APS TECH FAIR 2/7/2015 2

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

Robotics Projects may be constructed from kits or published drawings, modified from other devices to create new applications, or constructed from the student's own concepts and designs. All entries must be a working and functional piece of electro-mechanical hardware in which movement and intent is controlled through student created programming. Examples of commercially available kits are robotic “arms” or robot movers, Lego and K'Nex style building kits, Capsella, VEX, and Technics style robotics kits. Devices controlled through direct, real time remote control by the student are not appropriate (ie: remote controlled cars). Once started, the robotics project should operate as a stand-alone independent machine without human interaction. You may have up to 2 people on a team. Teams and individuals will compete against each other within each grade grouping. Any student, regardless of grade, may compete on a team with a student in a higher grade, but the project MUST be entered in the grade group of the highest students' grade. Technology Literacy Challenge Written exams will be given on-site for each of the grade level categories. The exams will have 50 multiple-choice questions. Questions will be vocabulary and concept oriented. They will come from the following topic areas: History of computers Parts of the computer Peripheral computer devices Uses and limitations of computers General uses of common computer applications software New and emerging technologies The Internet Social implications of computers General programming (Level III, Grades 9-12, only) Questions for the Technology Literacy Challenge will come from information generally available in textbooks and reliable sources on the Internet. A suggested list of resources is available on the Fair web site. Computer magazines and television programs have discussed some of the social implications of computers. An oral exam may be used as a tie-breaker of three or more students. A list of suggested resources for the technology literacy challenge can be obtained from the Georgia Technology Fair Website(www.gatechfair.org) Web 2.0 Internet Applications Projects in this category have strength in their use on networks, either the World Wide Web or LANs (Local Area Networks).

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

Page 16: Atlanta Public Schools Technology Fair 2015

APS TECH FAIR 2/7/2015 16

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

Page 17: Atlanta Public Schools Technology Fair 2015

APS TECH FAIR 2/7/2015 17

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.
