Through outreach, we help ensure a bright future for science and mathematics, attract future talent, and build support for the data-driven approach to problem solving. By engaging with diverse audiences, we let it be known that doing science and mathematics is fun and great joy can be derived from uncovering the workings of the natural world.

Frontiers in Science

Through this lecture series, the College of Sciences hosts renowned scientists in and outside of Georgia Tech to engage with the public. Invited lecturers share the excitement of their discoveries and give nonexperts a taste of how scientists tackle and solve complex challenges through creativity, experimentation, and rational discussion.

Atlanta Science Festival

Georgia Tech is a founding member and a platinum sponsor of the widely popular Atlanta Science Festival. Institute participation is coordinated through the College of Sciences.

The week-long festival aims to expand the community of science enthusiasts in Atlanta and to inspire a new generation of curious thinkers. In venues throughout the city, curious people of all ages explore science and technology and how they are connected to our lives. Scientists and educators from Atlanta-area museums, schools, universities, and companies share the excitement of discovery and problem-solving through hands-on activities, facility tours, and riveting performances melding science and art.

College of Sciences faculty, staff, and students are fired-up participants, using the occasion to showcase unique hidden talents and share the joy of science. From comedy shows and punk rock band spoofs, to explaining the science of beer and cheese, to a full-blown science fair for Latino students and their families, the College of Sciences programming for the festival has something for all types of science-curious folks to enjoy.

Promoting High School Mathematics

Each spring semester, the School of Mathematics hosts Georgia Tech’s annual High School Mathematics Day.

The goal of HSMD is to make math accessible, fun, and engaging for students of all levels. Schools from any state are welcome to participate.
