Arizona's Economics Challenge              

The Arizona Economics Challenge (EC) invites teachers to engage their students in an academic competition showcasing student's knowledge of economics. This competition is held for students to compete in teams of 3 or 4 and test their knowledge on economics, monetary policy, international trade, and markets. The top scoring teams from the online testing round of each division will compete in an exciting, fast paced, in-person Quiz Bowl.

This is a fun and competitive way to engage students more fully in their learning while assessing how well they are meeting economic standards. There is no fee to participate!
