Jr. High students are finishing up their first STEM challenge, making a football field, football, 1 goal post, and a launcher or kicker. Many of them are also beginning The Stock Market Game as an optional activity. The 8th graders are branching out in their investments this year by learning how to trade bonds and mutual funds. The 7th graders will start out with the basics of trading stocks. Some students have elected to do a logic puzzle each week and some others are working on independent research projects.
