TAG Field Trips
TAG Field Trips
About TAG Field Trips:
The TAG Field Trip program, established in 2005, has been enthusiastically received by our membership. The inaugural FT program was launched at Internap, followed by programs at McKesson and CheckFree.
Each program featured a presentation by one of the company’s corporate leaders; an in-depth tour; and a sumptuous reception. “There is no other program that regularly provides the depth, breadth, and scope of education obtainable provided through TAG’s Field Trip program”, says TAG CEO Tino Mantella. “Our participating members tell us that they are amazed at the level of detail each host company is willing to share and the significant take-away value they have receive through their involvement."
See the impressive ‘10’ lineup, below. This program is open only to TAG & ATP (Atlanta Telecom Professional) members.

Georgia Tech's Nanotechnology Research Center (NRC) is a research enabler, providing state-of-the-art equipment resources, staff expertise, training, and teaming environments to enable fabrication and characterization on the micro and nano scale. The NRC is supported by the National Science Foundation as the southeast node in the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN) and operates as an open, hands-on user facility. The Georgia Tech NRC provides a unique resource to researchers from the state, region and nation, to develop new microelectronics, optics, sensors and actuators and to evaluate unique nano-materials and surfaces with an emphasis on applications in bioengineering and biomedicine.
Research activity at the NRC is carried out in both the Pettit Microelectronics Research Building and the newly-constructed Marcus Nanotechnology Building. The Pettit building houses an 8,500 sq. ft. cleanroom with nearly 100 pieces of equipment, while the Marcus building includes (in Phase I) an additional 10,000 sq. ft. of semiconductor cleanroom space for nanoelectronic device (top down) fabrication as well as 5,000 sq. ft. of biological (bottom up) cleanroom space, including Biosafety Level 2 (BSL-2) bays. Additional space is provided for characterization and metrology, chemical processing, biotechnology, and meeting areas.
Nanotechnology is playing a vital role in technological advancement and continued innovation by offering miniaturization of existing devices, synthesis of smart materials, new chemistry and manufacturing routes. During this Field Trip, TAG members will have an opportunity to learn how this technology is implemented, get a behind-the-scenes tour of one of the most advanced cleanroom facilities in the nation, view demonstrations of advanced fabrication and characterization tools, and see some of the new prototypes and products that result from this research.

About Imagine IT!
Imagine It!, Atlanta's only children's museum, is the perfect place for children age eight and under and their families to learn and explore together in a safe and fun hands-on environment. Our open and interactive area is filled with unique, entertaining and educational areas to explore.
Our programming offers children the opportunity to use all of their senses in a unique and interactive way, while developing their knowledge and understanding of Reading, Social Studies, Math, Science, Language Arts and the Arts.
Imagine It! is more than a children's museum. We are a community resource for children, parents, caregivers, families and schools. We are deeply committed to the importance of play and its importance to the development and lives of all children. As a 501(c)(3) educational organization, we are dedicated to helping children learn who they are, how they interact and what is important to them.
