The course was conducted by Ohio State University under the direction of Vanessa Lange and by Our Lady of Mount Carmel Algebra Teacher Sister Jeanette Estrada.

The students were each assigned a random career, simulated bank and checking accounts and are responsible for managing these fund plus household expenses for three weeks. At the last class on February 5th students culminated their experience and were able to purchase things if they had funds available in their portfolios.
