Capitol Hill Challenge 2012

The “Capitol Hill Challenge” is open to students across the country who participate in the Stock Market Game™.

The Capitol Hill Challenge (CHC) is a special edition of The Stock Market Game™ (SMG) program that matches Members of Congress with students, teachers, and schools benefiting from SMG in their respective district or state. Since its inception in 2004, CHC has engaged nearly 1,200 U.S. Representatives and Senators with more than 30,000 students across the country. The program takes place every spring with student teams managing a hypothetical $100,000 online portfolio and investing in real stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. The classroom learning focuses on the dynamics of the global marketplace and the importance of long-term saving and investing. CHC acknowledges the accomplishments of the top five student teams and their teachers with a trip to Washington D.C. to meet their Members of Congress and tour financial landmarks and national monuments.
