Local students simulate working in the stock market exchange

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) – Local high schoolers got a chance to simulate working in the stock exchange. And that’s thanks to the Junior Achievement Stock Market Challenge, put on by FHL Bank Topeka.

It’s a fast-paced, live stock market simulation for high school students designed by Junior Achievement.

Students typically prepare by completing the Junior Achievement “Take stock in your future” program, which covers stock market basics before the “Live Challenge” simulation.
