Meet Neta Blum, Sept. 17
Technion STEM Trailblazer to Headline Film Screening

At Denver Sie FilmCenter


We are delighted to announce that STEM trailblazer Neta Blum will headline CO-IL's September 17th dinner and film screening of Technion 10² at the Denver Sie FilmCenter. Ms. Blum is featured prominently in the film and is visiting Colorado from Israel.


Technion alumna Neta Blum has shattered stereotypes in aerospace engineering and pioneered game-changing technologies, including Israel’s first 3D-printed UAV. A Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, Ms. Blum is currently finishing her Ph.D. at the Technion Faculty of Aerospace Engineering and is exploring innovations in cancer diagnosis.


Committed to giving back, Ms. Blum founded the AT Program (Hebrew for "you", feminine) in 2017, an initiative that encourages young women to pursue careers in STEM. In February 2023, she published an article in Nature Reviews Materials about the importance of mentoring for empowering the next generation of female scientists and engineers.
