Atomic Hands is a Deaf-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit on a mission to make science, technology, engineering, and math truly accessible through the expressive power of American Sign Language (ASL). Founded in 2018 by Dr. Alicia Wooten and Dr. Barbara Spiecker—both Deaf scientists who bonded over shared experiences navigating English-centric STEM education—Atomic Hands exists because the founders saw a need for rich, ASL-centric STEM resources that spoke directly to Deaf learners and professionals.
