What makes this program special? Young Money Whizzes transforms financial literacy from "boring math" into an immersive, high-stakes game. We don't just lecture students about the value of a dollar; we place them inside a fully functioning Classroom Economy. From Week 1, students are not just students—they are employees, renters, investors, and philanthropists. By simulating the real world (salaries, taxes, rent, and inflation) within a safe environment, we teach children the consequences of their financial decisions before they count in the real world.

What will children do and experience? Over the course of 14 interactive weeks, students navigate the complexities of earning and managing wealth through our proprietary "Ignite Bucks" currency.

What does a typical class look like? Our 90-minute sessions are designed to be active and simulation-heavy to keep energy high.

Key Takeaways & Skills Gained:

Responsibility: Taking ownership of financial wins and mistakes in a risk-free setting.

Critical Thinking: Analyzing value versus price and understanding the psychology of spending.

Mathematical Application: Practical math skills (percentages, subtraction, interest) used in real scenarios.

Financial Discipline: The ability to delay gratification for a bigger goal.




Character Development: This program helps build the following traits

  • Self-regulation: We teach the hardest money lesson of all: delayed gratification. By distinguishing "Needs" from "Wants" and saving for the final auction, students learn to control impulses, manage a budget, and prioritize long-term rewards over short-term fun.
  • Responsibility: In our classroom economy, every decision has a direct consequence. Students take ownership of their financial health by paying bills on time and managing their own ledgers. They learn that spending today affects their ability to afford what they want tomorrow.
