On October 1, MOXI, the Wolf Museum of Exploration + Innovation, held an exquisite and fascinating MOXI@Night fundraiser that raised $235,000 for its community outreach programs, STEAM education programs, and accessibility initiatives. All of these further MOXI’s mission of igniting learning through interactive experiences in science and creativity.
Guests entered the dimly lit museum through vapor clouds and enjoyed the cosmic cocktail reception before boarding the very cool, star-illuminated, space portal elevator to the rooftop for a scrumptious five-course gourmet dinner under the stars.
President/CEO Robin Gose welcomed guests and moderated a fascinating discussion with former NASA astronaut Danny Olivas, who was on two Space Shuttle missions and did five space walks and with NASA Deputy Flight System Manager for the Flagship Europa Clipper Project Kendra Short. The Clipper Project will explore the icy crust of Jupiter’s moon and determine if there is life there.
