Econ Illinois:
The Stock Market Game program
Illinois Capitol Challenge
Illinois Capitol Challenge (ICC) is offered every fall, matching state legislators and others to SMG schools. The program is funded by Citigroup Foundation.
Teachers who register for The Stock Market Game, and whose State Senator or Representative has registered for Illinois Capitol Challenge, are invited to identify two student teams ("Super Teams") to be sponsored in name only by that legislator.
Students compete in their usual SMG region, for prizes and recognition - and also compete with other ICC teams in a separate pull-out of the SMG.
At the end of the fall session, teachers of the top three teams win cash awards; the top teams win a trip to Springfield, the second and third place teams win certificates of award and medals and an in-school award ceremony. Legislative sponsors visit their schools to learn how the students are managing their SMG portfolios, and better understand the teaching/learning process.
Teachers or legislators with any questions should contact Econ Illinois.
