Wednesday, May 10, 2023, 6:15 – 8:15pm
Join us in-person at the National Museum of American History on the evening of Wednesday, May 10, for a special Innovative Lives program featuring inventors Theresa Dankovich and Madison Maxey.
The 2023 Innovative Lives program series focuses on the theme of "Places of Invention" to celebrate the Lemelson Center's award-winning exhibition, which closes at the National Museum of American History in late summer 2023.
In an increasingly global, virtual world the importance of place to the invention ecosystem has evolved. Both Theresa Dankovich and Madison Maxey have traveled across the globe to find their places of invention. Dankovich invented germ-killing water filters as a graduate student and co-founded Folia Water in 2016. Maxey works in electronic textiles and her company LOOMIA creates fabrics that act like circuit boards for innovative products from medical wearables to monitor patients to heated ski gear.
Before the program we invite you to enjoy a light reception and tour of the “Places of Invention” exhibition at 6:15 p.m and purchase a copy of the Places of Invention companion publication. Our panelists will take the stage at 7:15 p.m. to share their stories of innovation and invention as it relates to place. An audience Q&A will follow the conversation.
All Innovative Lives talks will be moderated by a host who will facilitate a Q&A session following the presentation. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in a dialogue with the speaker, enabling a deeper understanding of their process and work. We invite curious minds of all ages to register for these free programs. Live captioning is available for online programs, and ASL interpreters are on-site for in-person programs.
