It uses sketch comedy and young actors to explain basic economic concepts. Its motto is: "Where kids teach kids about money and business." All students attending Route 333 helped in the research conducted, as well as the design of the business plan and the product they created! They competed with 5 other area schools. Yukon was the only school system that was represented by an after school program. The panel of six judges for the competition consisted of college professors, small business owners and bankers.
