0ES will be hosting it’s 3rd annual Technology Fair January 15, 2016.

This event will showcase the exceptional talents of our students in grades 3rd-4th and provide them the opportunity to compete with their projects.

11/30/15

All projects MUST be student created. Representing OES Students who place 1st or 2nd at JSU move on to

State (Usually held in April). Students may work in groups, pairs, or as

individuals. Groups may not be any larger than 2 people. Meetings before the school fair are optional. Meetings for those moving on to Regional Fair are

NOT optional. They will be for refining projects. Students are expected to meet all deadlines.

Deadlines are a part of the real world and must be met. Teachers will complete an evaluation of the students

participating in the school fair and that will be part of their overall score.

We will follow the rubrics and guidelines of the JSU Regional and the State Fair.

We have judges from our community come to judge the kids.Board Office Members Lt. Don Ridley JSU professors and teachersCommunity members

There are 6 categories in our technology fair:

1. General Applications 2. Multimedia 3. Web Site Creation 4. Video Production 5. Hardware-Robotics 6. Computer Programming

Let’s take a closer look at each category:

Students can do their projects on anything they are passionate about or any subject they have a lot of knowledge about.

Projects that have a school tie-in or that were directly assigned in class receive extra points at the Regional and State ACTE Technology Fair.

Students will compete in LevelsLevel I is 3rd and 4th grade

Students may enter more than one category, but may have only one project per category.

Students may enter an individual project AND be part of a group project within a single category.

Students can compete in a groups of no more than 2.

All projects need to be saved on a USB jump drive (flash drive)

All files, pictures, video clips, music, etc. will also need to be saved on that jump drive

Windows Movie Maker is VERY tricky sometimes if you try to create a project on a computer and copy it to a jump drive—it is best to begin the project by saving everything to the jump drive. That way everything will pull up wherever you are!

We will have space available for you to set-up a laptop if your project requires a certain program that we would not have at school.

Otherwise, your child will show their project to the judges by inserting their jump drive into a computer in the library.

There will be “practice” times available the week before the fair for students to bring their projects and make sure they pull up without “glitches”.

A project notebook must accompany every project.

There are details on the website and the handout.
