Economics 101—Webinar Hosted by FEE
Join us on September 22 at 7pm CT for Economics 101, a webinar hosted by the Foundation for Economics Education (FEE). Designed for students, parents, and coaches, the FEE team will walk participants through the essentials of economics, including a special focus on Extemp and this year's debate resolutions. They will also provide a packet of related resources for further study.
This will be a great jump start to the competition season AND to your study of social sciences for the year!
The webinar will be recorded and posted on the website.
Explore this season's theme of Open Doors and the ways it intersects with NCFCA's mission and reminds us to look for opportunities to be ambassadors for Christ!
