Support the Next Generation of Women in STEM

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.

Thank You for Your Interest!
We look forward to seeing those that registered on April 30.
