The Bowl
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York invites upper elementary and middle school social studies classes to participate in the Econ Bowl.

How It Works
Social studies classes participate in an academic competition in which they investigate a local, national or global problem related to economics. Students research the problem and propose possible solutions using a variety of sources. A 15-minute presentation is followed by a 10-minute question and answer session conducted by New York Fed officials. Prizes include trophies and plaques.
