Christopher Emdi: "In my work with STEAM, I focus on art, but also on culture...My most recent project, Science Genius, which is a partnership with the rapper GZA from the Wu-Tang Clan and RapGenius.com, focuses on the art of rap and the culture of hip-hop as the key to engaging youth. Through writing science raps and engaging in scientific rap battles with young people, the art and culture of science is expanded. This is an approach to STEM that is inclusive of all youth, but that is particularly necessary for urban youth of color who are least likely to engage in these disciplines, and yet deeply engaged in hip-hop culture."
