As a teacher, if you have a student who would like to register for the fair, you will need to register first. Once you are registered, your students will be able to select you as their teacher during registration.
One of the main benefits of registering as a teacher is that this gives you the ability to log-in, review, and manage all of your students and their projects. Students can also log-in to their own accounts to make these changes, and need to be responsible for their own entries. Our goal is to provide an additional tool to help move along any hold ups.
