Upcoming Science ATL Events

Nature Navigators: Cochran Mill Park

2024-10-19T14:00:00.000Z

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.

Discovery Walk: Emory University

2024-10-20T14:30:00.000Z

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.

Unleash your inner Mad Scientist and bond with your kiddo, all while discovering the magic of biochemistry!
