The Trade Game

This one-of-a-kind experience raises awareness of economics and financial education. The "Trade Game" simulates a lesson plan provided to teachers through the "Teaching Free-Enterprise in Arkansas" professional development series. Attendees are given a bag of goodies which they may trade for items they find more desirable, demonstrating the value of voluntary trade. It's just one way we take the "EEK" out of economics for teachers!

Think Inside the Box

This fundraiser is similar to a lesson plan offered as part of the iNSPIRE curriculum surrounding the story of Madame C.J. Walker, giving students the opportunity to learn product development by building products using limited materials. Event attendees hone their entrepreneurial skills as they present to a panel of guest judges a product of their design using limited materials they've been provided. 

This event was held in March 2021
