Educational platform. GETI is a learning tool. Market data, charts, news summaries, and AI outputs are provided for educational purposes only — not investment or financial advice. Always consult a qualified professional before making investment decisions.
Four Disciplines. One Framework.
Understanding any one of these in isolation is not enough. GETI connects them so students see the full picture.
Economics
Read macro trends, central bank policy, and global trade — the forces behind every market move.
Technology
Track AI, semiconductors, and digital disruption — and their geopolitical and economic impact.
Investment
Apply geopolitical and economic insight to portfolios, assets, and long-term financial decisions.
Who it's for
Students, parents, and families.
GETI isn't a one-generation thing. It's built so children and parents can read the world through the same framework — and discuss it across the dinner table.

Three dinner-table prompts on every briefing
Register at least one child on your account, and every GETI briefing arrives with three discussion prompts above the headlines — grounded in today's actual stories. (1) A cross-discipline connection, (2) a "whose perspective is missing?" question, (3) a dinner-table prompt a 10-year-old can engage with. Turns the GETI framework itself into the starting point for a family conversation.
Sample — from a recent briefing
"Today's economic data said prices went up faster than people's paychecks did (CPI +3.8%, real wages −0.3%). If everything at the grocery store cost more next year but your allowance didn't go up, what would you decide to stop buying first — and what does that choice say about what you actually value?"
There are no right answers. GETI is a tool for thinking, not consuming.

Why now
In an age of AI and disinformation, reading the world is a survival skill.
AI now generates content faster than any human can fact-check. Algorithms show you only what you already agree with. For kids and adults alike, the ability to read the world from multiple perspectives — not just one — is no longer optional.
01
We don't pick a side
Every briefing cites at least 8 distinct publishers — left, center, right, US and international, wire services and specialist outlets. No single publisher more than 3 times. We don't tell you what to think; we show you the full conversation.
02
What schools don't teach
Few schools teach real-time global events through an interdisciplinary lens — geopolitics, markets, technology, and investing as one connected story. In households where parents read the news in one language and kids read it in another, the gap is wider: no shared frame for the dinner-table conversation.
03
For kids AND adults
From 4th grade through adult parents — same framework, different depth. Our students run a simulated portfolio every week and many beat the market. We also offer a native-language parent track (Korean today, more languages on the way) so the whole family can read the world together.
Methodology
Same headline. Five developmental stages.
Every story carries a family-discussion prompt at each of five developmental windows — ages 3-4, 5-7, 8-10, 11-13, and 14-17. Calibrated to Piaget, CFPB Money As You Grow, NAEYC DAP, AAP digital-media guidance, AI4K12, SHEG lateral-reading research, and the APA 2004 Task Force on Advertising to Children.

Source diversity
We don't just collect headlines. We collect viewpoints.
Most news sites stack left and right headlines and call it 'balance.' But wire-style headlines are the same facts from different beats — they rarely surface the viewpoint contrast you can actually discuss. Every GETI briefing includes at least one opinion, editorial, column, or analysis piece from the LEFT and one from the RIGHT — same event, different framings. That contrast is where family conversation starts.

On politically contested stories, we quote both framings — "Western officials describe X as Y; Beijing / Moscow / Tehran counters Z." We don't editorialize. We report the disagreement.

Our Courses
Three GETI tracks
All tracks include live Zoom + YouTube recordings + KakaoTalk group chat + daily GETI briefing + simulated portfolio + Premium platform access.
GETI Explorers
Ages 9–13$125/mo
Schedule
Sat 09:00 KST
GETI for grades 4–7. Every Saturday morning we work through the week's most important global news — geopolitics, economics, technology, and investment — taught in English at a kid's pace. Designed especially for bilingual and ELL students: real-world current events become the substrate to practice English while learning how the world actually works. Students keep a simulated portfolio, join a KakaoTalk discussion group, and get full access to the daily GETI briefing in both English and Korean. No prior knowledge required — curiosity is the only prerequisite.
GETI Analysts
Ages 12–16$125/mo
Schedule
Sat 08:00 KST
GETI for grades 7–9. The middle-school track goes deeper than Explorers — students don't just learn what happened, they learn to think like analysts. Every Saturday we connect the week's news across the four GETI disciplines: how a Fed decision affects emerging-market currencies, why a chip-export rule reshapes investment flows, how a regional conflict moves oil and food prices. Students run a simulated portfolio with real market data and have weekly thesis discussions in our KakaoTalk group. Best fit for students ready to go beyond headlines and ask "and then what?"
GETI K-Parents
$125/mo
Schedule
Wed 22:30 KST
GETI for Korean-speaking parents. Taught entirely in Korean, this track gives parents the same framework their children are learning — so the dinner-table conversation about geopolitics, economics, technology, and investment can actually happen. Wednesday evenings (KST) we cover the week's most consequential news, with the same source-diversity standards as our youth tracks: at least 8 publishers across the political spectrum, no single outlet relied on more than three times. KakaoTalk group, daily bilingual briefing, and the simulated portfolio are all included. Built for parents who want to engage with their child's GETI experience — and for anyone who wants to read the world without the English barrier.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the GETI framework?
GETI stands for Geopolitics, Economics, Technology, and Investment — four disciplines that together provide a complete framework for understanding how the modern world works. Rather than teaching each subject in isolation, GETI shows how global events, economic forces, technological change, and investment decisions are all deeply interconnected.
Who is GETI designed for?
GETI courses are designed for curious students of all ages and their families. We currently offer three live tracks: GETI Explorers (grades 4–7, English), GETI Analysts (grades 7–9, English), and a parallel adult track taught in Korean. The platform is primarily English-based, with content also delivered in your native language — Korean is the first language supported, with more on the way. That makes it a strong fit for ELL students, bilingual households, and globally-minded families anywhere in the world.
My child is only in 4th–7th grade — isn't this too advanced?
That's exactly why we built GETI Explorers. Schools don't cover real-time world events in an interdisciplinary way, and most parents don't feel equipped to explain them — especially in households where parents read the news in one language and kids read it in another. GETI uses current world events as a substrate for kids to practice English and learn how the world actually works at the same time. Our students run a simulated portfolio every week, and many of them beat the market.
At what age should children start learning about geopolitics and investing?
GETI courses start as young as age 9, and there is no upper age limit — many parents and adult learners follow the curriculum alongside their children. Research shows that financial and global literacy learned early leads to significantly better decision-making in adulthood. Many GETI courses are specifically designed for parent-child learning together, so younger children can start with parental guidance.
How is GETI different from Khan Academy or other free courses?
GETI is unique in three ways: (1) It integrates all four disciplines — Geopolitics, Economics, Technology, and Investment — into a single coherent framework; (2) It is fully bilingual in English and Korean; (3) It publishes regular GETI Briefings — expert analyses of current global events in G/E/T/I format — keeping content current and relevant.
Can parents and children learn together on GETI?
Yes. GETI is built with family learning in mind. The Family account feature allows parents to add children to their account, and GETI Briefings are designed as conversation-starters that parents and children can discuss together. Many courses include parent discussion guides.
Is GETI available in Korean?
Yes. GETI is fully bilingual. All courses, briefings, and platform content are available in both English (영어) and Korean (한국어). The platform automatically serves the appropriate language based on your preference.
