Meisa Salaita, executive co-director and co-founder, Atlanta Science Festival

STEAM, an acronym for science, technology, engineering, arts, and math, obviously plays a huge part in the business world, and Atlanta is quite the science town. And this week we’ll be taking a deep dive into the Atlanta Science Festival, a two-week celebration of science and technology. Meisa Salaita of Atlanta Science Festival joins Jon Waterhouse to talk about the Festival’s return March 13-27. This year the Atlanta Science Festival is a virtual and in-person hybrid with more than 80 events. Meisa discusses how the Festival has grown to be one of the largest of its kind in the country, how they’re pivoting during the pandemic, and why science is more important now than ever.
