Econ Illinois:
Economics Challenge
Celebrating 15 Years!
Econ Challenge is a competition for teams of high school students in which they test their knowledge of economics. Econ Challenge is competitive and fun, and offers an atmosphere where economic knowledge is tested and recognized. Student participants receive certificates of recognition, awards and accolades.
The competition is open to teachers of Illinois high school students enrolled in an economics or economics-related course during the current school year. Students compete in teams of four, and may participate as a member of only one team.
Teachers in Illinois begin the Challenge by registering student teams in "EconChallenge ONLINE!" during December and January. This competition is not restricted by geographic location or budgetary constraints. Students from all over the state may easily participate. Teachers may enter multiple teams. Participation is free.
What about consumer education or personal finance students?
Students not enrolled in an economics or economics-related course during the current school year, but taking a state-mandated consumer education or personal finance course may participate in Econ Illinois' Illinois Personal Finance Challenge.
