The 2017 Georgia Gravity Games

The Georgia Gravity Games is a gravity-only car race competition sponsored by Google, Georgia Tech and the City of Douglasville. The Georgia Gravity Games are an educational, hands-on activity designed to get young people excited about STEM subjects.

This exciting event is a way students can take the concepts they learn inside the classroom and apply them in a fun way. The 2017 Georgia Gravity Games will be held on November 4, 2017 in downtown Douglasville. For more information visit: http://www.gagravitygames.com.

SCIENCE STREET
New to this year’s Games, Science Street will feature STEM-based games and activities from nearly a dozen exhibitors for competitors and spectators to enjoy throughout the day.

NOT PARTICIPATING THIS YEAR?
While we would love for every team to return for another day of STEM-filled fun and excitement, we understand that some will not be able to compete for one reason or another. That said, there are nearly a dozen teams that are interested in participating this year, but must acquire sponsors and/or donated kits before they can move forward. If you are interested in donating your car from last year’s race, please reply to this email and let us know! We would love for as many teams to have the opportunity to enjoy the Gravity Games experience, and you can help make that happen.
 
If you have any questions leading up to the Games, don’t hesitate to reach out by emailing contact@gagravitygames.com or visiting: www.gagravitygames.com.
 
We look forward to seeing you at this year’s event!
