NYSE FINANCIAL FUTURE CHALLENGE:
The challenge we launched yesterday has two components to help teach kids financial literacy and is sponsored by NYSE Foundation and K12. Over the next 3 months, we will be providing parents and educators with activities and downloadable materials designed to engage kids in the financial world. We are also accepting entries into the Financial Future Challenge – a challenge to young people to tell us how to teach kids about the stock market. We are looking for a product, idea, or process that can be used to teach your friends and classmates some aspect of financial literacy, investing and/or the stock market.
- One Grand Prize winner will receive:
$2500 to jumpstart a stock portfolio
A special celebratory event at NYSE
- Four Runners Up will receive:
A sponsor prize package
- Educator Award:
The Grand Prize winner will be able to nominate a teacher/mentor who was most instrumental in their success to receive recognition and a $250 retail gift card.
The competition runs until August 31, 2009 and more information can be found at http://www.bkfk.com/FinancialFuture/
