Student Enterprise Program (StEP)
 engages students and teachers in the design and operation of a functioning market economy in their schools. In StEP, students create a miniature society that mirrors the “real world;” they form their own government, develop student-run businesses, earn, spend, save and invest school currency. This program provides students with financial education, all while engaging them in the core academic curriculum. Over the years, the program has increased student attendance rates and raised achievement scores in over 25 local schools.

The Stock Market Game (SMG)
 is an online educational program designed to teach students about investments and financial markets by using a “real time” stock and mutual fund trading system. Teachers and students begin with a simulated $100,000 portfolio which they manage over the course of a 10-week competition. The SMG is being used in hundreds of classrooms locally as an excellent learning tool for students in grades 4-12. SMG helps teach and reinforce state and national curriculum standards in math, social studies, economics, technology and business.
