Families can experience science, technology, engineering and mathematics together as they design, build, and conduct a different experiment or solve a different challenge each hour. Visit Georgia Tech and experience the fun of doing science together as a family from G T students, staff, and faculty. Using everyday items participants will learn what being a scientist or engineer is really like while having fun. Best suited for families with students in grades 4-12. Families change classrooms each hour for a total of 3 unique classes/projects. Pre-registration is required. Parents must attend with children - drop off is not allowed.
