Pharrell William’s educational collaboration with 1,00,000 students

Pharrell Williams has come up with a massive initiative that would involve an ocean of young, aspiring students. Having teamed up with Georgia Institute of Technology, Williams will be working with around 1,00,000 students in a creative collaboration, according to allhiphop.com.

The initiative reportedly contains five modules with lesson plans, which aims to teach the young students how to code music. The young students would be remixing Pharrell Williams’ Entrepreneur song to raise their own voice on the importance of social justice and racial equality. Williams himself gave his insight into the initiative in a statement to the media by saying that ‘YELLOW’ believes that “education is a pathway to success”. He then emphasised on the importance of getting young children ready and teaching them skills that would benefit them in the future. The remixes by the students will be apparently judged by top music professionals and selections will be made accordingly.
