Our Georgia Exploreum build team—made up of community volunteers and Exploreum members—has been hard at work turning recent grants from the Peachtree City Rotary and Kares 4 Kids into brand‑new mobile STEAM exhibits inspired by McIntosh High School STEM students. We’ve already added an earthquake table and a musical marble run to our collection, with more on the way. These exhibits will debut at upcoming community events, so keep an eye out for Exploreum experiences coming yo

McIntosh High School’s STEM team students wowed our Georgia Exploreum board with 29 imaginative, STEAM‑rich exhibit proposals designed for both our future museum and our mobile Exploreum outreach program. Guided by STEM teacher Seth Bishop, students delivered professional‑quality pitches that blended creativity, engineering, science, technology, and hands‑on learning. The team even surprised us with an AI‑generated rendering of their vision for the Georgia Exploreum—a glimpse

On April 9, 2026, co‑founders Kathryn Floyd and Adele Moore shared an overview of the Georgia Exploreum with the Peachtree City Rotary, answering questions and inviting members into the vision. Attendees—and even a few children—got hands‑on with our wind tunnel exhibit, experiencing firsthand the joyful, curiosity‑driven STEAM learning the Exploreum is bringing to the community.

On March 7, 2026, Georgia Exploreum shared its wind tunnel at Fayette County's Science Olympiad competition held at Booth Middle School. We were so excited to see so much excitement and engagement from both students and adults! This is the type of energy that fuels our enthusiasm to make Georgia Exploreum a reality for our area!

We visited McIntosh High School to launch our first student exhibit‑design challenge, inviting STEM students to pitch original exhibit concepts for our outreach events and the future Exploreum. Students will present proposals to our board, with selected designs moving on to full construction as we pursue grants to support the build phase.

Brought our wind tunnel to Huddleston Elementary’s STEAM Night, engaging an estimated 100–200 students and parents. Families rotated through hands‑on challenges, and the exhibit drew enthusiastic participation and strong positive feedback from the school community.
