The Stock Market Game Spring and Year Long Winners

Congratulations to the 2021 winning Stock Market Game teams!

We are excited to share the winning Stock Market Game students, teachers, and schools for our 2021 Year Long, Spring, and Allianz Challenge sessions and look forward to celebrating our winning teams at our virtual Awards Ceremonies!

The Stock Market Game is an online investing simulation for students in grades 4 – 12. Students works in teams to manage their $100,000 investment portfolio.

Teams are ranked within their age division (elementary, junior high, and high school) based on total portfolio value. Hundreds of teams participated in The Stock Market Game this year – to land a spot in the top 5 is quite the accomplishment!

To our winning students: Congratulations on your savvy investments! We hope you enjoyed the experience and will take your knowledge of investing well into the future.

To our winning teachers: Thank you for your commitment to providing students with valuable and hands-on learning experiences. We are grateful for your partnership!
