There's a trading floor in the Bedford-Stuyvesant
neighborhood of Brooklyn, and although no real trades go through the room, it's
just as high-tech and impressive.
According to the BusinessInsider report the "floor" in question is actually a classroom in
the Brooklyn Academy of Global Finance high school, equipped with a real-time
stock ticker, touchscreen LCD monitors to track stocks and computer modules to
help students acclimate to the business and finance-focused curriculum of the
school.
"
The academy's special focus on business requires that
students take classes like Introduction to Finance, Entrepreneurship and
Accounting, and participate in an internship program. Events like a career day
with Deloitte and a speakers' series with guests from the business profession
are also the norm at the academy. The school is currently in its third year and
plans on graduating its first cohort of seniors next year.....
