Lincoln High School team wins state Econ Challenge

Lincoln High School students competed in the Nebraska Economics Challenge on April 22 at the Federal Reserve Omaha Branch. The team of Juriah Lawson, Jessica Huynh, Alex Beard and Matthew Grives competed in a written exam over economic current events followed by an escape room round. The escape room round consisted of a series of economic problems that had to be solved in order to get the code for the next problem.

The team finished first in the escape room round and headed into the quiz bowl round in first place. The team competed in the quiz bowl against Thedford where they won 10-3. These students will now compete on the national level with the opportunity to travel to New York City to compete in the national quiz bowl.
