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.
