Please use the navigation bar above to navigate throughout the site.

All first place winners will advance to The Georgia Student Technology Competition (GaSTC), an annual student technology competition produced by the Georgia Educational Technology Consortium. The GaSTC is the highest level of student technology competition in Georgia with over 750 projects, representing the work of over 1000 students, which are judged at the competition each March.

More info about GaSTC:

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. 
The Atlanta Public Schools Technology and Innovation Competition is aligned with the Georgia Student Technology Competition (GaSTC). Please note the following important reminders:
​
  • All projects submitted must be designed and created by students. While some adult guidance is allowed, it must be evident that all work entered by students was completed by students.
  • Students who are unable to present their projects for whatever reason (including illness) may NOT use "proxies."
  • Only students who are part of the original registered team are eligible to represent a project at the fair. 
  • Projects for each category must be unique, and CANNOT be entered in more than one category.
  • Students can submit a maximum of 1 project.
  • Students are NOT allowed to switch project categories.
  • All 1st place projects automatically advance to the Georgia Student Technology Competition.  Projects will only be judged in the category in which they placed first at the regional fair.
