Wealth doesn't grow overnight — it's built the same way a tree grows: with patience, the right conditions, and time. The Stock Market Game™ by the SIFMA Foundation (Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association) plants that understanding early, giving school-aged children a hands-on way to learn by practicing investing with virtual money in a real, simulated market.

Open to students grades 4–12, the Summer Session runs six weeks (June 29–August 14). Participants manage a virtual portfolio using real market data and learn the roots of smart investing, competing for cash prizes along the way.

The earlier kids start learning these principles, the stronger the foundation for the financial decisions they'll make for years to come. Educational webinars are also available throughout the session to support both students and the adults guiding them.

Summer Session is open now. Learn more and sign up: https://www.stockmarketgame.org/
