RGO Class is a classroom market game. Teams of students trade real companies with practice money, read real news from the past, protect their money with stops, and learn why prices move. The teacher runs the clock and sees every trade. No real money, ever.
Yes. RGO Class runs in the web browser on Chromebooks, laptops, tablets and phones. There is nothing to install.
Very little. Students join with a class code, a first name and a 4 digit PIN. No student email, no last name, no student accounts, and no ads. Sponsors only ever see totals, never student names or scores.
Yes. The lesson kit is mapped to Florida standards, with benchmark codes from CPALMS. Quizzes before and after show what each student learned, and you can download class results as spreadsheets.

A season lets every student trade on their own, from a start date the teacher picks to the end of the school year. It uses real daily closing prices, every buy needs a stop, and each class keeps a records board so next year's students have a record to beat.
The Class Cup puts classes from different schools in one competition. Classes play practice days, then one official run with the same prices for everyone, on one live leaderboard. The score rewards smart habits, so a lucky guess cannot win on its own. Ask us about the next Cup dates.
Sponsors fund RGO Class for a classroom, a whole school, or several schools. Prices are not posted yet, so please ask us and we will tell you what fits.
