Features
This contest encourages teachers and students to learn about the economy while having fun doing it! The posters illustrate basic economic concepts identified in the new Indiana Social Studies Standards, including goods and services, scarcity, human resources, opportunity cost, savings and investing, specialization, and capital resources. The annual contest is open to students from second through eighth grade. Students are encouraged at an early age to understand these concepts through contests, curriculum and training made available through the Indiana Council for Economic Education. Posters are due in the ICEE office by April 30th of each year to be included in the contest.
The 12 winning economic posters will appear in the ICEE Economic Concept Calendar, which will be published for 2008 through the generosity of Printing Partners, Inc. of Indianapolis. The students also win a $50 savings bond.
