Ecopolis is an economics/government course where each student plays a part in a simulated town.

This course will continue from the first semester but new students are welcome to enroll.

Students get a chance to have jobs, make speeches, elect officials, pay taxes, compete in business and more. Students run their own simulated government to learn about issues including scarcity, resource allocation, needs vs. wants, opportunity costs, entrepreneurship, and global interdependence.

This is a hands-on student-directed course with the teacher playing the role of a facilitator rather than lecturer.
