Pharrell Williams' non profitable organization, YELLOWORG, in partnership with Amazon and Georgia Tech, launched a music coding program for young students thinking about the next generation of entrepreneurs. A new learning experience that explores the ways in which music, computer science and entrepreneurship can be tools to promote racial equity.


Named 'Your Voice is Power', the initiative has five tuition modules on coding skills and practices, as well as discussion exchange sessions between teachers and students on racial injustice, and any elementary and high school students residing in the United States and Canada will be able to participate. Additionally, it will also host a competition that will take students to remix Pharrell's single "Entrepreneur". Students must create a remix using their own voices via EarSketch, the coding educational platform used by Georgia Tech.




Taking advantage of the launch of the teaching modules, the first round of the competition will started on January 19th, and there has been talks already about the second stage, scheduled to happen on March 15th and later on June 4th.


Rules containing all program and competition guidelines are available here
