Tuesday morning, students started the day with a basic understanding of risk management; how to determine what things are a risk versus those that are not. This was further explained with the rolling of a die.

The 1st quarter ended before lunch with Kung Fu Kangaroo Crew showing excellent risk management strategies to take the lead in the Challenge. The other teams were not far behind so we might be in for a few surprises.

The various teams had a chance to earn more money with a game of Risk Management Jeopardy. Some teams went all in and bet all their money in the Final round and still other teams were a little more cautious.

Later on in the day came the picnic and then a volleyball game. Challengers also learned some new card games.
