Please join us on September 16th for a virtual, free screening of the award-winning documentary, Counted Out!

If you are a parent, educator, or interested community member - we'd love to have you join from your home. “Counted Out” investigates the biggest crises of our time. Political polarization. Racial biases. Social injustice. Economic inequity. Climate change. And a global pandemic. All viewed through a previously unseen lens: math. It helps those who feel they are "not a math person" see things in a different light and addresses tough questions about how we approach mathematics in the classroom.
