Gifted Atlanta

If you’re looking for STEM activities and content, here are four things to check out:

1. Georgia Tech’s CEISMC K.I.D.S. Club and STEAM Workshops are registering students in grades 4 through 12 for workshops that will take place on March 13. CEISMC also is signing up students in grades 6 through 8 for the next round of its after-school STEAM Whistle Workshops, which will begin March 9. All workshops are being held virtually.
   
2. The annual Atlanta Science Festival returns March 13-27. Many events this year will be virtual. Some are being held in person outdoors. As usual, there is a vast slate of programs. Go to their website to search and sign up. This year’s festival will not include the Exploration Expo, which is usually held on the final day of the festival in Piedmont Park.
   
3. The Georgia Research Alliance has launched a YouTube channel called Xplorers, with videos featuring real college students who talk about what it’s like to work in some of the leading scientific laboratories at Georgia universities.
   
4. STEM Gems, a company (with an associated book) aimed at encouraging more girls to pursue STEM careers, will host its STEM Gems Summit on March 20. This virtual event will allow girls (and boys, too), parents and educators to meet women working in STEM fields and learn how to prepare for STEM careers. Tickets to the event are $30 and up.
