✨ We are beyond proud. Our very own Dr. Colleen Hacker has been honored as one of 26 extraordinary women in the Game Changers exhibit, brought to life as a life-size, 3D-printed statue celebrating STEM innovation in sport.

The original IF/THEN exhibit reached over 5 million visitors, and their content has generated hundreds of millions of views from women and girls around the world. The new Game Changers exhibit debuts at the 2026 FIFA World Cup Fan Festival in Dallas (one of the most-watched sporting events on the planet). Dr. Hacker’s face, her story, and her legacy will be seen by the world.

CONGRATULATIONS Dr. Hacker, a well-deserved honor.
