National Great Blacks & Wax Museum Teen entrepreneurs learned about the contributions African Americans made throughout the world.

Federal Reserve Bank

The tour at the Federal Reserve Bank provided an overview of the Federal Reserve System, a scavenger hunt and a cash operations presentation.

I enjoyed going on the field trips, but the one a I like best was the Federal Reserve Bank. It taught me how money flows, and the importance of investing and saving. Imani Henderson, Parkville High School
