=======

simCEO is an online, dynamic simulation for grades 6-12 focused on developing entrepreneurial and economic skills within a context that easily allows for cross-disciplinary applications in an authentic environment. In simCEO, a defined group of students (classroom or larger) will:


1. each CREATE their own company
2. RESEARCH each others' companies online
3. TRADE: Manage a portfolio of $10,000 by buying and selling shares in each others' companies which immediately influences share prices.

All of this takes place in a customized environment (place, time, duration of simulation, complexity) that is set by the teacher who can also integrate content by sharing dynamic news (real of fictional) with users, encouraging users to make adjustments to their investment portfolio and/or their business plan along the way.

Participants "win" the simulation in one of two ways:

1. To be a successful entrepreneur by creating a business that ends with the highest share price
2. To be a savvy investor by ending with the largest portfolio value
