Johns Creek High School students have until Friday, Oct. 30, to sign up for the 2026-2027 Fulton County Student Technology Competition. The district-wide contest covers 12 categories, including robotics, animation and video production.
The school posted a call for entries on Oct. 26, pointing to last year's results as a reason to get involved. At the 2026 competition, seven JCHS students earned awards, including four first-place finishes.
Four students took top honors: Amara Anyanwutaku in Video Production (9-12), Rhea Upadhya in Multimedia Applications (11-12), Aniket Tank in Physical Computing (11-12) and Sharanya Shetty in Video Production (11-12).
Three more earned second place: Sowrish Sithanathan in Web & Mobile Apps (9-12), Ishaan Kejriwal in Programming (11-12) and Moksh Somayajula in Web & Mobile Apps (11-12).
Students can compete individually or in teams of two across 12 categories: 3D Modeling, Animation, Audio Production, Digital Game Design, Digital Photo Production, Graphic Design, Multimedia Applications, Physical Computing, Programming, Robotics, Video Production, and Web & Mobile Apps.
The district competition is set for Jan. 9, 2027. First-place winners at the county level advance to the Georgia Student Technology Competition on March 13, 2027.
According to Fulton County Schools, a team of two judges evaluates each project. Students give a presentation of up to five minutes, then answer interview questions for five to six minutes. The questions focus on the development process, creativity and the student's understanding of the software used.
Judges score entries on originality, clarity, appropriateness of technology used, and overall design. Medals go only to projects that meet the competition standard. Entering a category with few competitors does not guarantee a win.
Students who want to represent JCHS should complete the school's online interest form by Friday, Oct. 30. The district competition follows on Jan. 9, 2027 at North Springs High School from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.
