Competitions

  1. Manage your Money | Budgeting Game – Students will earn income, pay bills, build up their savings, credit score and net worth while finding a balance in their quality of life.
  2. Build your Investment Portfolio | Stock Market Game – Students are given $100,000 to invest in the Stock Market. The aim is to build a virtual portfolio of Stocks, Bonds ETFs and Mutual Funds and get a return on their investment. The stocks reflect the real world and is updated in real time.
