In addition to the tens of thousands of Georgia students GCEE reaches indirectly through teacher training, we also directly touch the lives of thousands that participate in Mini-Society and our student competitons like the Econ Games, Personal Finance Challenge, Econ Challenge, and the Stock Market Game.  These activities provide students opportunities to apply their knowledge of economics and personal finance in real-life situations.  Students participating in these activities experience the benefits of learning economics and personal finance in unique ways making it easier for their teachers to teach complex economic and personal finance topics through examples.
