DESCRIPTION:Are you familiar with the work of women as so-called “human 
 computers”? The movie Hidden Figures by Theodore Melfi is the story of a
  team of female African-American mathematicians who served a vital role in
  NASA during the early years of the U.S. space programme. A free screening
  is organized at EPFL on Monday November 13\, 2017 at 18:00.   Come and j
 oin us in Auditorium CO1! The movie will be featured in English with Frenc
 h subtitles.\n\nThis event is related to the upcoming event featuring Ms. 
 Mary Ann Mansigh\, a truly outstanding representative of the first genera
 tion of coders\, and taking place on November 15\, 2017 at EPFL in Auditor
 ium CO1.\n\nStoryline — As the United States raced against Russia to put
  a man in space\, NASA found untapped talent in a group of African-America
 n female mathematicians that served as the brains behind one of the greate
 st operations in U.S. history. Based on the unbelievably true life stories
  of three of these women\, known as "human computers"\, we follow these wo
 men as they quickly rose the ranks of NASA alongside many of history's gre
 atest minds specifically tasked with calculating the momentous launch of a
 stronaut John Glenn into orbit\, and guaranteeing his safe return. Dorothy
  Vaughan\, Mary Jackson\, and Katherine Johnson crossed all gender\, race\
 , and professional lines while their brilliance and desire to dream big\, 
 beyond anything ever accomplished before by the human race\, firmly cement
 ed them in U.S. history as true American heroes. (Storyline by 20th Centur
 y Fox) \nWatch the trailer here.
