By Kids For Kids, along with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) Foundation and K-12, is looking to kids to help teach other kids about the stock market.
The NYSE Foundation Financial Future Challenge asks kids to submit new products, processes and general ideas that will excite kids to learn more about the stock market and investing. Ideas can run the gamut from books to video games to websites.
To get kids started the site also offers stock market fundamentals about what a stock is, how to buy and sell, explanations on why they go up and down, and how to research companies you might want to invest in.
The grand-prize winner receives $2,500 to jumpstart a stock portfolio and a special celebratory event at the NYSE. The challenge ends September 30th, 2009.
As you know, we are huge advocates of financial education, and BKFK might just have it. If you want to reach kids, ask a kid how.
