ASHEBORO – Teens can learn about both sides of the economic
coin by joining in one of three Economy, Jr. simulations at the Asheboro Public
Library on Saturdays, August 16, 23, and 30.
The simulations, offered by Rebuildup, LLC, will take place
from 1-3 p.m. each day. They are free and all teens are invited.
In Economy, Jr., participants choose whether they want to
play as customers spending a month’s paycheck from their chosen career on daily
necessities such as groceries and child care, or as merchants selling those
products to customers to cover daily overhead and perhaps turn a profit.
Halfway through the simulation, the groups switch roles, with customers
becoming merchants and vice versa.
Can you make it through without going bankrupt?
Based in Greensboro, Rebuildup, LLC, provides programs and
services to help startups rebuild economies. The organization offers events to
schools, libraries, congregations, Scout troops and youth groups to inform and
inspire the current and next generation of entrepreneurs about economics and
business.
For more information, visit rebuildup.com/randolph or call
the library at 318-6803.
The library is located at 201 Worth Street in Asheboro.
