Stock Game

The Stock Game is an interactive, educational, and fun learning resource where students can practice managing a virtual investment portfolio. With how-to trade tutorial videos, research and quoting tools so your students can start trading the same day they start using the platform!
Choose from stocks, bonds, mutual funds, cryptos, international exchanges and other trading settings based on the needs and focus of your class.

Budget Game

The Budget Game encourages critical thinking and decision-making, allowing students to make informed choices about budgeting, saving, managing credit responsibly and their quality of life.

“As an educator, I strongly believe that every high school student should have the opportunity to play the Budget Game before entering college. It is a game-changer when it comes to financial literacy and prepares students for the financial responsibilities they will face as young adults.” – Joseph Polwrek, Entrepreneurship Teacher at Monte Vista Christian School (Watsonville, CA)
