Description

This immersive experience includes behind-the-scenes tours highlighting the business, IT, and marketing operations that power a professional sports event. After exploring these career pathways, students attend the game to see these roles in action.

Prior to participating in budgeting simulation games, students engage in interactive stations focused on personal finance. They meet with professionals from lending institutions, credit unions, and other financial organizations to learn about real-world financial choices before making simulated decisions.
