Pharrell Williams’ educational non-profit YELLOW is joining forces with Cisco to provide educational tools and technologies to marginalized students looking to start a future in STEM or the arts.
Created by Pharrell, YELLOWHAB is a “microschool” located in the Grammy-award-winning musician’s hometown of Norfolk, Virginia. The school, which features smaller classrooms and more hands-on workshops, aims to provide students with an immersive learning experience based on skill rather than age. The partnership with Cisco will provide the school with unique technologies that can help students learn the skills needed to succeed at jobs in STEM or culture and in turn give back to their community.
“This partnership between YELLOW and Cisco will take the education of our students at YELLOWHAB to the next level,” Pharrell said in a statement. “I look forward to our youth experiencing education through Cisco’s state of the art technology which will continuously expand their lens of possibility through which they see themselves, their community, and their futures.”
