The Rockonomix educational experience utilizes project-based learning to motivate student engagement by using popular media to reinforce basic economic and/or personal finance principles. The idea is simple. Students are asked to pick a popular song, write new economic and/or personal finance themed lyrics, and produce a music video parody.
