ABOUT THE FILM
Spreadsheet Champions follows six students as they put their Excel-lent skills to the ultimate test in Microsoft’s most prestigious and difficult category. A heartwarming tale of formulas and friendship, Spreadsheet Champions reveals the surprising influence of spreadsheets in today’s world and the power of young minds in shaping our future.
These unlikely heroes use data to dream big. From De La Paix, a determined university student in Cameroon hoping to make his family proud, to Carmina, a bubbly 16-year-old from Guatemala who finds refuge in math, each competitor brings their own hopes and struggles. We meet Mason, a quirky and endearing American teen whose love for spreadsheets is matched only by his fascination with ham radio; Alkmini, a shy student from Greece who must conquer her anxiety to compete on the world stage; Nam, a meticulous and hard-working competitor from Vietnam who’s national pride rests on his shoulders; and Braydon, a laid-back Aussie whose natural talent might just be enough to counter his last-minute approach to preparation.
Together, these young champions reveal the unexpected power and joy that come from mastering a spreadsheet.
