Enter your high school students in the 2008 NCEE/Goldman Sachs Foundation National Economics Challenge! Begin by entering the competition in your state. There are competitions being held in 35 states. Each competition encourages students to apply their economics knowledge, work in teams, and is not only fun but offers prizes. There are two divisions--the Adam Smith Division for students currently taking an Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, honors, college level, or two-semester class, and the David Ricardo Division for students enrolled in all other general economics or one-semester economics classes. The winning teams from both divisions of the state competitions will advance to the online regional competitions to be held April 29, 2008, 3:00 p.m. EST. The regional winners and their teachers will each receive $1,000 U.S. Savings Bonds, and the runner-up teams and their teachers will each receive $500 U.S. Savings Bonds. The winning teams from both divisions of the three regional competitions will advance to compete at the national finals in New York City on May 17-19, 2008. In addition, a “wild card” team representing the highest scoring second place finisher in each division of the online regional will also advance to compete in the national finals. Each member of the national championship teams and their teachers will receive $3,000 U.S. Savings Bonds, and the runner-up teams and their teachers will receive $1,500 U.S. Savings Bonds. Most travel expenses for the national competition will be paid by NCEE. The regional competition will be conducted online, therefore no travel will be required.
