SUMMARY:Beyond the Bet: The Economics of Gambling
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Matt Pierson\, Associate Director\, Nebraska Council on Economic Education in Partnership with the Maryland Council on Economic Education \nApril 16\, 2026 \n7:00 PM  \nIn this session we will demo and learn about three brand new lessons hosted by the St. Louis Fed on the economics of gambling.  These lessons all focus on active learning and help students not only understand the economic concepts of gambling but also the warning signs of problem gambling.  Students will learn how to identify problem gambling\, learn to understand the risks associated with gambling\, and also learn about the world of sports betting and the incentives at play in that arena. Teachers will leave with three ready to use lessons they can try in their classrooms the next day!

SUMMARY:CEE: Power Up Your Economics & Personal Finance Instruction with Design Thinking!
DESCRIPTION:Design thinking skills are creative\, innovative problem-solving skills for the classroom\, the workplace\, and real life—and they’re exactly the kind of skills employers are seeking in new hires for today’s Innovation & Gig Economy. Even better\, these entrepreneurial mindset process skills double as highly effective instructional strategies for teaching economics and personal finance concepts and reasoning skills while simultaneously developing workplace readiness. Join us for a fun\, interactive webinar where we’ll break down the 5-step design thinking process by watching videos of teachers implementing design thinking in their classrooms\, then unpack multiple design thinking examples geared toward middle and high school students. Teachers will brainstorm additional economics and personal finance problems that students care about—problems that design thinking helps solve—and identify where design thinking can be seamlessly integrated into their curricula to boost engagement and retention. Practical instructional strategies and free\, classroom-ready resources will be shared to help successfully bring this next-level pedagogy to economics and personal finance classrooms. Real-world assessment strategies\, including simple yet highly motivating Design Challenge friendly competitions\, are included. Participants will also learn about the Online Entrepreneurship Institute for teachers and the aligned U.S. Entrepreneurship Certification Examination for high school students. \n\n\n\nTeachers will be able to: \n\nExplain how the 5-step design thinking process functions as an effective instructional strategy for teaching economics and personal finance while developing students’ innovative\, problem-solving\, and workplace readiness skills for the Innovation & Gig Economy.\nIdentify opportunities to integrate design thinking into existing economics and personal finance curricula\, including the use of simple Design Challenges as engaging\, real-world assessment tools.

SUMMARY:CEE: Rockonomics 101: History\, Economics\, Rock and Roll
DESCRIPTION:This presentation explores how music can serve as a powerful teaching tool for understanding U.S. economics and history between the 1880s and the 1960s. Songs of this period not only entertained but also reflected and shaped the nation’s economic and social realities. By treating music as a primary source\, educators can bring historical events and economic concepts to life in ways that resonate with students. 1. Teachers using student activities will engage them to broader historical and economic themes and strategies for classroom integration. 2. By linking music to lessons on industrialization\, migration\, labor\, war\, cultural changes and civil rights\, teachers can foster deeper engagement\, empathy\, and interdisciplinary learning. \nTeachers will be able to: \n\n\nDemonstrate how music can be used as a primary source to explore economic and historical themes. \n\n\nHighlight key genres\, artists\, and songs that connect to major moments in history and economics. \n\n\nShare classroom-ready strategies for using music to make history more relatable\, accessible\, and engaging. \n\n\nEncourage interdisciplinary thinking by linking economics\, history\, culture\, and critical analysis through music.
