Stock Market Challenge 2025 -- Corporate College East
Each team of 3-4 is issued $1,000,000 of “mock stock” and must buy and sell shares in fictitious companies throughout a simulated 60-day trading period. Trading is fast, fun, and furious with a new day starting every 60 seconds! The goal of each team is to achieve the greatest rate of return on investment by the end of the simulated trading session.
Before the competition, students prepare with classroom curriculum that includes five 45-minute sessions, which introduce students to basic concepts about how the stock market works and the impact of current events on the stock market. This program also includes multiple self-guided extension activities that engage students in deeper learning about the stock market and investing.
Key objectives:
- Understand foundational concepts of stocks.
- Analyze today’s stock market.
- Put market knowledge and skills into practice.
- Understand the benefits and challenges of investing in the stock market as part of a broader, long-term investment strategy.
- Examine the risks and rewards of trading.
