Imagine a Franklin Student being one of the 5 Grand Prize Winners: $5000 scholarship or grant to start a business.

Your Voice is Power provides both students and teachers an introduction to computer science through a real-world exploration of how music, computer science, and entrepreneurship can be tools to advance racial justice. Built-in collaboration with Yellow, students channel their learning into an original remix of Pharrell’s song Entrepreneur – a celebration of Black culture – using Python computer code. New this competition year, students can also use computer code to remix Alicia Key’s song, Underdog, and Khalid’s New Normal as part of their original creations.
