Falcons team up with NCR, Georgia Tech at STEM-themed field day

Players for the Falcons teamed up with the NCR Corporation to lead a STEM-themed (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) field day for kids at the M.R. Hollis Innovation Academy in Atlanta on Thursday and Friday. Representatives from Georgia Tech, along with the Falcons cheerleaders and mascot joined them.

NCR tweeted several photos from the event, which is part of a partnership that was announced earlier this week, meant to encourage children to get involved in science and math at an early age.

M.R. Hollis Innovation Academy is a K-8 Atlanta Public School that features an innovative STEM-focused curriculum in partnership with the Georgia Tech Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics and Computing. It opened in October and is named in honor of the late Michael R. Hollis, entrepreneur and founder of Atlanta Air.
