Course Overview
For parents & educators teaching teens microeconomics through fun, Disney-style storytelling
Microeconomics doesn’t have to be boring, confusing, or full of intimidating graphs. In this course, you’ll learn core microeconomic concepts through the stories, characters, and worlds of Disney, making economics intuitive, memorable, and even fun.
Instead of dry textbooks and abstract theory, we use familiar Disney movies and characters to explain how individuals, businesses, and markets make decisions. Whether it’s understanding incentives through Aladdin, opportunity cost through The Little Mermaid, or market power through Monsters, Inc., each concept is tied to a story you already know.
Throughout the course, you’ll master the most important areas of microeconomics, including supply and demand, elasticity, opportunity cost, marginal analysis, incentives, market structures, and strategic decision-making. These topics are explained step-by-step in plain language, with visual examples and real-world connections that make the material stick.
This course is designed for students, lifelong learners, and anyone curious about how the economy really works—no prior economics background required. It’s especially helpful for high school or college students preparing for exams, adults returning to school, or parents who want a clear way to explain economics concepts to their kids.
By the end of the course, you won’t just recognize economic terms—you’ll think like an economist, spotting trade-offs, incentives, and decision-making everywhere from Disney movies to everyday life.
If you’ve ever wished economics felt more like a great story than a tough lecture, this course is for you.
This course is intended to be purchased by adults (parents, guardians, or educators) who wish to guide and supervise teen learners. Udemy accounts for learners under 18 must be managed by a parent or guardian in accordance with Udemy policy.
