Congratulations to (in photo order) Sriram Chakravadhanula, Rayna Cui, Ian Chung, Ellie Friedman, Addison Shipp, Mia Perfetti, and (not pictured) their advisor, Colette O'Donnell, on their success in the 2022 Federal Reserve Bank of New York Challenge. They are among students from 15 high schools in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut to have their papers in the institution's "Journal of Future Economists." The script for their podcast on the "Economics of Climate Change" will be published over the coming summer.
The students began working on their podcast in January and winners were announced on May 17!
The High School Fed Challenge is an educational program that aims to encourage students in grades 9 – 12 to learn more about economics and promote interest in economics as a subject for study and the basis for a career. Previous study of economics is not required – only intellectual curiosity and interest in exploring an economic theme. The High School Fed Challenge offers the opportunity for students to develop skills in teamwork, research, data literacy, and analytical writing.
