Now, many schools' organizer, especially elementary schools, can use this awesome cyber tool for the coming Science Fair season. I do think many Science Fair organizers want to do this way. However, there are many obstacles to go high tech. In my previous experience, sponsor, school or parents prefer to keep the old style. The reasons are: 1) Volunteers are unable to spend too much time to build or to learn the high tech tool. 2) Sponsors are worry about of a decrease of partcipants because many parents are likely to sign up their kids by paper form rather than electronic form. 3) It is commonly believe that the elementary students should focus on reading. In my opinion, we can use more high tech tool for organizing Science Fair if more daddies can volunteer their time in Science Fair.
