What is Your Voice is Power?
Make beats. Learn code. Promote equity.
Your Voice is Power is a project-based curriculum and national remix competition that introduces the fundamentals of computer science to students through an exploration of music and social change. Across five learning modules, students engage in fun activities and thought -provoking discussions to learn how these topics intersect.
Built in collaboration with Pharrell Williams’ education non-profit YELLOW, this one-week program challenges students to express their own voice, write code using Georgia Tech’s EarSketch platform, and create an original song remix that promotes equity.
Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls will receive a £2000 amazon voucher and the winning student Vanessa, Year 8 will receive a £500 Amazon voucher.
