Stock Market Club

The Pathways Schools / Silver Spring, MD

2024

YES developed and piloted the Club to help high school students acquire and practice the fundamentals of investing. They learned key concepts such as the time value of money, risk management, return on investment, and opportunity cost. They learned how to pick and track stocks on the NASDAQ and NYSE stock exchanges by participating in The Stock Market Game (a simulated trading platform using real-time data) using $100K in virtual cash to invest and track. 

Funding provided by area businesses.
