Its science!
On March 22nd - 29th, 2014, The Menzclub will be
attending at the Atlanta Science Festival.
The Atlanta Science Festival envisions a community of scientifically literate citizens and a strong STEM workforce in Atlanta. That vision begins with efforts to engage our youth in learning inside and outside the classroom. The initiatives below accompany many school programs offered by our partners and listed online. Imagine the future. What are the unanswered questions in science? What are the unsolved problems facing our community? How can young people envision themselves addressing the challenges of our future with STEM knowledge and careers? Classroom visits. STEM professionals will visit 100 local classrooms to give students a taste of how science is done, who scientists are, and what questions remain unanswered. Sponsored by Mercer University and Mercer Health Science Center.
