Year 11 Economics Excursion to Monash Laboratory of Experimental Economics
On Friday 17 March, students in Year 11 Economics were treated to a free workshop program offered by the Monash Laboratory of Experimental Economics (MonLEE).
The day started with an overview of the offerings at Monash University, including examples of student & academic life, degree and double degree prerequisites and options, and Industry based learning and work experience opportunities available. Afterwards the staff led a discussion on examples of behavioural research they were undertaking followed by Q and A.
Students were then divided into three groups to take part in a series of workshops for the rest of the day. This included:
After a picnic lunch provided courtesy of MonLEE, students took part in a series of Behavioural Economics games such as the Keynesian Beauty Contest and the Travelers dilemma, before completing more workshop rotations. At the end of the day a group photo was taken before we thanked and farewelled the MonLEE team for providing a fun and educational day.
