The Wisconsin Stock Market Simulation

EconomicsWisconsin offers Wisconsin classrooms this highly successful and popular national program of the Securities Industry Foundation for Economic Education. Student teams learn about business and the economy while they compete in managing hypothetical $100,000 investment portfolios. Among the many things students participating in the SMS program learn are:

How business firms are organized
How to choose and buy stocks
How to use the daily newspaper as a source of financial information and as a supplement to the program
How daily events affect our economy
How investment contributes to economic growth
How supply and demand operate in real markets

EconomicsWisconsin provides training and curriculum materials to help teachers use student enthusiasm to teach economic concepts. Corporate sponsors are Robert W. Baird & Co, Midwest Express Airlines and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Visit the Wisconsin Stock Market Simulation web site for information on how to play, how to enter, and the new Wisconsin Stock Market Simulation.

Free Teacher Workshops: (Back)
The Wisconsin Stock Market Simulation is available to all schools in Wisconsin. To be eligible to participate, teachers new to the program are required to attend a training workshop. The teacher workshops are provided free.

We begin at 7:30 a.m. with a free complimentary full breakfast. The workshop runs from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Advance registration is necessary. Contact EconomicsWisconsin to register.
