Stock Market Game™
The Stock Market Game™ is a unique simulation offered by the Securities Industry Foundation for Economic Education and coordinated in Michigan by MCEE. This Internet based program provides an opportunity to integrate economics and technology with language arts, math and current events. The SMG program also provides an opportunity for students to apply economic concepts in a hands-on cooperative learning environment.

The Stock Market Game is available at no cost due to a generous grant from the SIFMA Foundation for Investor Education.
