Quote:Honeywell spends $2 million each year on science programs geared to middle school students, including a hip-hop touring group that teaches physical science, and a robotics lab program that teaches kids how to design, build and program their own robot.
Is this hip hop group like a circuit court, offering to teach at designated places?
Both the hip hop group and the robotics lab are mobile facilities which tour the country stopping at various schools.
The idea is a bit like a circuit court, but a circuit court has a repetitive round and these science programs are probably once and one exhibits. They would not return to the same school twice.
still not clear about hip-pop in this context

Still not quite clear about hip-hop used in this context. I am inviting further explanation. Thanks.

Here's a copy of the press release from Honeywell.

I'm very contented about being out-of-date, but I think Hip Hop is a style of music. Here's a link to a site describing a Hip Hop Composer's/Singer's effort based on a speech of presidential candidate Obama.

In the case of the Hip Hop Honeywell Group, they evidently have set Newton's Laws of Motion in a current musical idiom.
