SciTrek
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Science & Technology Museum of Atlanta, usually known as SciTrek, was located in Atlanta, Georgia. Due to lack of funding from the state, it was forced to close in 2004, but hopes to reopen again later. All of its displays were sold or auctioned.
One of the top ten science centers in the U.S., SciTrek housed more than 140 exhibits appealing to all age ranges. The interactive displays offered visitors the opportunity to explore and discover the marvels of the scientific world, with a special Kidscape section specially designed for the two to seven years age group. The Mathematica exhibit detailed the major achievements in the history of mathematics from the twelfth century as well as explaining mathematical formulae including the laws of planetary motion and probability theory. Other exhibits focused on generating electricity in unusual ways, creating energy from magnetism, 'freezing shadows' or stepping inside a kaleidoscope.
