“We’re excited to launch this year’s T-shirt design contest,” said Meisa Salaita, Ph.D., executive co-director of the Atlanta Science Festival. “Last year’s contest was extremely successful and a true testament to the imagination, talent and curiosity of the next generation. This year’s theme, “Meet the Future,” is the perfect way to showcase the power of our local youth and encourage them to dream big and have fun while doing it—a notion that is at the heart of the Atlanta Science Festival.”

About the Atlanta Science Festival
The third annual Atlanta Science Festival is a weeklong public celebration of local science and technology that culminates with an all-day interactive Exploration Expo at Centennial Olympic Park. Scientists, experts and educators from local schools, colleges, universities, museums and corporations will uncover mysteries and explain discoveries through hands-on activities, facility tours, stimulating presentations and riveting performances for curious people of all ages. Our mission is to celebrate the inherent integration of STEM/STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) in our lives today, share the impact they have on our community, and inspire us all to wonder about our future. The Festival, which runs March 19-26, 2016, is produced by a collaboration of science, cultural and educational institutions, including the founding partners Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology and the Metro Atlanta Chamber.
