Virginia Tech's Division of Information Technology presents a Hidden

Hidden Figures uncovers the incredible story of three women who changed the  
space race. The film recounts the history of three black female  
mathematicians at NASA who helped win the space race against the Soviet  
Union while rocketing the quest for equal rights and opportunity forward.

For many years, these three women: Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and  
Mary Jackson were left out of history books despite being the “human  
computers” behind NASA’s launch of astronaut John Glenn into space.  
Director Theodore Melfi brings the women’s achievements to life via a  
fast-moving, humor-filled, inspiring movie that illuminates the quest for  
the first orbital flight and the quest for equal rights.

Our keynote speaker is TeAirra Brown, a Ph.D. Candidate in Industrial  
Systems Engineering at Virginia Tech. TeAirra’s research interests include  
human centered design, augmented reality, engineering education, and user  
interface design.

Admission is free however registration is required.
