The Story

The Science and Technology Museum of Atlanta, popularly known as SciTrek, was a hands-on science center that operated from 1988 to 2004 at 395 Piedmont Avenue Northeast in Atlanta. For a time it ranked among the larger science museums in the Southeast, offering interactive exhibits that introduced generations of visitors, especially schoolchildren, to physics, technology, and the natural sciences. Financial difficulties led to its closure in 2004, and its programs and mission are remembered as an early pillar of hands-on STEM education in the city. Its legacy is discussed by institutions such as the Atlanta History Center, which has reflected on the museum's place in local memory.
