GAP is proud to be a partner with the Atlanta Science Festival on both past and future events aimed at bringing science to the public.

ATL Sci Fest 2026 is over, please check back next year to volunteer!

Past ATLSciFest’s

2026: Exploring Physics Transformations in Motion and Matter

For ATLSciFest 2026, GAP used wheels, liquid nitrogen, and boiling water to show how conservation of angular momentum works, what happens when you boil water in a vacuum, and how liquid nitrogen affects different objects (eg. what happens if you put a balloon with gas in liquid nitrogen?)

2023: Science of Superconductors

For ATLSciFest 2023, we partnered with SPS to show participants quantum levitation with superconductors.

2021: Science of Circus

The Imperial Opa Circus amazed audiences with aerial acts, tumbling stunts, whip cracking, and more as Science Clowns explained the physical principles behind the wondrous talents. A young and inquisitive audience participated in physics demonstrations and even tried some of the stunts for themselves so they could feel the science at the tips of their fingers.

2017: Science of Beer

Selling out with over 350 attendees, the Science of Beer event was a huge success! SweetWater Brewing Company hosted in the Reel Room overlooking the brewery assembly line, with scientific demonstrations, homebrewing exhibits, and fermentation trivia. SweetWater scientists brew special casks unique to each year to exemplify certain scientific principles.
