The GZA Teaches High School Kids to Embrace Science
LatestAt New York’s Park East High School, they’re experimenting with new ways to teach students about science. How do you talk to kids? You rap to them! In this pilot program started by Dr. Chris Emdin of Columbia University’s Teachers College, ninth graders are learning about the reproductive system by writing rhymes and raps about fallopian tubes and women’s boobs.
As if that doesn’t sound like the best/potentially most humiliating science class ever, the GZA stopped by to talk to the kids about why science is cool. “The goal is just to awaken the children, make them more aware and embrace science and everything connected to it,” he said. The Wu-Tang Clan IS for the children!
