Slide Notes
Just over 5700 P-12 students and 1,500 adults were registered to attend and supported the 2015 STLP State Championship in Lexington, Kentucky’s Rupp Area/Lexington Center. Over 360 schools from 94 districts came to show what they know.
Rupp Arena/Lexington Center officials estimated between 8,000 and 9,000 people attended STLP15.
The State Championship allows students from across the state to come together and demonstrate for other students, school and community persons what they know and can do with technology.
All STLP schools are welcome to attend the State Championship to learn and achieve. There are no registration fees. All schools attending must register online- including the number of students attending.

Showcase Projects offer an opportunity for STLP students to observe a need in their school or community and utilize technology to develop and implement a solution. This journey is based on the vision of the students and, with the guidance of the STLP Coordinator/Teacher, active, authentic, cooperative and inquiry-based learning will occur throughout the process.

Judges
Can't do State without them!
Student projects, products and services are a vital part of the STLP program. Schools may participate in different levels of involvement. There are three main events that need judges: Fall Showcase, Winter Virtual Judging and State Championship. Students gain leadership and technology skills when asked to talk about what they know to someone outside the school building or display their work virtually.
Each school needs to provide judge(s) for each event in which they participate: fall showcase, winter judging and State Championship.
The majority of judges will be assigned as a Showcase Project Judge. Other adults will be asked to judge in several other areas. People that have very specific talents and expertise will be matched when possible with that area of expertise. (Example: Art judges have talent in art.)
Judges will not judge their own school.
A school needs one judge in the fall, one if the school has entered winter virtual judging and one judge for each Showcase that attends State Championship (or just one judge if school chooses to only participate in live performance events at State Championship) and help score. The same judge or several judges may help in one, two or all three events.
Projects, products or services will not be scored if a school does not have a judge. Nor will the student be allowed to enter a live performance category at State Championship if there is no judge on site.

Selecting Judges
Super duper important
How does the school decide whom to ask?
Has your judge scored at Regionals, DPOJ judging or state before?
Can your person be trusted to evaluate other school projects, products, or services?
Is the person able to drive to the event?
How much time does the judge have to judge? (1/2 day for Fall and 1 full day for State)
Is the person retired and willing to put their expertise to good use?
Does the person have specialized expertise?
Does the person understand the use of technology?
Will your person read and reply to any emails in a prompt fashion?
Is the person dependable and polite?
Can the person work with others to record scores and get all final documents complete?
Will your judge keep scores and discussions to themselves?

Minecraft
UPDATED for 2016: Dell/Microsoft Gaming: Minecraft
We’re excited to announce a new approach to the STLP Gaming competition at #STLP16! This year, the Gaming competition is focused on Minecraft, but instead of individuals competing on-site at State, the competition has shifted gears to become a Team challenge with work on the game before arriving in Lexington!
Each school can select a team (any size from 1 student and up) to complete the challenge as described in the new rubric ( download at
http://stlp.education.ky.gov/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/STLP16_Gaming_Minec... .
Each team will share their Minecraft build with the category leads prior to State, with final judging happening at the Championship.
But don’t worry, we’ll still have Minecraft set up at #STLP16 for students to explore and experience in a walk-on setting. Although the competition is separate, we are still thankful that our partners from Dell and Microsoft will be sponsoring the STLP Gaming Room at State for everyone to check out and experience this powerful learning software, Minecraft.
Please be sure to carefully read the new STLP Gaming Rubric before registering. Any questions should be directed to: stlpgaming@education.ky.gov
