Fed Challenge 2002
An economics competition for high school students

Are you looking for a way to bring real-world economics into your classroom? Fed Challenge, a competition for high school students sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, calls for five-member teams to do research and analyze data about current economic conditions and then recommend a specific course for monetary policy. The student teams make 15-minute presentations before a panel of judges in a mock Federal Open Market Committee forum, followed by 15 minutes of Q & A.
