SciPath
From idea through publication
Plan the project. Meet the requirements. Keep the record.
Solo students
No club, no lab, and no teacher with time is the normal case rather than the hard one. Run your project, meet what the fair actually asks for, and finish with a record worth linking to.
Educators
See where every project in your program stands and what is missing, without chasing each student for it. Keep what your club knows from graduating with the officers who knew it, and give them a defined role under your oversight.
Schools, clubs and groups
Run a repeatable research season with your own calendar, roles and public record. Free to adopt and free to keep running, hosted by us or on your own infrastructure.
A good project is lost to a form signed a week late, an approval nobody mentioned, a deadline that moved, or work scattered across a folder, an inbox and somebody else's memory. Those failures are procedural rather than intellectual, they fall hardest on the students whose schools have the least to spare, and software can catch every one of them.
Dates, checked
The forms that must be signed before experimentation begins are checked against the date the work actually started. Getting that order wrong disqualifies students every year, and it is the single failure that no reminder email reliably catches.
Work, recorded
Field notes are appended and timestamped, never edited. A wet lab student photographs a notebook page; a software student pastes a commit summary. Both satisfy the same requirement.
Work, published
A permanent, indexed, citable record with its own URL, so a student can link it from an application years later and it still resolves.
