Welcome to the official Fantasy Congress educational wiki. We strongly believe that politics can be as interesting as sports. You wouldn't teach baseball with just a rulebook, so why use only a book when teaching about government? Fantasy Congress allows students to see the legislative process in action, research the U.S. Congress, and get them excited about our U.S. Congress.

Here you will find some basic explanations for Fantasy Congress, educational resources, and lesson plans. The best part is that teachers can upload their lesson plans for collaboration and shared knowledge. If you've never used a wiki, go to Atomic Learning for it's simple tutorials on how to use this wiki.
