Future and his Freewishes Foundation are changing the lives of the next generation of students in Atlanta.
Together they teamed up to open a STEM lab in the Kirkwood area to host interactive classes for students and to pair them with mentors in the Science, tech, engineering, arts and math fields.
Historically, there has been a gap within the tech and science disciplines among BIPOC students from underserved areas. Therefore, The Freewishes Foundation is making major moves to change that narrative.
The new S.T.E.A.M. Lab aims to help make STEM more accessible to students in Atlanta. The lab has pledged to help support all students who wish to pursue STEM as a career.
"It’s important that all students receive access to STEM education regardless of their background,” Future said in a statement. “Our Freewishes Foundation, with the support of the 2K Foundations, has helped make this possible in our Atlanta community. We’re thankful for their commitment to support our initiative.
“We are creating a science technology, engineering, art, and mathematics lab as an extension of Freewishes educational initiative,” shared Freewishes Executive Director, and Future’s sister, Tia Wilburn.
“We wanted to add art because both Future and I support creativity,” she continued. “Our objective in providing educational opportunities is to ensure inclusive and quality education for all students regardless of income and background.
