What is the KIDS
Club?
Georgia Tech’s K.I.D.S. Club is a program
designed to enhance and encourage curiosity and
enthusiasm for science, mathematics, engineering and
technology. Students in grades 2-5 are invited to
join our student-centered, hands-on discovery
sessions on Saturday mornings from 9 am to 12 noon.
During each meeting, students will rotate and
experience three different hour long activities.

When does KIDS
Club meet?
There will be two unique KIDS Club meetings:
a fall meeting and a spring meeting. The activities
at the two fall meetings are identical, and they are
repeated so that more students will be able to
experience these activities. Therefore, choose only
one fall date to attend. The spring meetings are
also identical.
Fall dates: October 24th OR November
14th
Spring dates: January 16th OR February
20th

list?
If all of the KIDS Club meetings are
completely full, we will begin placing students’
names on a wait list on a first come first serve

If a space becomes available, we will contact you
directly.
