Participants develop skills in math, language arts, research and critical thinking, while building and maintaining a stock portfolio.

The unique competition gives students real-world experience in investing, requiring them to make decisions about the direction of markets, buying or selling stocks, and completing transactions online. With real-time portfolio statement updates, teams are able to see how their team ranks compared to others, as well as the current value of their stocks.

Winning teams will be celebrated at an awards ceremony this spring. To learn more about the Stock Market Game™, visit https://www.econed.org/page-18300.
