OVERVIEW
The Georgia Student Technology Competition (GaSTC) is an annual student competition that gives students the opportunity to showcase their innovative use of technology in daily learning. Started by Lou Dewberry in 2001, the GASTC is the highest level of student technology competition in Georgia. The competition is open to all students in grades 3-12 that reside in Georgia. In order to compete in the GaSTC, students must receive first place at a recognized regional technology fair.
All schools are encouraged to hold a local school TIC Tourney, in which they will submit their top 2 projects per category per grade band to participate in the APS Technology Competition. If schools choose not to host a TIC Tourney, it is requested that projects representing the school are approved to advance to the District Technology & Innovation Competition. This is to ensure that all projects submitted by students are of high quality and able to compete at the District & State level Technology Competitions. Additionally, local school TIC Tourneys allow all students within a school to participate in a technology and innovation competition with their peers.
