Earlier this year Björk brought her Biophilia education series to the New York Hall of Science—a program based off her album of the same name, that has actually been incorporated into the Icelandic school syllabus. Now she's teaming up with the New York Public Library and Children's Museum, with the help of the Creators Project, to bring her brand of knowledge to your children's moldable minds. The performer's educational programming series reflects "the innovative and interactive elements of the Biophilia apps and seeks to teach kids about the connections between technology, art and natural phenomena." For example:
The programs at NYPL and select branches are aimed at middle school children and will run from July through the Fall. There will also be daily drop-in programming to school groups, summer camps and families with children ages 3-11, beginning July 6th and running through December 30th.
