New—Just Curious Workshop for Teachers and potential team members

Would you like an opportunity to find out more about Fed Challenge without making a commitment to participating? Teachers, we encourage you to bring up to five interested students with you, but you can attend alone. Free classroom resources will be distributed, and refreshments will be served.

There is no fee, but registration is required by emailing Dawn Conner, economic education coordinator at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.
