VISUALS During the simulation, the students will visit several merchant tables to obtain housing, transportation, food, clothing, childcare and other necessities. They’ll encounter pushy sales people, unexpected expenses, and their own desires for high-end products. If students find themselves running in the red, representatives at the “credit union” will help them get back on the road to financial recovery.
