The Summit is a world trade simulation for high school students, which teaches fundamental economic concepts within the context of international trade. Utilizing experience-based learning, the Summit challenges high school students to think critically about the benefits and costs of trade and to explore globalization.

The program culminates in a Mini Summit event at the school and a Regional Summit competition hosted at a local university. On that day, students implement their plans through activities such as alliance negotiations, economic proposal debates, a geography quiz, an economics test and an international export-import trading session.
