DU Takes High School Students to the Movies
Students from the Ritchie School of Engineering and Computer Science collaborated with three Denver high schools to give students a special screening of the film Hidden Figures in the hopes of encouraging girls and young women, particularly those of color, to pursue careers in engineering, technology and math. The screening was followed by a conversation with IBM executive and DU alum Carita Watso, as well as current Ritchie School students Toni Dunlap and Hannah Apuan.
