MDI is a card game that has players take turns being a customer while the other players try to convince them to purchase their products accumulating market share in the process.
There are two ways to win by either having the most market share at the end of the game (combined money and resources) or coming up with the best product idea in the game.

Pictures from the most enthusiastic players we’ve had so far for the “Economic Literacy Summer Series” at Hemphill Library on Tuesday, June 17th.
For this Summer Series event and all others, Greensboro Municipal Federal Credit Union (GMFCU) is our generous sponsor with Shift, the Nussbaum Center’s entrepreneur group, helping organize volunteers.
The Economic Literacy Summer Series sponsored by Greensboro Municipal Federal Credit Union continues with Economy, Jr. at Hemphill Library Tuesday, June 17th 6:30-8:00pm FREE for area teens.
Economy, Jr. provides students with insight into both sides of the economic coin by having them choose at the start of the game whether they want to play as a customer spending a month’s paycheck from their chosen career on necessities such as housing, groceries, child care, and more or as a merchant selling these products to customers to cover daily overhead and hopefully post a profit.
RSVP for your teen by calling 336-373-2925
Thank you to YES! Weekly for spreading the word about all the great events we’ll be holding this summer!

With a heated national discourse around the financial struggles of post-grads squeezed by student debt and low-income jobs, the Greensboro Public Library and Greensboro Municipal Federal Credit Union have teamed up for an Economic Literacy Summer Series.
The series consists of programs held from June 7 to August 5 designed by ReBuildUp, a company based in Greensboro that provides resources to “inspire the current and next generation of entrepreneurs about economics and business.”
