Members of the Genographic team were invited to Harlem yesterday to discuss the Genographic Project with teams of sixth grade teachers from five different New York City public schools. As part of a new pilot program through Silk Road Connect, Yo-Yo Ma's multidisciplinary educational initiative, teachers from various disciplines ranging from science to history to the arts attended. Teachers brainstormed on ways to integrate the Genographic Project into their classroom and had the opportunity to swab to learn their own Genographic journey. Check out the photos from the day.
