Students Become CEO's in Junior Achievement's "Titan Challenge"  One of the most successful and fun programs that has been offered to gifted students has been Junior Achievement’s “Titan Challenge.” In this Junior Achievement simulation, students must make decisions on price, production, marketing, capital investment, and research and development. Students’ decisions ultimately decide the fate of their business.  This year, seven teams of two are participating in the seven Titan Challenge sessions. During the odd sessions, students learned the basics of business decisions from successful business volunteer Mrs. Shelly Matter. During the even sessions, students would then apply their knowledge to the computer simulation program.  For our final session, the seven teams will competeagainst each other to earn the right to travel to Central Penn College. These three SHS-teams will compete at Central Penn College against dozens of teams from across Central Pennsylvania.  Past participants have considered the program a lot fun and a worthwhile experience. Perhaps, they will take their new business knowledge and apply it to a future endeavor!
