49 Brookland GT students grade 6th-8th grade attended The Scarlet to Black Financial Wellness Challenge today at ASU!
They were there with 200 other 6th - 8th graders from around northeast Arkansas to compete in the Financial Wellness Competition. They competed to see who could build the biggest tower with limited funds, and went through a reality fair where they were randomly given a career and average income for that career in Arkansas, and went to different areas where they had to make decisions about their housing, transportation, etc and then meet with a budget expert to determine if they stayed in their budget.
