- [00:00:10.252]Well, the finance challenge is actually something like
- [00:00:12.053]put together by the Nebraska council and economic education.
- [00:00:14.969]Pretty much promotes like budgeting and
- [00:00:16.430]general financial literacy in a competitive environment.
- [00:00:19.329]I signed up students to participate in the challenge,
- [00:00:21.738]and I open it up to my college personal finance class
- [00:00:24.494]and some of my FBLA students.
- [00:00:26.080]I think it's important for all students
- [00:00:27.571]to become financially aware, especially with
- [00:00:29.925]the changes that we're seeing in finance anymoore,
- [00:00:32.434]and how easy it is to get credit.
- [00:00:33.682]It really just teaches you how to work with a team,
- [00:00:35.965]how to cooperate, and just how to get things done
- [00:00:37.956]in a short amount of time.
- [00:00:39.194]We loved it, it was awesome.
- [00:00:40.223]I had super competitive kids, and we did well.
- [00:00:42.715]So, that always generates more interest going forward.
- [00:00:45.802]Definitely, just having the competition really promoted
- [00:00:49.222]my studies in finance throughout high school.
