Math Matters: Play, Watch, Connect
A Joyful Celebration of Numbers in Our Lives

SAT Aug 9, 12-5pm

Free and open to the public. All ages welcome.

12pm-1:30pm – STEAM games/activities
1:30pm-3pm – “Counted Out: Math is Power” Film screening
3pm-3:30pm – Math panel and Q&A
3:30pm-5:00pm – Closing Celebration with food and refreshments

We are growing the conversation about the math crisis in our country, and we want you to be a part of it.

Hosted by UNM-Taos HIVE, TCA, and the LANL Foundation featuring FREE math games, activities, and prizes leading up to a FREE screening of “Counted Out” followed by community discussion, reception, and celebration.

“Counted Out” investigates the biggest crises of our time—including political polarization, racial inequity, and climate change–through an unexpected lens: mathematics. In our current information economy, how we understand math—and who understands it—is a critical determinant of social and economic power. The people we date, the news we see, the education we can access, the economic resources we can tap into, the political enfranchisement we enjoy: all of it is underwritten by an invisible layer of math that few of us understand. Through a mosaic of personal stories, the film shows what’s at risk if we keep the status quo, and what’s possible if we use math in service of a healthy society, a healthy democracy, and a healthy future for all of us.
