Lupita Nyongo surprises students at all-girls STEM school in Atlanta: 'I feel like I'm looking into the faces of the future.'
Students at an all-female STEM school in Atlanta received a huge surprise and a"Wakanda Forever" salute from Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o Thursday after being awarded with the"Most Likely to Succeed" superlative from our first-ever"GMA" Yearbook.
"When I look into this room I see problem solvers. I see creative thinkers. I see activists," she said."But most importantly I see women who are learning how to learn and learners change the world." The 200 bright young women at the academy, in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia, are already working to make a positive impact in their communities. Plus, the entire student body of the first STEM-certified all-girls school in the state is entirely made up of girls of color, who are already changing gender and racial diversity within science and tech fields.
"Don't let anybody tell you that you can't." Bernice King, the daughter of Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King, says it means a great deal to see her mother's legacy carried on through the women at the school. pic.twitter.com/sGVD5VQIpX
