With this free online competition, teachers and students throughout the state of Rhode Island can participate in the state's EconChallenge, regardless of travel or budgetary constraints. In the first round, each team of three to four students will take online quizzes that cover topics in macro, micro and international economics. Once it begins, students from around the country will be able to demonstrate their economic literacy through an online rapid fire exam, taken at their schools under the supervision of their teacher or designated proctor.

Division Eligibility

All Rhode Island high school and middle school students are eligible.  Schools may enter multiple teams of 3-4 students each in their qualifying divisions. After they register their students, teachers will be able to create their student teams of 3-4 students each.

Divisions

The "Adam Smith" Division is restricted to high school students enrolled in courses labeled AP, IB, honors, differentiated, or college level. Any economics course offered as a two-semester course also falls in this division.

The "David Ricardo" Division is restricted to high school students enrolled in one-semester or less high school course not labeled as AP, IB, honors, differentiated, or college level.

There is also a "Milton Friedman" Division, which is restricted to students in grades 6 -8.
