The Stock Market Game is the perfect tool to help your students build a fundamental understanding of investing while providing them with real-world skills practice.
Hosted by the SIFMA Foundation, the online competition is free for DECA members. In teams of one to three DECA members, participants develop and manage a virtual investment portfolio of stocks, bonds and mutual funds. The event began on September 13, but there’s still time to register your students!
