All first place regional winners are invited to compete at the State Technology Fair Competition to be held March 9 at Middle Georgia State University in Macon. Students will face more than 500 competitors from all over Georgia. As elementary and middle school students gain experience and knowledge by competing in various categories, they can work toward rewards in the future as high school seniors are awarded heavily at the state level. The state competition sponsor, Georgia Educational Technology Consortium, will award scholarship to senior winners in each category.
