International Stock Market Game: Investing and Human Nature

Grow alongside the stock market! Students collaborate with like-minded peers as they create an investment portfolio with $100,000 of game money. Trades and gains and losses in their portfolio will be determined by the performance of the real stock market!

While playing the game, kids will gain further insight into companies of interest, the variety of investment vehicles, the importance of diversification, investment objectives and risks, as well as critical resources available to aid in choosing their investments.

Mother-Daughter Project

The Mother-Daughter Project empowers mothers (fathers also welcome) to connect with their daughters in ways that help them to thrive, especially through adolescence. In bringing mothers together for this important dialogue, we will learn from the author in person, as well as from one another, as we share our experiences and grow together in a warm, supportive community of mothers raising daughters.

Author Dr. Hamkins and Sonia Luginbughl (who created a still-strong community of mothers and daughters six years ago to emulate the ideas and strategies in the book) will both be assisting to facilitate discussions.

Screenagers

Junior Presidents will host a screening and discussion of this universal and timely documentary. “In SCREENAGERS, as with her award-winning documentaries on mental health, Delaney takes a deeply personal approach as she probes into the vulnerable corners of family life, including her own, to explore struggles over social media, video games, academics and internet addiction. Through poignant, and unexpectedly funny stories, along with surprising insights from authors, psychologists, and brain scientists, SCREENAGERS reveals how tech time impacts kids’ development and offers solutions on how adults can empower kids to best navigate the digital world and find balance.”

Junior Presidents coaches will facilitate a deep discussion as like-minded parents collaborate on how best to help their children find the balance discussed in the film between their busy lives and screen time.
