WKU SIFE Team Making Economics Fun For Elementary Students
Bowling Green, Ky. - The Western Kentucky University Students In Free Enterprise Team (SIFE) is visiting local elementary schools teaching global economics in a fun, yet informative way.
Members of the WKU SIFE team have developed a program called “Chucky Chocolate Goes Global.” The team members will visit different elementary schools in the Bowling Green area to teach fourth and fifth graders about the process of how chocolate, something they all love, goes from being a cocoa bean in a foreign country to being a candy bar at the local grocery store. They hope to demonstrate how this process can represent the cooperation of many different nations and people. The SIFE team will kick off the project at Briarwood Elementary School on Friday (Oct. 28). The team also will be going to Potter Gray Elementary and Cumberland Trace Elementary. Dates and times for these two locations have not been determined. The WKU SIFE Team is launching its second year on campus with an enthusiastic team that plans to get involved, make a difference and win at competition. WKU SIFE recruits a diverse group of students from all majors. As a team, they take what they learn in the classroom and apply it to real-life situations in the Bowling Green community and beyond through projects that teach the principles of free enterprise.
