A group of 60 sixth-grade students at Shaler Area Elementary School in Glenshaw, Pennsylvania, are investing $1 million in fictitious money into the stock market for a special project.

After completing their coursework, STEM coordinator and teacher of the gifted Michael Penn helps them choose what stocks to follow. Later, they’ll partner with a fellow student to decide what stocks to trade or keep.

The last step is a final analysis and presentation before their teachers, with the students creating graphs to see how things have changed over time.
