The $mart Indiana Stock Market Program allows your students to have the most updated, realistic trading experience.
This fall, teachers can use the Stock Market Simulation with standard rules, or their students can opt into the new, “Take Stock in Indiana” competition. In addition, the Smart Indiana Essay Competition, and $mart Indiana Infographic Competitions are available to any Indiana students who participate in one of our stock competitions. Then, in the spring, even more competitions will be available for students including the, “Financial Markets Competition,” and the “Commodities Challenge.” Finally, teachers have the opportunity to participate in simulations that are not competitive (enrichment sessions). These simulations will be available throughout the year.
We've added some new features in the $mart Indiana Stock Market Program, For example, it will be easy to link your classroom with a local volunteer, thereby strengthening community connections between schools and financial professionals. Teachers, please tell your local investment and banking professionals, and friends about this opportunity.
We are excited about this new opportunity and we hope you are too. To check out our new options or to register, go to http://www.econed-in.org/stockmarket.asp or www.indianasms.stocktrak.com For questions, or to request a teacher workshop, contact J.W. Fansler at jwfansle@purdue.edu

In 2016, Econ Camp will be offered at Camp Tecumseh near Brookston, IN on October 19 and 20, 2016 or at Santa's Lodge in Santa Claus, IN on October 26 and 27, 2016.
