Why should students participate in the Australian Economics Olympiad? What’s in it for them?
Sure, we could tell you. We could talk about the ability to further their economic knowledge; connect with economics students across the country; and get study and career advice from working economists.
Instead — let’s have a student tell you directly.
Check out the video below of Samuel Brew, a participant in the 2022 AEO. He has extremely fond memories of the competition and of being extended to think about economics “beyond the syllabus”.
“Take the opportunity!”
