  <title><![CDATA[Georgia Tech Kicks Off Atlanta's Biggest STEM Party March 6-7]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>The 2020 launch of the Atlanta Science Festival, &ldquo;<a href="https://arts.gatech.edu/content/2100-climate-odyssey" target="_blank">2100: A Climate Odyssey</a>&rdquo; at Georgia Tech&rsquo;s Ferst Center for the Arts, takes place March 6 and&nbsp;is designed as an&nbsp;&quot;immersive theatrical experience that transports audience members to a possible future that looks at life after a century of climate change.&quot;</p>

<p>The ASF opening weekend at Georgia Tech also includes one of the most unique experiences in music performance on March 7. The&nbsp;<a href="https://guthman.gatech.edu/" target="_blank">Guthman Musical Instrument Competition Concert</a>&nbsp;showcases nine&nbsp;global finalists playing unique instruments created for the competition. It&#39;s free and open to the public.<br />
<br />
New this year as part of&nbsp;the Guthman event is the&nbsp;<a href="https://guthman.gatech.edu/fair?mc_cid=5630f343d4&amp;mc_eid=%5bUNIQID%5d" target="_blank">Music, Art, and Technology Fair</a>, hosted by the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.music.gatech.edu/?mc_cid=5630f343d4&amp;mc_eid=%5BUNIQID%5D" target="_blank">Georgia Tech School of Music</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="http://www.cycling74.com/?mc_cid=5630f343d4&amp;mc_eid=%5BUNIQID%5D" target="_blank">Cycling &rsquo;74</a>. It&#39;s&nbsp;a unique opportunity to share projects at the intersection of art and technology in a hands-on, interactive, science-fair format.</p>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
