With many of the academic initiatives we are doing, like our partnerships with Warwick and Loughborough University, Indiana University and RMIT University, the purpose is to enlighten the students with the capabilities of the OpenBB Terminal and how it can be used within investment clubs, courses and projects.
As part one of these initiatives, I've been introducing the OpenBB Terminal to the students at Athens University in which I go over the structure, the basics and two use-cases. The goal was to give a clear overview of some of the capabilities of the OpenBB Terminal and explain to the students how they can use the OpenBB Terminal for their market and investment reports. While I show a couple of ways to use the OpenBB Terminal, this doesn't even come close to the full capabilities as we have over 900 different commands. Be sure to check out the OpenBB Terminal product page as well.

This session was recorded and can be found below. It serves as a great introduction how to use the OpenBB Terminal. I also suggest to check out the OpenBB Documentation for a more thorough explanation of each section. It is important to note that, especially for the company analysis, there are countless of methods to perform analysis and the video just showcases one of the many methods.
