    The Baker and Cook Fellowship | Sponsored by Atomic Object, Ann Arbor Students of color, especially Black, Indigenous, and Hispanic Latinx students, are chronically underrepresented in STEM careers.

Atomic Object is uniquely positioned to be able to provide both financial and academic support to BIPOC students seeking to enter STEM with a formal degree.
