Students work in teams to design, manufacture, and sell string bracelets as they learn about finance and the stock market. The object of the course is to become the wealthiest team in the class. The course guide includes a detailed outline of each day's instruction in script form along with teaching tips, options, and background information. In a sample of the material, on the first day, Design Day, the concept of a business is introduced, students are divided into groups, and the officers for each company are chosen. Each individual draws a sample bracelet and the group chooses which design to use to create a prototype bracelet.
Students also learn about different job positions in a company and how the stock market works.
On Manufacturing Day, students learn about different ways to manufacture their product and what a banker does to help businesses. They then purchase materials and manufacture their team's chosen design. Students learn about pricing products and the importance of accurate measurements. Market Day teaches students how to interest customers in buying their product. Finally, on Finance Day students create financial statements from their records and use math skills to analyze their businesses in terms of highest sales, lowest expenses, and the highest team value.
