💸 Where Does the Money Come From?: One of the most common questions we get is—where does the money come from to pay students to learn? It might sound too good to be true, but the math makes sense. Schools already spend money on curriculum, substitutes, and admin costs. What if that same money could be redirected to reward students for their effort and improvement?

Funding Details

📚 The Cost of Curriculum—Reimagined: Schools already allocate budgets for curriculum, but what if 100% of that cost could be earned back by students? Instead of simply paying for materials, schools can turn curriculum into opportunities for Learning Gigs, allowing students to gain knowledge and earn rewards. AI is enabling zero-cost high quality curriculum.

🚸 Better Behavior, Fewer Substitutes: Paying students for their effort improves engagement and behavior, which means fewer disruptions in the classroom. Schools often spend heavily on substitute teachers, but improved classroom management reduces these expenses—freeing up funds for student rewards.

🏫 Streamlining Admin Costs: Improved student effort means fewer behavioral issues, less oversight, and lower administrative costs. Paying students to learn doesn’t just motivate them—it creates efficiencies that let schools do more with less. The result? A smarter, leaner system that puts students first.

Empowering Teachers to Unlock Student Potential

Project-Based Learning (PBL) and Mastery-based education are proven strategies for improving student outcomes—but combining these methods with financial incentives for students creates a powerful new model. In this system, teachers aren’t just facilitators; they’re central to student success.

Teachers connect with students, guide them through projects, verify quality and participation, and ultimately determine when mastery is achieved. By doing so, they hold the keys that unlock student earnings and growth, making their role more important than ever.

Modern tools are making it easier for teachers to track progress, assess student performance, and provide real-time feedback. Instead of being bogged down by administrative tasks, educators can focus on what matters most—teaching, mentoring, and inspiring students.

This model doesn’t just reward students; it empowers teachers to raise expectations and provide the personalized support needed for every learner to thrive. Higher standards, stronger relationships, and better tools mean teachers can help students master complex skills, develop confidence, and prepare for real-world success.

The future of education is about collaboration—students earning rewards for mastering concepts and teachers equipped to help them get there. It’s a system that doesn’t just work; it works better for everyone.
