Gifted Atlanta

Sparticl, a new web site focused on science and technology, has emerged from beta and is now available for public use.

The site features articles, videos and activities designed to nurture teens’ curiosity in STEM topics at an age when, unfortunately, many kids lose their natural interest in science.

Topics being covered on Sparticl right now include space junk, concussions, the physics of baseball, DNA fingerprinting, tornadoes, enzymes, and the science of chocolate. The site is well organized so visitors can browse the area that interests them most.

Teens can browse the site, comment on the content, even earn points and badges for their participation in the site.
