, experience, and exposure into real economic power — starting now, not after graduation.
The equation is the same. Growth = Make + Save + Capture. For students, that means: discover what you can build (Make), develop skills that compound (Save), and never leave opportunities on the table (Capture).
Programs
WHAT WE BUILD
Money Moves
A complete financial literacy pipeline. Students discover a career, see what the paycheck actually looks like after taxes, build a real budget, then learn every way money can work for them. Three tools, one journey.
Audience: Students grades 8–12 · Format: Self-guided digital tools + facilitated classroom sessions
Idea-to-App Camp
Make it Make Cents · Build Something Real
A hands-on camp where students take a problem they care about and turn it into a working app prototype. No coding experience needed. Students learn product thinking, design, and basic development — and leave with something they built.
Audience
Students grades 9–12
Format
1-week intensive (in-person or hybrid) | Summer + school-year sessions
Speaking & Workshops
