We are pleased to have once again as event sponsors, Eiram Creative, Georgia Institute of Technology School of Biochemistry and Chemistry, Georgia Power, the Coca-Cola Company and American Chemical Society- Georgia Local Section We are also pleased to have small businesses Phoenix Computer Consultants LLC and Music for the People Entertainment as new event sponsors. In addition to our event sponsors, we are glad to bring back crowd favorites Georgia Bureau of Investigations (GBI) and Georgia Institute of Technology. “The impact that I have seen SEM Link have on young people has been incredible. When their eyes and minds are opened to the possibilities of how cool STEM is, it’s amazing.” Board of Directors Strategic Partnership Chair Mr. John R. Moore, III said. “Showing them things that STEM professionals do all the time and may take for granted; we need to show them, then show them how. That is exactly what SEM Link does at this event thanks to support from colleges and universities, corporations, small and medium sized businesses and government agencies.” SEM Link is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization, founded in 2005 in Atlanta, Georgia, that promotes student achievement and career exploration in math and science for K-12 students by connecting them with individuals with backgrounds in science, engineering and mathematics.
