The S.T.E.M Kids are absolute LEGENDS!

I love them all so much!

Given how LOS discovered Lunella's identity as Moon Girl, I wouldn't be surprised if they also knew about Marvin's alter ego as Kid Kree and the real reason why Dr. Akonam Ojo came to the school. I mean they were the one to introduce Marvin and Dr. Ojo (directly and indirectly) to Lunella after all.

Also, I just think it's great that Lunella has another confidant at school, especially one that is a faculty member. So, if she ever had to miss any time at school then LOS has got her covered.

When I.S. 833 gets an impressive science teacher, Lunella is so eager to impress her that her drive toward perfectionism starts doing more harm than good.

Cynthia Erivo (“Universal Pictures "Wicked” franchise) guest stars as Dr. Akonam Ojo.

“Make It, Don’t Break It!” premieres Saturday at 10:00AM EST, streaming NOW only on Disney+

After reading that Celestia Book, let’s look at an episode also focusing on a similar subject.

Robo Warz is happening and Lunella wants in. The problem is for her to enter she needs a science teacher to give her the okay. And the current one knows about as much science as I do about A Certain Magical Index. As in very little. But they got a new science teacher: Dr. Akonam Ojo. She’s from Wakanda and Lunella thinks she’s the perfect Science Teacher to sponsor her.

Dr. Ojo agrees, but there is an issue. No matter what Lunella plans or builds, it just doesn’t impress her. Like it wouldn’t surprise me Lunella’s first machine would have won the tournament as is but no matter what Lunella does, it just doesn't seem to even amuse the Wakandan Doctor. And Lunella is taking it hard. Ojo does point out how there are flaws so this isn’t an act of malice. 

Dr. Ojo believes that Lunella can achieve higher things than what she is presenting. And like making diamonds, pressure is what is needed to turn coal into something more valuable. But that’s a saying, not a fact. Coal can not become Diamond if enough pressure is put on it. For starters, Coal is a mixture of carbon and dead plant material that wasn't decomposed. Diamonds are pure phases or polymorphs of carbon. 

If you try to put coal under extreme pressures now, it's not going to turn into diamonds. It’s going to crumble up and be less effective. And this episode shows that as the more pressure Ojo puts on Lunella, despite making her machines better and better, emotionally she’s being torn apart. So by the time the Final Product that Ojo does eventually approve fails because of one minor mistake, Lunella goes into a full on panic attack.

Basically, Moon Girl has been taken out of the fight when a supervillain shows up to get revenge on Robo Warz. Luckily Devil Dinosaur and the other kids who did get sponsored by their Coach Science Teacher were there to stop the villain as Lunella recovers from her mental breakdown. Also luckily for Lunella her Grandmother and Casey were there to help. 

Lunella recovers and calls out Dr. Ojo for her treatment. Ojo agrees. This was how she was taught and even though she didn’t like it she felt it could help Lunella. But even she saw that it did the opposite when she just didn’t respond to the real Ojo. And that’s when Dr. Ojo revealed her true intention. She’s on an Undercover mission to find people for an Elite Team of International Sci-Spies. And Lunella is among the top choices.

But Lunella refuses to join because she wants to keep her focus on the work home. But maybe in the future, which Dr. Ojo is glad to hear and with anticipation. And the episode ends with Lunella forming a club with the other kids while the Coach Science Teacher is upset he still has to keep the title of Science Teacher. Overall, this is a great episode that shows the problems with putting too much pressure on kids.

This is also a great companion piece with Celestia’s Book as we got two different teaching styles and how effective they are. While you can get a lot out of putting a lot of pressure out of them, you’ll get a much better result when you let them relax.

I actually liked how Dr. Akonam Ojo was portrayed in "Make It, Don't Break It"

Think about it! She was SO critical of Lunella because that's how she was taught.

It makes me wonder what OTHER Wakandan teachers like in this Universe?!

Their expectations gotta be HIGH!
