Science and STEM fairs
ISEF paperwork is supposed to happen before experimentation. An event platform is a terrible first door: many students never compete, so they will not create a fair account just for SRC. Most fairs then only review forms at registration, after the work is done.
Free. No event account. Guided packet, signatures, download. For students who may never attend your gym.
Register, work the forms. They are not added to the event until they submit the project. Your participant list stays real.
Status colors, missing-form codes, short codes. Electronic or wet signatures. ISEF wizard or your own forms.
Judging, display and safety, special awards, awards night. Promote to state if you are linked. They do not advance onto Regeneron ISEF through zFairs.
Paperwork calendar vs event calendar. SRC capacity. Restricted research. Special-award judges vs grand awards. Minors and school records — FERPA and COPPA, not HIPAA.
ISEF Wizard, submit-to-enter, teacher dashboard, judging assignments, virtual interviews, floor plan, certificates, companion app. Paperwork catalog

“What zFairs has been able to do in four weeks is truly amazing.”
