Teaching social studies and humanities for high school students, I see Kalshi's election prediction markets as transformative educational tools for civic engagement. These markets could bring civics lessons to life by allowing students to engage with real-time electoral data and political forecasting. For example, students could analyze market predictions of local elections to understand voter demographics and campaign strategies. The potential approval of these markets by the CFTC is critical for enhancing civic education and preparing students to become informed and active participants in democratic processes, fostering a deeper understanding of political dynamics and governance.
