Summary

To celebrate Economic Education Month, K-12 students participated in a challenge where they could answer, How does your local economy impact the global economy in a short video, and win cash prizes and a trip to Japan. The goal was to engage students directly with real economic dynamics through interactive video creation, encouraging them to share their unique local perspectives on how their community connects worldwide. This approach helped students visualize complex business relationships, fostering a deeper understanding of how daily decisions ripple across borders.

The event encouraged families to discuss their personal and community decision-making processes alongside teachers, who then invited local business leaders to visit the classrooms to compare their strategies to everyday choices made by families. By combining direct student interaction with external expert insights, the school aimed to bridge the gap between local business practices and global economic trends, ensuring that every student was able to articulate their specific economic contributions effectively.
