The organization teamed up with [Obscura](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calculator-concept) and Ankh Marketing & Communications to create a series of science-focused lectures featuring eight-foot holographic versions of Mos Def and [NASA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-center-houston) Astronaut Leland Melvin. Both icons divulged personal stories, detailing how they persevered through hardship and achieved success. The lecture left students with the take-away that pursuing a variety of academic interests will offer value and significance to future career choices.
