The 2014-2015 Atlanta Public Schools Technology Fair will be held on Saturday, February 7, 2015 from 9:00 am until 1:00 pm at Benjamin E. Mays High School. The theme for this year's fair is "Let I.T. Go: Unleash Innovative Technology 21^st Century Ideas & Creations!" I have seen some phenomenal multimedia presentations and productions that would make great entries for the fair! In addition, there is a great category entitled "Technology Literacy Challenge" that allows students the opportunity to compete against other students based on their technology knowledge. Please view the State Technology Fair Website for information on each category. I look forward to assisting you and your students as they prepare to showcase their Tech Fair projects. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.
