Summary Sentence: Join the hunt for elements associated with campus buildings and win fabulous prizes!
Full Summary: To celebrate the International Year of the Periodic Table, the College of Sciences is hosting a scavenger hunt. Join the hunt and win fabulous prizes.
Georgia Tech posters, beaker mugs, and T-shirts await successful scavenger huntersJust as elements have atomic numbers, Georgia Tech buildings have location numbers on the campus map. That sounds like an opportunity for a scavenger hunt of elements whose atomic numbers match the location numbers of buildings.
Part of campus celebrations of the International Year of the Periodic Table, the Georgia Tech Scavenger Hunt for Chemical Elements will introduce players to fun facts about five chemical elements and to historical tidbits about their associated buildings:
Download a playing card here or pick up a card from any of the five buildings or from the second floor of Tech Tower.
Visit each of the buildings and find the poster with information about the building and the element. Answer the questions on the playing card. Present the card for the building's stamp.
Winning cards must have all five building stamps and correct answers to all questions.
Present your winning card to Room 2100Q in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, in the Molecular Sciences and Engineering (MoSE) building, at 901 Atlantic Dr, Atlanta, GA 30318. You may claim a prize from 9 AM to 4 PM on Aug. 19-23, 2019, or until supplies last.
Form a team to divide the hunting. However, each team member must present a completed playing card to claim a prize.
Fabulous prizes await successful scavenger hunters, including the wildly popular periodic table T-shirts, small beaker mugs, large periodic table beaker mugs, and frame-worthy Georgia Tech posters. Supplies are limited, so don't tarry; win early.
