The Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville has three upcoming events worth noting:

1. This Thursday, Feb. 3, at 7 p.m., a professional archaeologist will discuss the Leake Site, a major archaeological discovery in the Cartersville area. (This is billed as an adult program, but I see no reason why it wouldn’t be appropriate for a teen with a keen interest in archaeology.)
2. Junior Astronomy Workshop on Friday, Feb. 11, from 6:30 – 8 p.m.,  for ages 5 and up. (UPDATE: As of Feb. 8, this workshop has no spaces left.)
3. Family Science Night, Friday, Feb. 25, from 5 p.m. – 10 p.m., will offer hands-on activities for kids, planetarium shows and a tour of the observatory.

If you find these appealing, don’t let the Cartersville location discourage you too much. Tellus is just one minute off of I-75, so while it’s not right up the road, it’s easy to get to.
