Counted Out Film Screening
Tuesday, February 25th, 2025
Elliott Student Union - Room 236
5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
Registration Link
Please join us for the Counted Out film screening and learn about the power of math in our society, our economy, and our demorcacy. Math is everywhere. The people we date, the news we see, the jobs we get - all of it is underwritten by an invisible layer of math that few of us understand, or even notice. Can changing our minds about math revolutionize who has power - and who is counted out?
Through a mosaic of personal stories, expert interviews, and scenes of math transformation in action, Counted Out shows what's at risk if we keep the status quo. Across the country, we are growing the conversation about the math literacy crisis in America. We want you to be part of it. Learn more at countedoutfilm.com.
