NCCEE is proud to present these programs which enhance the teaching and learning experiences for NC educators and students.  All of our program winners are invited to attend regional awards banquets in the spring of each year where their accomplishments are celebrated with their parents, teachers, educational leaders and prominent business leaders.

Stock Market Game™-Grades 4-College/Adult

The Stock Market Game gives students the chance to invest a hypothetical $100,000 in a real-time portfolio and compete against other NC students for cash prizes. They think they're playing a game. You know they're learning economic and financial concepts they'll use for the rest of their lives.  Follow up the SMG experience by entering InvestWrite*, a national essay competition.  The NC Stock Market Game is sponsored by Merrill Lynch.

The NCCEE is proud to partner with DPI in offering C&E teachers the opportunity to assist their efforts in fulfilling the State Standards and Personal Financial Literacy guidelines. The SMG is an online, interactive stock market simulation with a complete online curriculum that teaches the importance of saving and investing. While students learn about our market economy, they are also strengthening 21st century skills. To learn more about the SMG program, free workshops and webinars for teachers new to the program click on the workshops tab.

The spring session of the Stock Market Game (SMG) is being offered at no cost to all North Carolina Civics & Economics teachers and students courtesy of a grant provided by the Department of Public Instruction. This was granted in recognition of the program’s outstanding ability to motivate students and provide proven results!
