High School Workshop in Experimental Economics at Chapman University
A free camp for high school juniors & seniors June 24-28, 2019For over a decade, the Vernon L. Smith High School Workshop in Experimental Economics at Chapman University in Orange, CA has introduced rising high school juniors and seniors to economics with a free, weeklong workshop. No previous knowledge of economics is necessary, only a desire to learn! Attendees grasp economic concepts via innovative experiments that leverage the latest in computer technology to immerse participants in institutions that are merely described in textbooks and traditional lectures. As one recent attendee put it: “Economics is considered as [a] ‘dismal science,’ but the experiments make it fascinating! Click here for the application.
