Dear School Leaders,
We would like to invite your students to participate in the third annual Atlanta Public
Schools Student Technology Fair. We have a wonderful experience planned for the
students of APS and are thrilled to give them an opportunity to showcase their work.
Each student that competes in the district fair has a chance of advancing to the state
technology fair.
Technology and Instruction are making history in the landscape of education. The
Common Core Standards have revolutionized what is possible with instructional
technology and students. We are excited to present a student technology fair whose
main focus is to highlight your students and teachers and their innovative use of
technology everyday for teaching and learning.
The Common Core Curriculum has afforded us the opportunity to engage students in
meaningful learning that showcases the extent of what they are capable of doing.
Assessments will go beyond multiple-choice questions to include extended response and
technology enhanced items, as well as performance tasks that allow students to
demonstrate critical-thinking and problem-solving skills.
Educational Technology Specialists are available on your campus to help facilitate
technology-focused work on student projects in the following categories:
●
3D Modeling
●
Animated Graphic Design
●
Case Modification
●
Digital Photography
●
Digital Video Production
●
Game Design
●
Hardware
●
Individual/Team Programming
●
Mobile Apps
●
Multimedia Applications
●
Non-Animated Graphic Design
●
Non-Multimedia Applications
●
Project Programming
●
Robotics
●
Technology Literacy Challenge
●
Web 2.0 Internet Applications
A local school technology fair is not required but we request that leadership team
members view projects that will be registered for the District/State Technology Fair.
Registration for student projects should be submitted to the school educational
technology specialist if they meet the requirements of the state technology fair rubric.
We look forward to working with your teachers and students in providing your school
with representation at the district technology fair.
Sincerely,
Aleigha Henderson-Rosser
Executive Director, Instructional Technology

FAQs
REGISTRATION
What are the steps for registering students for the 2015 APS Technology Fair?
School Educational Technology Specialists(ETS) will disseminate Tech Fair Registration forms
to School Designated Technology Fair Liaisons, who will submit completed registration forms
for entrants to the ETS.
Who does the registering? Each school will have a designated liaison who will submit all
registration forms for the entrants to the assigned Education Technology Specialist. The School
Assigned Technology Specialist will submit forms into the District Database. School Technology
Fair Liaisons will receive a confirmation of all registered entrants by December 17, 2014.
How many projects may a student enter? A student may register for one project in the
Atlanta Public Schools Technology Competition. A student may enter as an individual or as a
member of a team, but NOT BOTH.
What is considered a category? The Technology Competition categories are descriptions of
types of entries. The categories are listed above in the category section as well as on the Georgia
Technology Fair Website(www.gatechfair.org)
How many projects may be entered from each school? We are excited for each school to
enter a maximum number of two (2) projects per category
How many students may be on a team? A team consists of two students only. These rules
are consistent with the state tech fair rules.
What if team members are in different age groupings? If the grade levels of team members
fall in two different age groupings, the team will compete in the age grouping of the older
student. These rules are consistent with the state tech fair rules.
Must both team members attend the competition? The team can be represented by one
registered member.
TIMEFRAME
What time do I need to be there? Students will receive a judging appointment time this year.
Appointment times will be sent to each school tech fair liaison to be disbursed to students.
Students must check in at least 30 minutes before their appointment time. Our judges are on a
strict time schedule and each project must be judged at the given time. There will be no
changing or trading of times after the appointments have been set. There will be absolutely no
trading of times on the day of the competition. The times have been arranged to
APS TECH FAIR 2/7/2015 15
FAQs (Continued)
consider all the projects in each category, the room placement, grade level groupings, and the
awards ceremony.
JUDGING
What time does my student compete as he/she has other commitments that day? Each
project will be assigned a specific judging time. The student must check in at least 30 minutes
before the scheduled judge time, but they can leave after they have been judged. When
registration is closed, we will give a more specific time as we will know how many projects have
been entered. Due to many factors, specific judging times cannot be requested.
Must I be present to compete? Yes, students must present his/her project and be interviewed
by the judges. At the time of the judging, students will be required to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Use the program or applications software to demonstrate their projects.
Demonstrate an understanding of the software as it relates to the project.
Explain the various aspects of the creation of the project.
Defend their choice of software for the project.
Show their documentation to the judges.
Answer judges' questions about the project.
Students unable to attend the Tech Fair may submit projects for the Showcase.
Do I have to remain at the Tech Competition all day? No, you only need to be at the Tech
Competition from an hour before your judge time until after your project is judged. If you check
in more than an hour before your assigned judge time, you may leave, but be sure that you are
back in time to set up and be ready for judging.
What awards are given for the Tech Competition? Awards will be given in each
grade/category for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.
How will winners be announced? Winners will be announced on the Atlanta Public Schools
website and through the Technology Fair Liaison at each school.
With what other projects will my project be compared? All projects within a category in
the same grade grouping will be judged by the same set of judges. For example, the same judges
will see ALL 7-8 Digital Photography projects. Therefore, the same judges compare the
attributes of every project that is competing in a given category and grade level.
How are the winning projects determined? Teams of two judges will interview each
participant for no more than 15 minutes and see the project. If a project (video, slideshow,
presentation, etc.) is longer than about five minutes, the judges will view just a portion of
APS TECH FAIR 2/7/2015 16
FAQs (Continued)
the project. The judges use a rubric guide and suggested questions to evaluate each project.
After completing the judging of all projects in a grade/category, the judges will rank the projects
and the top three will be recognized. All decisions of the judges are final, and the Tech
Competition staff does not change judging results.
Can I see the judge's materials after judging is over? Judge's materials are not shared.
Judges turn them over to Competition officials until after the Competition closes at which time
they are destroyed. All decisions of the judges are final and Competition officials do not change
any judge's results. Tech Competition planners appreciate the dedication of the judges who give
up a Saturday to help make the Competition a reality and we stand by the decisions of the
judges.
Why isn't the Tech Competition set up like a Science Fair with open viewing for parents
and students? Science Fair judges evaluate projects in the absence of the student who created
it. Projects are static displays that are set up and left for viewing by judges and visitors. Tech
Competition judging is interactive and involves judges meeting with the students who created
the project. Most Tech Competition projects are not static displays and must be observed in
operation. If judge interviewing were going on with visitors moving throughout the judging
area, it would be very hard to hear and to focus on the project and student. Students come to
the Tech Competition from all across the county. We have a limited time in the building and to
require the students and volunteers to arrive early and stay late after the competition is not
feasible.
Can adults or other students help me with my project? Yes, it is perfectly acceptable to
receive help from others when working on your project. However, the project is to be a work
by the student or student team of two. Any help should be to assist the student in the creation
of the project and judges will expect a student to explain ANY aspect of a project's function. If
someone else helps you do something, be sure that you understand how to explain it to the
judges.
I can't be here for my judge time. Can I switch with a friend?
No. We do not allow any changes in schedule, as it is a balance of categories, grade levels, judging
space, and judging times. Changes in judging time could result in other students not being
judged fairly or a great delay in the awards ceremony. Please arrive at least 1 hour before your
judging time and understand that you will have 15 minutes prior to your judging time to set up
your project. (Robotics will have 20 minutes for set up.)

FAQs (Continued)
LOCAL TECHNOLOGY COMPETITION
Must there be a Technology Competition in my school? No school is required to have a
local competition as long as there is some process at the local school level to determine which
students may compete in the Atlanta Public Schools Competition. If the school DOES have a
local competition, it must be held before registration closes on December 17, 2014.
PLEASE SEE YOUR SCHOOL EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY SPECIALIST FOR ADDITIONAL
QUESTIONS.
