Students in Ms. Gerri McDonald’s Humanities, Project Jubilee and Enrichment classes recently competed at the Regional Technology Fair held at Coastal Alabama Community College (formally Faulkner State).
Since October, students in grades 3 through 8 have been researching, creating and editing projects in a variety of categories. The categories include General Applications, Multi-media, Video Production, Hardware Robotics, and a Technology Literacy Exam. For each category, students may compete as either individuals or in groups. There are “levels” which are Level 1 – 3rd/4th grades; Level 2 – 5th/6th grades; Level 3 – 7th/8th grades; and high school.
Those who finish in first or second place qualify to compete on the state level later in the spring. All students in grades 3 through 12 take part in the Technology Literacy exam.
