WHAT'S UP IN FINANCE Online Challenges Young People to Tackle Essential Money Matters: Thirteen/WNET Web Site Offers Simulation Games, Video, And

NEW YORK (BusinessWire EON) June 28, 2007 -- The dynamic companion Web site features activities to explore the world of finance in a fun and engaging way. The site offers games, career profiles, lesson plans, a financial glossary, and streaming and downloadable video of the complete television program.

The games include:

-- Bank it or Bust (Saving/Budgeting). Any teen who plans to toil at a summer job to earn money to buy a car can benefit from this game, in which the player's budgeting choices determine what kind of car he ultimately can afford.

-- Rags to Riches (Small Business Management). In this game, the user gets to imagine himself as the owner of an online t-shirt business whose decisions result in either profit or misery.

-- It Cost What?! (Credit). In this interactive game, a user must look past all the credit card come-ons and keep his interest payments under control.

WHAT'S UP IN FINANCE? video can be viewed online in three segments:

-- Moving Out. In Orange County, California, college student Eddie Romero consults financial planner Louis Barajas to find a way to pay his bills, pursue a music career and save for the future. Barajas helps Romero create a budget, track expenses and start investing his money.

-- Green Chic. Up-and-coming fashion designer Anna Cohen of Portland, Oregon needs to keep her start-up company - and her dream of ecologically friendly fashion - afloat financially. She gets help through Mercy Corps, a microfinance institution that offers small businesses essential loans to move their companies forward.

-- The Dealmakers. Two teams of students from Nashville, Tennessee compete in a simulation of a multi-billion dollar business deal during a Youth About Business competition, which gives high school students a chance to figure out if a career in high finance might be right for them.

The downloadable WHAT'S UP IN FINANCE? Teacher's Guide includes additional activities and resources for the high school math, economics, social studies, and finance classrooms to help educators and students build key connections between financial matters, math and job opportunities.
