Studio Notes

The Science Education Foundation of Indiana runs the Indiana Regional and State Science Fairs, and they came to us in need of a universal registration system for the students. The system we created for them tied all of the schools in the state together, linked teachers to schools as they registered, then linked students up with their teachers. The students' project information was stored in the database, as well. We also wrote an export routine so that when it was time for the State Science Fair, SEFI was able to export the data that had been collected into a form that could be fed into an Access application they had been using for years to print out awards at the event.

Our association with SEFI began in 2008, with the system first being used successfully at the 2009 Science Fairs. They continue to move forward with the system, and we are consistently tweaking the system for them to improve it based on fair director feedback every year.
