Idaho State University to Host Prep International Economic Summit

Pocatello — The Idaho State University Center for Economic Education will host the International Economic Summit (IES) for high school students on Wednesday, April 27, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., in the Pond Student Union Ballroom.
The Summit is a simulation of the global economy organized to prepare high school students for careers in international economics, international relations and modern globalization.
Teams of regional high school students will each represent different countries in the global economy to learn to compete with scarce resources, form strategic alliances with other countries, debate global issues, invest in long-term development projects, and interact with global institutions.
The Summit will educate scores of high school students in the methods and bureaucracies necessary to keep stable and advance the complex global economy and manage international alliances and conflicts in globalization.
