Stock Market Game
Grades: 3-12
Cost: FREE
The Stock Market Game is a simulation of stock market investing for students. Starting with $100,000, kids can buy, sell, and short stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and ETFs. SMG is a great way to lean the principals of investing. Altair will create a free account for all interested children, grades 3-12. The pandemic has fostered a very interesting economic cycle. Investing in the market helps students become more actively involved and interested in current events and the complex dynamics of our economy.
