SUMMARY:CEE: Red\, Yellow\, Green: Measuring Poverty
DESCRIPTION:This College Stoplight introduces instructors to the Poverty Stoplight\, a self-assessment tool created by Fundación Paraguaya that reframes poverty as multidimensional and self-diagnosed rather than income-only and externally imposed. We show how the tool’s six dimensions\, 50 indicators\, and red/yellow/green scale can anchor college-level lessons in development economics\, behavioral economics\, and personal finance. Participants will see the tool in action\, work through sample indicators\, and learn how to turn the underlying methodology into class activities—self-assessment exercises\, data analysis\, dimension-mapping\, and policy debate—that connect abstract poverty metrics to students’ own reasoning and to authentic field data. Activities covered include: a live walkthrough of the visual survey; a hands-on dimension-mapping exercise; comparing the Stoplight with income-based and Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) approaches; and a discussion guide for connecting the tool to capabilities theory\, agency\, and financial wellbeing. Why attend: Bring an authentic\, globally used real-world tool into your classroom to make multidimensional poverty concrete and measurable. Leave with ready-to-use activities and a discussion guide that connect the tool to development and behavioral economics theory. Learn how a self-assessment methodology builds student agency and links economics to personal financial wellbeing.

SUMMARY:CEE: Building Custom Games & Simulations with AI
DESCRIPTION:This hands-on webinar shows economics and personal-finance teachers how to use “vibe coding”—describing what you want in plain English and letting AI write the code—to build their own interactive classroom simulations in minutes\, with no programming background required. We’ll start by demystifying what vibe coding is\, how the AI tools work\, and where their limits are. Then we move straight into live building\, where you’ll watch and follow along as we generate\, test\, and refine working simulations on the spot. Topics and activities include: turning an economics standard into a clear\, structured prompt; building a supply-and-demand market with sliders and a live equilibrium point; creating a compound-interest “power of starting early” visualizer; designing a budgeting decision game or stock-market simulator; and using follow-up prompts to fix errors and improve the output. We’ll also cover a quick prompt-planning template and an accuracy and responsible-use checklist so your simulations are classroom-ready and trustworthy. Why attend: You’ll leave with a ready-to-use prompt library and three to five finished simulations you can use in class the next day. You’ll learn a repeatable workflow to turn any concept or standard into a custom interactive activity—no coding\, no expensive software. You’ll gain practical strategies for reviewing AI output for accuracy\, accessibility\, and student-data safety.

SUMMARY:CEE: Big Dreams\, Little Steps: Helping Students Explore Future Careers
DESCRIPTION:This session will begin with an overview of the importance of building specific human-centered skills in the age of AI\, supported by key articles and survey findings. It will then move into a series of engaging\, classroom-ready activities\, including an exploration of college and career pathways\, a group decision-making exercise focused on post-college choices\, and a final scenario in which students evaluate trade-offs between remote and in-office work opportunities at different salary levels. \nTeachers should attend to gain access to field-tested\, ready-to-use activities that can be implemented immediately in the classroom. The session will also support educators in helping students develop stronger decision-making skills as they navigate future college and career choices.

SUMMARY:CEE: Economics Alive! Immersive Simulations & Role-Based Learning for High School Economics
DESCRIPTION:Economics Alive! explores immersive\, role-based instruction as a tool for teaching high school economics. We often hear that students disengage from economics because it feels abstract and distant from their lives — but economics simulations change that. When a student has to negotiate a trade\, defend a policy\, or make decisions as a central bank governor\, the content becomes immediate and personal. Educators will walk through five complete lesson activities and receive a full Teacher Toolkit of ready-to-use materials. The session closes with a practical planning framework participants can use to design their own immersive lessons. Walk Away with Ready-to-Use Lessons — No starting from scratch. Teachers leave with a complete toolkit of five fully-built\, standards-aligned lesson plans — simulations\, role plays\, and stakeholder summits — they can drop into their classroom the very next day. Re-Engage Students Who’ve Tuned Out — Traditional economics instruction loses students fast. This workshop shows teachers how to flip the script by putting students inside the content — as traders\, policymakers\, and negotiators — so the concepts stick because students lived them\, not just read them. Reach Every Learner in the Room — From high-performing students who need a challenge to students with IEPs who need a clear entry point\, every lesson comes with built-in differentiation strategies so no student gets left on the sidelines of the simulation.
