A new program at a major university is giving K–12 students a practical introduction to civic engagement by teaching them how to manage budgets and participate in voting simulations. Through interactive workshops, young learners explore key financial and political concepts in a hands-on format designed to build real-world skills. The initiative aims to foster early understanding of democratic processes and personal responsibility. Participants engage directly with decision-making exercises that mirror real governance challenges.
