The Atlanta Science Festival

The Atlanta Science Festival is an annual, week-long celebration of local science and technology. From March 19-26, 2016, curious people of all ages will explore the science and technology in our region and see how science is connected to all parts of our lives in a variety of hands-on activities, facility tours, presentations, and performances throughout the metro Atlanta region. The Festival culminates in the free, family-friendly EXPLORATION EXPO – an interactive day of demos, hands-on activities, and stage shows at Centennial Olympic Park.
