Bourstad

Bourstad is a stock market simulation that allows students to become familiar with the world of economics, finance, and investment.

« Oh no, I'm losing money! »

In this month-long stock market simulation, I was allowed to invest $200,000 in virtual money. Throughout this simulation, I experienced several highs and lows.

Losing and winning money was part of the game. Throughout this simulation, I learned about decision making, investment strategies, financial planning, and various economic concepts.

Overall, this workshop provided a controlled space for me to learn about the stock market and how it works. I am happy to say today that I feel more confident about the world of investing, which was once so intimidating to me.
