A group of local girls were treated to a night of empowerment during a private screening of the movie Hidden Figures at the River Oaks District iPic Theaters on Tuesday night.
Teen radio talk show host, Victoria Baynes Lopez, conducted interviews on the red carpet for the launch of Tech Me to the Movies, an educational and empowerment initiative for teen girls. Forty teens, ages 13 – 18, were invited to attend the event based on their video submission responses to the question of “Why Tech?”
One of the attendees submitted a video on her desire become a bio-medical engineer to create devices and medical technology that would help her brother, and others, with health challenges.
