About Georgia Chief Science Officers
Georgia Chief Science Officers (CSO) is a STEM leadership development program for middle and high school students, enhancing students’ leadership, communication, and project management skills. Students are empowered to lead STEM/STEAM initiatives at their schools and in their communities. CSOs build relationships with STEM industry mentors and connect with companies and careers in their region. In 2024-25, the program includes 80 students from 29 schools in Atlanta, Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, Marietta City, Paulding and Rockdale counties. Check out some recent news about our CSOs.
The program is part of the CSO International consortium, led by the SciTech Institute in Arizona. Georgia CSOs are joining more than 1000 other CSOs in Arizona, Oregon, Michigan, New York, Delaware, Florida, Pennsylvania, Texas, Mexico, Kuwait, and Kenya.
Georgia Chief Science Officers is a program of Science ATL, engineers of Atlanta Science Festival, and was launched in 2018 with funding from The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation. Special thanks to our current sponsors: UPS, Cox Enterprises, and NCR Foundation.
