Stock Market Challenge/Financial Literacy

The Stock Market Game is an online simulation of the global capital markets and engages students in grades 4-12 in the world of economics, investing and personal finance with the goal of preparing them for financially independent futures. Participants are given a virtual $100,000 to invest in stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. Played as a team of 3-5 members, students develop and enhance skills in leadership, management, research, problem solving, and team-building.

No prior knowledge of finance or the stock market is required to play. Teachers are provided with all of the resources necessary for a seamless transition into the game, including instructional videos, lesson plans, activities, and open communication with their local Stock Market Game coordinator.
