Econ Illinois:
The Stock Market Game program
Special Pull-out Competitions
Illinois Capitol Challenge
Illinois Capitol Challenge (ICC) is offered every fall, matching state legislators and others to schools participating in The Stock Market Game program. 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. The winning team receives a trip to Springfield to visit with their sponsoring legislator while in session. Second and third place teams receive an in-school visit and award presentation from their sponsoring legislator. This program is completely funded by a grant from CITI Foundation.
