About the Economics Challenge
A program true to our
economics mission, the Kansas National Economics Challenge is comprised
of online quizzes and in-person competitions. Beginners to experts in
economics, all high school students (grades 9-12) are encouraged
to participate in this FREE program to showcase what they are
learning in class.
Beginners will compete
in the David Ricardo division, and more advanced students will compete
in the Adam Smith division. Division rules can be found at the
registration page and should be reviewed to ensure your teams are in the
correct division. First, students in both the beginning and
advanced divisions will compete in an online preliminary test round. Top
online teams from both divisions will advance to the State Competition.
Adam Smith winners will have an opportunity to participate in a national
semi-final round and could have the chance to travel free to National.
No previous economics experience is necessary to join the game!
