B. Developmental Statement
As the coordinator for a STEM exploration academy and Innovation Specialist for North Hall
Middle School, I realized that my county does not have a forum for students to showcase STEM
products. After researching several organizations and competitions, I wish to implement a
regional technology fair. Not only will this experience give my students an authentic audience,
connect them with potential mentors, and introduce them to like-minded gifted and talented
peers with same interests, I feel that this opportunity will tie into the curriculum of our state
standards, curriculum and programming for the gifted and enrich authentic opportunities.
Opening up the fair to the students of Hall County will bring awareness of gifted pedagogy as it
relates to current curriculum. The fair involvement will connect parents and the community to
our students. Further, the opportunity to participate in a STEM competition could ignite a
passion and interest of STEM learning in our culturally diverse, economically disadvantaged
and female students. Winners of our regional fair will be eligible to participate in the Georgia
Technology Fair held in Macon in March. Senior level winners at the state fair are awarded
scholarship money for college.
