Science ATL Events

Nestled in the Chattahoochee Hills neighborhood, Cochran Mill Park is a hidden nature gem! From streams to large boulders, plenty of native flora like azaleas and mountain laurel, waterfalls and even historic mills; this Nature Navigators adventure has something for everyone!

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! Well behaved dogs are welcome so long as they remain leashed in accordance with local regulations.

This event has reached capacity.

Science is all around us, often hidden in everyday places - where we live, where we play, and where we walk. Come explore one of these spaces with our latest Discovery Walk map of the Emory campus. Lucy, our Emory Discovery Docent will lead you on this 2.5 mile route through campus with ten intriguing science stops. Bonus - the walk ends at the Carlos Museum and your map will get you free admission!

Park at the Oxford Road parking deck. Exit to the elevator and proceed to the 3rd floor, following signs for "Undergraduate Admissions." Your guide will then meet you in the courtyard behind the building.

Please note this walk is not wheelchair or stroller accessible.

True, personal stories about science come to life! Join us for an intimate evening outdoors at Waller's Coffee to hear science stories from both scientists and non-scientists. You'll hear from a refugee doctor, a primate researcher, a psychology professor and more! Read about our storytellers and the show here.

SOLD OUT!

Spend a morning in the Lab with Science ATL! Students and their chaperone will work collaboratively through a series of experiments led by Dr. Katherine Davis and The Davis Lab at Emory University. This is not your regular chemistry; its a biology and chemistry mash up! That's right, for this Science ATL LABS, we're becoming biochemists! Crystalize proteins, add genes to make them glow in the dark, and learn how biochemists study the chemistry of living organisms. Unleash your inner Mad Scientist and bond with your kiddo, all while discovering the magic of biochemistry!

Ticket includes admission for one student + their one chaperone (adult 18 or older). To ensure safety of all participants: only students 6th grade and older will be permitted to attend; All students must be accompanied by a chaperone; One student + one chaperone per ticket.

Let's embrace the fall night sky with an evening full of space themed fun. From solar system crafts and space themed snacks to constellation tours, DIY telescope builds and high tech stargazing with Unistellar Stelescopes - there is something for the whole family!

This free, family-friendly event is made possible by our partners including The SETI Institute, Unistellar, Grove Park Foundation, Georgia Tech, and AREACH.

Gather your smartest friends (or the luckiest ones) and test your science knowledge! Join Science Friday, Science ATL, and Halfway Crooks for a jam-packed trivia night that’s part science-y facts and part pop culture romp! Bring your nerdy team together (or bravely play solo) to win ultimate bragging rights—and some real prizes, too.
