Due out in January is the film “Hidden Figures,” a fact-based look at Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughn and Mary Jackson, important but relatively little-known figures in the history of NASA. There are several obvious Social Messages in the movie, but what do *I* see? STEM, baby! The heroes of the piece rise to prominence and save the day because they can Do The Math. The three main characters are mathematicians, computer programmers and engineers.

Also note: I provided a few cyanotype blueprints to be used as props/set pieces. Based on prior experience, the chances of them actually making a recognizable appearance are pretty minimal (movies and TV shows gather a *vast* pile of stuff to use, most of which isn’t used), but you never know.
