About the Atlanta Science Festival
The Atlanta Science Festival is an annual weeklong celebration of local science and technology. Scientists and educators from local schools, museums, and companies will uncover mysteries and explain discoveries in hands-on activities, facility tours, stimulating presentations, and riveting performances at venues across the city. Our mission is to celebrate the inherent integration of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) in our lives today, share the impact they have on our community, and inspire us all to wonder about our future. The Festival is produced by a collaboration of science, cultural, and educational institutions, led by Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology, the Atlanta Science Tavern, and the Metro Atlanta Chamber.ContactBeverly Clark, Emory University, 404-712-8780, beverly.clark@emory.edu Jordan Rose, Atlanta Science Festival, 404-712-9242, jordan@atlantasciencefestival.orgGroups
