The Stock Market Game is a free online simulation of global capital markets developed by the SIFMA Foundation for students in grades 4 through 12. Participants manage virtual investment portfolios using real market data, make strategic investment decisions, and explore how economic events shape the global economy. The program runs year-round, with a six-week Summer Session (June 29 to August 14) that features cash prize competitions for top performers. It is an outstanding opportunity for students to build real financial literacy and investing skills in a hands-on, competitive environment.
