Important Enrollment Information
Please read the Site Coordinator 101 below to take stock of some of the changes for the 75th Annual Los Angeles County Science & Engineering Fair.
Site Coordinator Responsibilities
To be a Site Coordinator, you must be an adult designated by the school, site, or district administrator, or a lab researcher at a sponsoring institution. When you enroll your site online, you will have to include your position at your site.
In the Fall, the Site Coordinator needs to:
- Go through the entire Site Coordinator 101 slide deck and complete the Google Form.
- Log in to our online registration site and create a new account. (opens August 25, 2024 and closes January 24, 2025)
- Enter school and contact information in the online registration site.
- Make sure the enrollment fee has been paid or complete a form for a fee waiver
- Become familiar with the Rules and Regulations including what types of projects require pre-approval
- Oversee student research and experimentation
In the Spring, the Site Coordinator needs to:
- Determine the projects that will represent the site at the 75th Annual Los Angeles County Science & Engineering Fair
- Communicate online student/project registration procedures to students
- Approve online the projects and students that will participate in the Fair
- Recruit volunteers and/or judges to help at the Fair
3 Steps for School Enrollment
- View the Site Coordinator 101 presentation and complete the Registration form.
- Once all information is online, download the School Enrollment Fee /Waiver Form and mail in with payment.
- Wait for an email from our system that contains your password; use this password to log in to our online registration system at app.lascifair.org; enter information into the fields.
Monitoring Your DashBoard
Once you are registered for the fair, Site Coordinators and teachers should be keeping track of the status of student submissions.
You can see:
- what has been submitted,
- what is awaiting verification from supervisors,
- what has been denied and pending resubmission,
- and what has been denied a second time.
You can go into the student submissions to see what needs to be fixed so you can advise the student.
This helps prevent projects that are denied by LACSEF because students did not fix their proposals.
