What’s hotter than climate change? Chiasm Cabaret! Join us for a double whammy of double entendres about steamy STEM in our Sexy Science Variety Show full of burlesque, pole dancing, comedy, and drag at the Great Salt Lake Fringe Festival at the Alliance Theater in historic Trolley Square Saturday July 27th at 9pm and Sunday August 4th at 6pm.
We are
Science,
Technology, Engineering,
the Arts,
& Math with a
punk ethos.
History
We founded S.T.E.A.M.punk to inject academia with a little bit of punk and to put on kick ass S.T.E.A.M. events outside of the stuffy ivory tower. We had a passion for science communication and co-founded Science On Tap-SLC.
After 17 successful talks and events we are expanding to bring on all of academia. With years of experience in science outreach, education, art, design, non-profit management, and community organizing we are stoked to make S.T.E.A.M.punk Academy a thing.
We are always looking for people who want to get involved and organizations that want to collaborate. So reach out!
We create S.T.E.A.M. events and activities in the community that are radically inclusive, howlingly irreverent, and wicked smart.

Sky Hatter
Co-FOUNDER And Creative Director
In 3rd grade Sky Hatter raised some red flags when she wrote “E is for dolphin because dolphins use echolocation.” in an alphabet book assignment. It was clear early on that she was going to be doing something that combines her artistic talents and insatiable curiosity.
She earned her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and began a career in graphic design that spanned editorial, books, and scientific exhibit design. In 2017 she co-founded Science On Tap SLC and became the Chief Creative Officer. These days she has her dream jobs: being half of the marketing team for the Utah Arts Alliance, working in the Urban Arts Gallery, and being the co-founder and creative director of S.T.E.A.M.punk.
