Rockonomix started as a national video competition for college students based out of the University of West Georgia. Beginning in 2017,  the Alabama Council on Economic Education is sponsoring a similar competition for Alabama high school Economics students. The Rockonomix educational experience utilizes project-based learning to motivate student engagement by using popular media to reinforce basic economic principles. The idea is simple, students are asked to pick a popular song, write new economics themed lyrics and produce a new music video parody.
