This interactive, instructional program reinforces students language arts, social studies, mathematics, and technology skills by giving them real-life application. Over 8,300 square feet of a stage-set design of a town is the learning lab for students to become citizens of their own city for a day. By preparing for and performing the roles of producers, consumers, and entrepreneurs, students learn firsthand about free enterprise, and how it will affect their futures. The day at Exchange City was the capstone event to the curriculum that students had been learning for six weeks in their classrooms. Exchange City has its own postal service.
Children learn that businesses depend on communication with other businesses to operate.
