The FED Challenge team is participating in a Monetary Policy competition at the New York Federal Reserve in March.  The team will analyze current economic conditions in the U.S. and recommend a course for monetary policy.  The team will make a presentation to a panel of Federal Reserve economists.

The High School Fed Challenge is a real world experience in economic analysis, monetary policy decision-making, public speaking and teamwork.

To compete, teams of three to five students offer a 12-minute presentation on the economy and participate in a 13-minute Q&A with the judges.

Judges are New York Fed economists and staff who are experts on economics and monetary policy.
