What is a mini economy, and how can you make it work in your classroom? Spend the day with us—lunch included—as we explore simple, practical ways to set up a classroom economy, guide students in creating and selling products or services, and give young entrepreneurs the chance to test their skills in a classroom marketplace. You’ll leave with ready-to-use ideas, helpful resources, and the confidence to create a meaningful mini economy without making it overwhelming.
