Madame Atom

Madame Atom is the teaching persona of science educator Abigail “Madame Atom” Rieben, who runs A T O M Science Club to share playful chemistry and physics with kids. Drawing on her background in scientific outreach and a flair for costumes and character, she leads clubs, online classes, and messy experiments that make abstract ideas feel concrete and fun. Her activities often use everyday materials to explore reactions, forces, and energy, reducing the pressure on families to source specialized lab gear. Homeschoolers who join her programs or follow her social media use Madame Atom as a way to add lively, personality driven science experiences alongside their main curriculum.
