Registration
This year, we have a new process for registration. The State Tech Fair has developed a registration process that will allow the regional tech fairs an easier registration process. Information gathered will be used for by the region to register the first place winners for the state competition. (Please note, the state asks for a t-shirt size. This is for the state tech fair. All regional first place winners will receive a t-shirt when they attend the state tech fair. Other information may be asked which may not be used by the region but will be needed for the state fair.)
We request that only the advisor register the students to keep duplicates and other problem registrations to a minimum.
Each project entry will need to complete the two forms (1) Student Consent Form and (2) Project Submission Form to bring to the fair. Both forms should be given to the judge(s). Please have only one person per school to complete the registration form found in the Documents Center.
This form is designed to allow you to enter data on the form, print a copy for your records, and email a copy to the Tech Fair.
The West Georgia Technology Fair will be at the Centre for Performing and Visual Arts in Newnan, Georgia on Friday, January 27, 2012.
The deadline to register is Wednesday, January 18, 2012. This deadline is to allow time for the tech fair staff to arrange for judges, set the judging schedule, and other preparations needed to make the Tech Fair run smoothly. Late entries cannot be accepted because changes after this process has begun would require us to start all over again.
Grade level divisions are as follows:
- Grades 3-4
- Grades 5-6
- Grades 7-8
- Grades 9-10
- Grades 11-12
- except for Multimedia Applications in which divisions are 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
Students must be registered by their current grade level. Students entering as a team must compete at the grade level of the higher grade of the two team members.
The Hardware category is restricted to 7th grade and above only. The Individual and Team Programming Challenge categories are limited to 7th grade and above only. All other categories are open to 3-12 competitors.
All categories are open to team competition except for Individual Programming Challenge. Except for TPC, teams of two compete with individuals in all categories. Teams are restricted to a maximum of 2 participants.
Only first place winners will advance to the state competition.
Registration for the State Technology Fair will be completed by the West Georgia Technology Fair director. An invitation, by email, will be sent to the advisor of the first place participant. A RSVP to this invitation is required to advance to the State Fair.
The State Fair will be held in Macon, GA this year.
