Welcome to the Ohio Stock Market Challenge!

We encourage you and your students to research stocks that interest you, and attempt to build the best-performing portfolio.

We are delighted you recognize the value of the program as a powerful experiential learning tool. The OSMC is a great way for students to be exposed to the stock market, without the fear of losing real money!

There are a number of lessons, activities, and resources designed to help with the process. Then sit back and watch the market in action!
