Description
** Registration for this contest is now cclosed. **
The Stock Market contest is aimed at 6th through 12th graders (younger students may play if they are familiar with how the Stock Market works). There is no teaching involved, so if students know nothing about the Stock Market they will need to educate themselves by watching videos, reading books, or speaking to their parents. We will give some ideas on how to select stocks and link to some helpful videos.
Students will have $100 000 (virtual money) to invest on the NYSE or NASDAQ. They can invest as much of that amount as they want to – no more than $20 000 on any stock.
They will be able to see how well they are doing relative to the others in our contest.
At the end of the time, 50% of the money we receive as fees will be distributed to the top students as gift cards. (For example, with 10 students playing the winner will get $15 and second place $10; with 20 students the winner would get $25, second place $15, and third place $10).
We will be using Howthemarketworks.com as the platform for the game. Instructions will be provided in a virtual classroom in Canvas (a learning management system).
Game dates: June 1 until July 31, 2021
Prizes: First place is guaranteed at least $15 (more money and more places receiving prizes will depend on number of entrants)
Registration will remain open until June 15, 2021.
