Join us for an inspiring afternoon with film producer and Bedtime Math founder Laura (Bilodeau) Overdeck as we screen Rule Breakers and engage in conversation about courage, innovation, and the power of technology to advance human progress.

Rule Breakers tells the true story of Afghanistan's pioneering all-girls robotics team — young women who dared to innovate in a nation where educating girls is considered an act of rebellion. When their work captures global attention, their success ignites both hope and fierce opposition. This film chronicles how their courage and unity sparked a movement with the potential to change the world, and the story resonates deeply with Stevens’ mission to nurture and prepare students for our complex, technology-driven world.
