Wish you could attend the Atlanta Science Festival all year round? Good news! With support from Emory University, Science ATL also produces public science events for kids, adults and everyone in-between throughout the year. Check out our upcoming events below! And keep checking back! We’re adding new events all the time!
Upcoming Science ATL Events
Nature Navigators: Piedmont Park
2026-01-17T15:00:00.000Z
Join us in the heart of Atlanta, Piedmont Park! We'll hike around Lake Clara Meer and through the Six Springs Wetlands to discover what makes these ecosystems unique and what lives right under our nose in the City!
Meet Lance, our Lead Navigator, at the base of the Piedmont Park Public Car Park North (1301 Monroe Dr NE, Atlanta, GA 30306) that leads you into the Park, next to Magnolia Hall. Please note this is a paid parking deck that DOES NOT accept cash.
Nature Navigators leads us on adventures into (& out of) the green spaces found in & around Atlanta, while exposing the countless science experiments that nature is constantly running and how humans observe, influence, and are influenced by the natural world.
Consider these hikes as more of a scientific expedition through our local ecosystems. To that end, our entire journey will be a type of observational study and along the way we'll be making frequent stops to appreciate & ask questions about our surroundings.
Be prepared, it's almost time to slip away into the wild & ask nature why it's so weird! Pack water, snacks or a mobile meal, a smile and whatever else is appropriate for the respective adventure. Children are always welcome as long as they are able! Or you can backpack them!

Amped Up: The Physics of Rock & Roll
2026-01-31T16:30:00.000Z
Ride the soundwave and join us for an electrifying event where physics meets rock & roll!
We will kick off with a fast crash course on the physics of sound: think waves, amps, feedback and all the science behind the noise. Next, it's time to plug in for an extra fun jam session, ending with a performance that transforms theory into SHOW!
Please note that cancellations with more than 48h will receive full refund in credit format to be used in School of Rock - West Cobb or Woodstock music programs or camps. Cancellations with less than 48h will not receive a refund.
