To ensure the safety of students and event staff, GeorgiaFIRST has made the difficult decision to cancel the regional kickoff event that was to be held at Georgia Tech tomorrow.
Teams can watch the game reveal online here. Kit of parts may be picked up from the Atlanta Destination Einstein location on Sunday between 1-4pm. We are looking into rescheduling the workshops to a later date.
