The Atlanta Science Festival is back for a 12th year from March 8-22. 

“We’ve got 140-ish events happening over the course of those two weeks — everything from a neuroscience dance event to some coding events to hiking Stone Mountain with a geologist,” said Meisa Salaita, one of the festival’s co-directors. 

“And you know, it doesn’t matter what you like — even if you don’t like science — there is something connected to something that you like in your backyard,” Sailita said.
