I think for this class, the characters will engage in a team-building exercise - literally. They'll be picking crewmates. Trouble is, I'm having difficulty thinking up a scenario, and I could use some help.

A few of my ideas:

* Teacher has them doing team sports. The sales pitch is: "What do sports have to do with trading? They have a few things in common: a challenge to overcome, and working with others to overcome it. Today, we'll be playing [volleyball? basketball?]. Whoever wins gets a cash prize."

* We stick the kids on a [simulated?] starship and let them pick their roles. The teachers observe which kids pick which roles, and note that for future reference. Their goal is to [land? dock?] the ship. Whether they succeed or fail, they'll learn a lot about how starships work and how crews operate.

* Teacher assigns student pairs to come up with a menu for the cafeteria. By the way, this is canonically how the cafeteria is run - by students learning business. The food is very hit-or-miss. xD Anyway, Ed and Sofie get paired up. The students are given a small investment of capital to play with (taken from the tuition they paid into the school) and instructed to submit a report about their experiences at the end of the week.

Your thoughts?
