The event will include presentations by GZA and Emdin and a panel discussion about the need for science instruction in the schools and how Hip Hop elements can engage students in science. The event will kick off a citywide science rap battle in which high school students will write rap songs about chemistry, biology or physics concepts and compete against one another for a final prize.
