“I wish we learned this in school.”

Canada’s Financial Literacy Gap

Across Canada, young adults consistently report feeling unprepared to manage real-world finances upon graduation. The curriculum includes the concepts — the engaging delivery doesn’t exist.

Introducing YUFI

A Web-Based Platform for Every Classroom

YUFI is a free, curriculum-aligned, gamified learning platform that integrates real-life financial scenarios into the Grade 9 & 10 math framework.

YUFI Teacher Dashboard — real-time classroom controls showing student progress, wellness scores, and module management

Canadian Curriculum Aligned

Directly mapped to Grade 9 & 10 math and financial literacy outcomes across provincial curricula.

Free for Schools

Zero cost to teachers and students. Sustained entirely through ethical sponsorship partnerships and grant funding.

Ethical Brand Visibility

Sponsors gain meaningful brand alignment in an educational context — no product solicitation, no data harvesting.

Teacher Dashboard

Real-time classroom controls — lock/unlock modules, trigger Market Events, monitor wellness scores and financial progress.

Anonymous Accounts

Teachers generate anonymous student logins — no personal data collected, full PIPEDA privacy compliance.

Interactive Simulations

Real-world scenarios: first jobs, budgeting, credit cards, student loans, taxes, investing, and preventing burnout.

Game Mechanics

The Three Pillars of Strategic Balance

Each turn, students choose how to invest their time. The game teaches that real financial success requires balancing income, growth, and personal sustainability.

Earning

Take on gig-economy jobs — lawn mowing, delivery, childcare, yard work. Each job provides an immediate income reward but consumes Energy. Higher-paying jobs require certifications from the Growth pillar.

Income → Chequing → Savings → Investments

Growth

Invest time into certifications — First Aid, babysitting courses, driver’s licence. These cost time now but unlock higher-tier, higher-paying earning options, teaching long-term strategic thinking.

Certifications → Unlock Higher Income Potential

Sustainability

The Burnout mechanic makes wellness tangible. Overworking depletes the Energy Meter, reducing job performance and risking illness. Rest and wellness activities restore it — modeling real mental health awareness.

Rest & Wellness → Sustained Performance

Teacher Dashboard & Classroom Controls

Teachers manage their classroom in real-time — locking and unlocking modules, triggering Market Events (interest rate shifts, economic changes), monitoring Wellness Scores, and tracking financial progress. All student accounts are anonymous, ensuring full PIPEDA privacy compliance — a critical requirement for school board and banking partner approval.
