Educational Talent Search Offers 'Mad City Money' on Arkansas Northeastern College Campus
Monday, June 8, 2015
Mad City Money simulates a mock community, complete with a finance company, realtors, grocery store, clothing store, car dealership, day care center and other businesses that are essential to living as an adult. The simulation was sponsored by the TRiO Educational Talent Search program, housed on the ANC campus, and the Northeast Arkansas Federal Credit Union. 10th graders from 13 school districts participated in the simulation on the ANC main campus, where they learned to maneuver through a month of life on a fixed income and with a family in town.
