Hosted on the Georgia Tech campus and supported by GA Tech faculty and staff, Summer Extravaganza has allowed students and teachers to experience authentic learning with the world’s experts in hazardous waste, robotics, engineering, environmental science, and applied mathematics. In the fall of each year, students and teachers return to their classrooms invigorated and eager to learn and teach.

It was also born from a need to involve community and expand learning opportunities beyond the traditional school day.
