Marietta Center for Advanced Academics is a magnet 3rd through 5th grade academy providing a rigorous academic program in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects. Based on the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS), the comprehensive, STEM magnet program uses a balance of texts and technological resources to provide an education that is challenging at higher levels, and faster-paced, than most traditional elementary learning environments.
Tech Matters is dedicated to creating collaborative projects that promote active experiential learning, with organizations that support authentic, experiential learning with a focus on the STEM subjects. The SPSU/MCAA Oceanography Video Game Collaboration is the product of a synergistic relationship between Tech Matters, Southern Polytechnic State University (SPSU), and the Marietta Center for Advanced Academics (MCAA) , who agree, learning does not occur in a vacuum.
