Great Depression Stock Market Challenge
Funded Jan 31, 2023Once again, thank you for your generosity. Bridging the gap between the past and the present allowed the students the opportunity to understand how banking and financial regulatory bodies work. Researching and choosing their stocks and monitoring one's stocks chosen are necessary for them to understand how investments work both negatively and positively. Post activity, students answered open-ended questions and discussed their stock choices on whether they would have chosen the same ones and if they would have purchased more shares of their chosen stocks. The financial literacy learned in our inclusion class about long-term investments, quarterly earnings and dividends to name a few are a positive step in the right direction to be life long learners in the world of trading. Winning the gift certificates to amazon students became even more competitive and truly took their time in analyzing and choosing their stock options. The gift certificates were an added bonus as our district has a high poverty rate and, to be frank, making money is also the incentive in the stock market. Thank you, again! ”

Funded Oct 25, 2021I would just like to thank you for your contribution to our project! This project has shown our students what investing in the stock market looks like. Also, they now see how volatile the market can be. and how world events impact the market as well.This will ultimately go a long way to teaching students about fiscal responsibility and help them develop financial literacy skills. The winners, the students who "purchased" the stocks that ended up making them the most amount of money, will receive their Amazon gift cards today! This is all thanks to your contribution. Without you, this project doesn't happen, and the students only earn a grade. Now, they will earn something more!”
