Bring economics to life in your classroom with our Mini Economy Workshop! This interactive session equips educators with tools to create a classroom economy that teaches students essential concepts like entrepreneurship, decision making, supply and demand, opportunity cost, and production to name a few.
Through hands-on activities and practical strategies, you’ll learn how to design a Mini Economy that engages students and encourages real-world decision-making. Discover how to incorporate economic principles into your curriculum seamlessly while fostering critical thinking and collaboration.
