Econ Illinois - Illinois Council on Economic Education:
Economics Challenge
2009-2010 COMPETITION IS ONLINE ONLY!
This year's Illinois Economics Challenge is online only, due to loss of ISBE funding for Econ Illinois programs. Watch for the return of Economics Challenge State Finals in the future!
The winter-spring competition is open for registration December 1, to teachers of Illinois high school students enrolled in an economics or economics-related course during the current school year. Students compete in teams of four, and may participate as a member of only one team. Online testing takes place April 5 - 16, 2010.
In previous years, students were divided into two divisions, determined by the level of economic coursework taken within that school year. For this school year, there will be no distinction between coursework.
For specific information related to registration and the online process, refer to the EconChallenge ONLINE! web site. The ONLINE! web site will be updated as details of the 2010 program are confirmed.
What about consumer education or personal finance students?
Students not enrolled in an economics or economics-related course during the current school year, but taking a state-mandated consumer education or personal finance course may participate in Econ Illinois' Illinois Personal Finance Challenge.
