NPR: High School Science Rappers (2013)

This program is part of a national push to boost science education among minorities. A U.S. Department of Commerce study found that blacks and Latinos are half as likely as whites to have a job in science or engineering. 
Some educators hope that bringing hip-hop into the classroom can help change that. Hip Hop legend RZA from The WU TANG CLAN is an avid supporter of The Science Genius Project.
