Pop culture is a major source of influence for most Americans between the ages of 13-19 years old. Most of our youth are first introduced to pop culture between 3-9 years of age, which per Neilson ratings is the 2nd largest age group in this country. The primary source of exposure to pop culture is through music. According to the Stanford University Department of Anthropology, on average, American youth listen to music and watch music videos four to five hours a day. This is more time than they spend with their friends outside of school or watching television shows. Music matters to adolescents, and they cannot be understood without a serious consideration of how it affects their lives. The scholastic community must rise to the occasion and bridge the gap between pop culture and education. School Beats S.T.E.A.M is an innovative program that does just that through the use of disguised learning. The purpose of this curriculum is to use a student run record label to successfully educate students in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math in an affordable, exciting, and applicable way.
