Family Night is open to the public

Fort Discovery contains year-round scientific exhibits and
demonstrations, and is easily accessible to the public from
the Riverwalk (1 Seventh Street) in Augusta. A 350-person
theater and a 150-person demonstration gallery enables SRS
to host a variety of speakers and technology demonstrations.
Each year, over 3,000 area school children, SRS employees
and the public visit SRS Technology Days events. Each year,
Technology Days is planned and organized by a committee,
with help from coordinators who solicit exhibits from within
their Business Unit. Exhibits will be categorized by National
Math and Science Standards to inform teachers and students
which school subjects they should study if they want to pursue
a career demonstrated by an exhibit.
