The creators of the New York Fed’s Educational Comic Books discuss the recently relaunched series and how it can be used inside and outside the classroom.
For classroom or independent learning, the Educational Comic Book Series is created for students of all ages, and stimulates curiosity and raises awareness of careers in economics and finance. In addition, lesson plans created for each comic book meet national and state standards for New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
Comic books are available to students, teachers, community organizations, and households at no charge. You can download copies or request print copies by mail on the Educational Comic Book page.
