Stock Market Game™
The Stock Market Game™ is a unique simulation offered by the Securities
Industry Foundation for Economic Education and coordinated in Michigan
by MCEE. This Internet based program provides an opportunity to integrate
economics and technology with language arts, math and current events.
The SMG program also provides an opportunity for students to apply economic
concepts in a hands-on cooperative learning environment.
The Fall 2001 dates to participate in the ten-week program are 10/1/2001 or 10/8/01. The cost of student team participation is $16 per team with every 15th team free. If your district is a DEEP District (see list in on the Programs page), student teams are discounted to $15 per team with every 15th team free.
Congratulations to the Spring 2001 first place student teams in each division, which are from the following schools:
| February 20th program | Marine City Middle School | |
| Harbor Springs High School | ||
