The project was a sixteen week course in consumer education for a ninth grade coeducational home economics class. The course was developed using the suggested topic areas coming from the 1970 summer workshop of fifty-three home economics educators at Indiana State University. Areas of study included in the course content were: credit, budgeting, food and nutrition, packaging, clothing selection and care, transportation, insurance, housing, education, grooming, careers and health. The course content was outlined in terms of objectives, learning experiences, learning concepts and bibliography. The course was taught at a local junior high school for sixteen weeks. Scores of those students who had completed the consumer education course were higher than scores of the other students.
