Five fun days filled with Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math! (STEAM)

STEAM Break is taking over Tellus with hands-on fun, live demonstrations and mind-blowing discoveries. Each day brings a brand-new lineup of special guests ready to wow visitors of all ages! From LEGO™ robotics and life-sized droids to rideable hovercrafts and real fossils you can take home, we have something new happening every day.

Specia guests + Activities 

Monday - Meet the Techno Titans as they showcase their LEGO™ robot, built as part of the FIRST LEGO™ League’s Unearthed challenge, exploring how technology can assist archaeologists in the field. Then head over to Georgia Tech’s SENIC outreach table, where you can discover the world of nanotechnology through hands-on demonstrations of real nanotechnology products.

Tuesday - The force is strong on Tuesday! Grab a photo with fan-favorite droids, R2-D2 and BB-8, and try your hand at robotic engineering with our Scribbles. Then, electrifying live demonstrations, featuring a Jacob’s Ladder, Plasma Globe, Electrostatic Generator and more.

Wednesday - Kick off the day with a visit from the North Cobb Library Bookmobile to learn about careers in library science and experiment with ink! Then, join us for a special STEAM Break Lunch + Learn, with WSB-TV Chief Meteorologist Emeritus Glenn Burns. Make sure to stick around after the talk to check out the tools of a weather station, whip up a cloud in a bottle and create your own viewer to identify clouds in the sky.

Tellus Volunteer Nick Johnson will also be on hand to share his stunning astrophotography and provide tips for capturing some nice stars using your phone or cameras.

Thursday - Thursday features activity stations where guests can tackle magnetic tile builds, “touch” the stars with a tactile constellation activity and try their hand at surgery techniques with our laparoscopic dome. Plus, make sure to catch one of three performances of “Wheel of Science” — a live theater show that brings scientific concepts to life. Showtimes: 10:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. and last approximately 30 minutes.

Friday - Finish the week with a bang! Berry College’s Hackberry Lab students bring magnetic mayhem with race magnet cars, stack repelling rings and the chance to climb aboard a real, rideable hovercraft to experience Newton’s First Law of Motion in action. Then, visit with the University of Georgia’s GeoAmbassadors. Explore careers in geology, make your own fossil to take home, watch a liquefaction earthquake demonstration, and discover how rivers shape our world. Plus, don’t miss the chance to see pieces from our special Bill Montante fossil collection, not usually on display.

Look for Tellus Blue Crew carts throughout the galleries. They will be out all week long to bring extra hands-on fun!

Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum—an acclaimed museum dedicated to celebrating and preserving America’s maritime legacy—is delighted to present “Beyond the Plate: Sea and Sky,” an exciting new solo exhibition featuring nautical-inspired, mixed-media art by Rob Strati, from September 25, 2025, through April 12, 2026. 

“Beyond the Plate” will showcase new work by one of America’s hottest contemporary artists. Strati has recently enjoyed sold-out exhibits at Duane Reed Gallery in St. Louis and FREMIN Gallery in New York and has sold work to top international art collectors in New York, London, Hong Kong, Dubai and beyond.

Strati’s art incorporates broken porcelain plates that have been embellished and adorned with creative details. The exhibition features the artist’s latest bold, kinetic mixed-media works and limited-edition prints as well as an ambitious site-specific installation that will be suspended from the ceiling of the Ships of the Sea atrium.

All of the art in “Beyond the Plate” will be available for purchase, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum.

How many chickens do you weigh?

How tall are you in apples or inches or pennies? Can you use your foot as a ruler?

Explore these and other questions in this new interactive exhibit in the Discovery Garden!

It may be common to measure using standard tools such as measuring tapes and cups, but Measurement Rules explores non-standard tools such as balancing scales, odometers, calipers, 3-D imaging and counting “Mississippis.” Explore this exhibit and become confident in the language of measurement through length, weight, volume and time.

The museum is closed Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day.

We’ve all imagined what it’s like to live and work in space, but only a select few have done it. Opening on Oct. 10, those who have lived in space will share their experiences with visitors in our newest traveling exhibition, Journey to Space.

Using hands-on and large-scale interactive exhibits and multimedia components, Journey to Space gives visitors a glimpse at the extraordinary conditions of human space travel, as well as the unique challenges and rewards of life on board the International Space Station.

We’ll learn how spring is a seasonal tug-of-war. Glenn Burns, Chief Meteorologist Emeritus WSB-TV, will explain how cold, dense air escaping the polar vortex (a large area of low pressure and cold air surrounding Earth’s poles) crashes into warm, moist air moving up from the Gulf of Mexico. The result? A collision which becomes the “engine” for mid-latitude cyclones and severe thunderstorms.

Stick around after the talk to explore a weather station, capture a cloud in a bottle, and create your own cloud viewer!
