On December 13th, nearly 200 of Barrow’s best, brightest, and boldest students competed in the school system’s fourth annual Student Technology Competition. These students presented 130 projects nominated as top performers from among Barrow County’s elementary, middle, and high schools. Participants presented to a panel of judges in an interview format that showcased each project’s functionality and intended purpose. During their interviews, students described the creative processes and technical understandings they used throughout the development of their projects.
We would like to congratulate each of the following Student Technology Competition champions in their respective categories and divisions. These champions will be receiving gold medals and certificates in recognition of their superlative projects.
