Ohio Stock Market Challenge
Teach your students an important lesson about the stock market by playing the Ohio Stock Market Challenge (OSMC)!
Students form teams to create and manage a hypothetical portfolio of stocks, bonds and mutual funds via personal computer. The OSMC is open to students in grades 4 through 12 and is split into a middle school and high school division. Each team has $100,000.00 in "imaginary funds" to invest. The top three teams in elementary/middle school and high school divisions with the greatest gains in their portfolio in the Wright State University region will win cash prizes and an awards luncheon.
The OSMC is a resource that reinforces concepts and builds skills within Mathematics, Social Studies, Economics, Language Arts, Business Education and Technology curricula.
