Welcome back to a new school year! As students & teachers return to the classroom across the state, we are excited to kick off another year of learning and innovation. We have a lineup of programs planned & outreach opportunities scheduled. We look forward to connecting with you!

We had a great time at the @tellusmuseum on April 9, presenting Laserfest as part of their week of spring break activities. The laser exhibits included laser telephones, a white light hologram, and a lidar that displayed a live 3D model of the iconic brontosaurus skeleton.

Visit us at the @tellusmuseum for their Spring Break: STEAM Break event. We will be there on Thursday, April 9, 2026, from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm, presenting our Laserfest exhibition in the Great Hall. Look for our black tents beside the Brontosaurus skeleton.

We presented Laserfest at @SSEFGeorgia's 16th Annual STEAM Showcase alongside dozens of community partners presenting STEAM demonstrations and activities. We always enjoy engaging with students as they learn about optics, lasers, and laser technology.

We had an incredible time at the @ATLSciFest Exploration Expo! Thank you to the @ScienceATL team for organizing an amazing event and kudos to the GTRI team who were rockstars at the booth. It was great meeting ALL of the curious attendees. Can’t wait for next year! #AtlSciFest
