The Economics Arkansas $10 Challenge
Do you have students who have an entrepreneurial mindset? Consider introducing them to the $10 Challenge.
Stephens Inc. has created a series of videos that spotlight the story of entrepreneurs who were ordinary individuals that did extraordinary things in the world of business. Economics Arkansas has created 12 lessons to accompany the videos and can be found on the iNSPIRE Lesson Plans page.
In this competition, students take $10 of their own money and launch a new business venture. Students work independently to submit a descriptive story of their business venture(s), including a timeline of activities and a personal response to the question: "What did you learn through this experience?" These stories must be submitted as an 18 - 27 panel graphic novel created through Pixton, using the comic book feature. A free access code will be provided to all participants.
Both winning teachers and students receive cash prizes (up to $300 for students and $200 for teachers), certificates, and medallions.
