13-Year-Old Entrepreneur Teaching Kids to Invest on YouTube
Kids Teaching Kids is a growing YouTube channel where kids teach other kids how money works — including saving, investing, budgeting, and more — through simple, fun, and visual videos.
My name is Nicolas Beaupain, and I am an incoming 8th grader. The channel is built on the belief that peer-to-peer learning is powerful. Instead of adults lecturing kids, this platform shows what happens when a kid explains finance in a way that other kids actually understand.
I started Kids Teaching Kids because I realized most kids don’t learn about money — not in school, not online, and definitely not in a way that’s fun or easy to understand.
When I first got interested in investing, I noticed everything was made for adults. The language was confusing, the videos were boring, and no one talked to us like we were smart enough to get it. So I thought: What if someone our age explained it?
That’s why I made this channel — to help kids like me learn how money works early. I believe if we start young, we’ll grow up way more prepared for real life. And sometimes, kids teaching kids is just more relatable than adults trying to do it for us.
Why its important:
- Financial literacy is barely taught in most U.S. schools
- Gen Z and Gen Alpha are facing more complex money choices earlier than ever
- A 13-year-old teaching investing flips the script on traditional education
- Peer-to-peer education is proven to work — especially in digital learning
This is a story about youth empowerment, entrepreneurship, and changing the way kids learn. I am not just making videos — I am building a movement to make financial education cool and accessible for kids everywhere.
