  <title><![CDATA[Georgia Tech Students, Faculty, and Staff Bring STEAM to Atlanta During the Atlanta Science Festival]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>For STEAM enthusiasts across Atlanta, the month of March is a highlight of the year for one big reason: the&nbsp;<a href="https://atlantasciencefestival.org/" target="_blank">Atlanta Science Festival</a>.</p>

<p>Occurring annually since in 2014,&nbsp;the Atlanta Science Festival is a "celebration of the world-class learning and STEM career opportunities in metro Atlanta, featuring 150 engaging events for curious kids and adults at venues all across the region."&nbsp;As a founding sponsor, Georgia Tech has been an intricate part of the Festival since its inception. Now in its tenth iteration, this year's festival will host events from March 10 – 24, culminating in the&nbsp;Exploration Expo&nbsp;— a large, interactive event in Piedmont Park — on March 25.</p>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
