Up + Atom, presented by Capital One and Genworth, brings together the community from STEM fields, students, community leaders and enthusiastic advocates to inspire, connect and empower the next generation of women in STEM while supporting the Science Museum of Virginia’s mission.
While the event is free to attend because of the generosity of our corporate sponsors, guests will be asked to support the Science Museum’s mission because philanthropy allows us to remove barriers, increase access and invest in future STEM leaders.
This year’s event is more interactive than ever during a networking coffee. Our formal program will include keynote speaker, Dr. Tiffany Oliver, as well as a panel of women making strides in STEM.
Dr. Tiffany Oliver is a testament to the versatility of a STEM background. She is the chair of the Biology Department at Spelman College; a trailblazer in data science and genetics research; and a noted motivational speaker, author, professor and scientist. For almost 20 years, Dr. Oliver has been a dynamic leader supporting diversity in STEM. She will share her journey and insights into making science accessible and inclusive through sharing lessons on leadership, persistence and excellence.
If your schedule is full, but you’re passionate about ensuring that everyone can be inspired by the science all around them, please consider making a gift to support the Science Museum. Below are the many ways you can help.
