Why do we have a Tech Fair?
The Tech Fair gives students an opportunity to explore topics of interest and use the most appropriate technology to share their discoveries with others. The event aligns with and supports Bulloch County's Core Values while giving students choice and voice in their learning.
Who may participate?
Any student who is in 3rd through 12th grade in Bulloch or surrounding counties. This includes public, charter, private school, or home-schooled students. You may work by yourself or with one other team member.
What are some examples of Tech Fair projects?
3D models, animations, podcasts, graphics, games, slideshows, videos, websites, spreadsheets, are only a few of the many ways students share information about their topics. There are many Tech Fair Categories to compete in once you've identified a topic and a purpose.
What happens during the Tech Fair?
You'll be assigned a 15 minute time slot where you'll present your project and talk to Tech Fair judges.
What happens if you lose?
You learn. How? You get feedback, suggestions from judges about what you did well and what you can do to improve upon your work. Based on the helpful advice you get from judges, you might consider entering your project in another competition such as the Georgia Student Media Festival.
What happens if you win?
If you win first place in your category's grade band, you have an opportunity to compete in the state level in the Georgia Student Technology Competition on March 14th, 2020.
