The premise is to provide students with a case study subject, Dr. Dre, a historically successful Street Dj, music producer, engineer, entrepreneur, brand builder, business owner, and philanthropist in order to explore how he became the cornerstone of one of the biggest acquisitions in CS+X; the Apple & Beats, merger. By posing this question students are provided a platform to discover the role and influence that cultural wealth from marginalized communities i.e. ghetto spaces play in tech. Moreover, students will depart the course with a deeper understanding of their own cultural wealth in potential applied learning projects in computer science and production software development, sound engineering interface exploration, coding, robotics, social media data analytics, and market research.
