Get your own free science fair website
Once you
sign up, you will have your very own
gorgeous science fair website for your school, where
students/parents can go to learn all about your
science fair and register online. The website is
completely customizable and will even have your school's logo or banner to give it that familiar
appearance. Check out
this example.
Raise money for your school
As the science fair coordinator, you can sell science
fair display boards and header boards through your
website. You can buy the boards at any wholesale
supplier, and make a nice profit from the sales to
help fund the costs of your science fair.
Save yourself time
When students provide their science fair registration
information online rather than on paper, the amount of time you save is immeasurable. You
never have to work your way through a stack of
papers, manually typing the data into a spreadsheet.
If a student wants to update their information after they've already registered, they don't have to call you on the phone.
Teachers get the information they need
Of course, at the center of every science project is
the student's science teacher. All of the student registration information is accessible to teachers
through the website, so that they have what they
need to guide and coach their students. The teachers
will be pleased that they no longer have to process the paper forms either!
Be friendly to the environment
By conducting your science fair bookkeeping
online, you will reduce the amount of paper that
you consume. By not sending each student
home with a science fair flyer, an information
sheet, a registration form, and an order form,
you could potentially save four reams (2000 sheets) of paper.
And if any school event should be setting the shining example of how to be green, the science fair should lead the way!
Send email to registered students
When your science fair registration is handled
online, it becomes trivially easy to send out
email reminders or other information to all
the students (and parents) who have registered.
In fact, we've made this a one-click operation,
so you can get the word out whenever you need to.
Add excitement with a slide show
Parents can upload digital photos of their
young scientists hard at work on their
projects. You can then use those photos
to produce a slide show which you can project
onto the big screen during your science fair!
Parents save time and money
When students/parents register for your
science fair online, they can conveniently
purchase a project display board as well
as a header board from you. They'll save
themselves a trip to the store, and they'll be
helping to fund your science fair.
