STEP 1 / REGISTRATION FORM

Fill in the form

The form asks for your team leader, your team members, your school, your city and state, and one teacher who can be contacted. Have those to hand and it takes a couple of minutes.

Before you register. Make sure your parents and your teacher know you are taking part in SciHi.

OPEN THE REGISTRATION FORM

The form opens on Google Forms. Your details go to the SciHi committee at DEI.

STEPS 2 AND 3 / LOGBOOK

Keep your project log in Logbook

Logbook is where your team keeps the record of its project while it happens: what you tried, what failed, what you fixed, what you learned. Your mentor reads it and replies in it, and at the end it becomes your certificate. It works on any phone. There is nothing to install.

STEP 3

Make your team

One member taps Make a team, gives the team a name, types the teammates’ codes and taps Make our team. Logbook says how many a team can have. Your teacher joins as your mentor.

EVERY WEEK

Log your work, the day it happens

  1. Open Log today and tap what happened: Tried, Failed, Fixed or Learned.
  2. Write a line or two. To add a photo, tap Add a photo. If someone’s face is in it, tick Shows a face.
  3. Tap the teammates who worked with you, then tap Log it.

If there is no signal, the entry saves on your phone and sends itself later.

Failures count. A project with no failed entries is a project nobody believes.

The three tabs

Our team

Shows every entry. If your mentor sends one back, tap Fix it, change it and tap Send it again.

Project

When your team reaches the next stage, tap We think we’re at, tick the entries that show it, and ask your mentor to confirm. Feedback is where your mentor’s notes appear.

Me

Your journey, the skills your mentor vouched for, your projects, and your certificate when it is issued. Sign out is there too.

FOR TEACHERS

Mentor your teams

As a mentor you see the teams you take on, approve their work, send an entry back for more, confirm the stage a team has reached, vouch for the skills you saw, and write to a student alone. It takes a few minutes a week, on your phone.

A student’s page

On a team’s page, tap a student’s name. To vouch for a skill, pick the skill, tick the entries that show it, write one sentence about what you saw, and tap Endorse. To write to that student alone, tap Write to and send. Both go on the student’s own record.

Your page

Tap My mentor page to add your photo, your details and your links. Tick Publish my page and tap Save to share it. Your mentor certificate appears there when the organizer issues them.

Your data

The registration form collects your name, your team members’ names, your school, city and state, a teacher’s name and a contact number. It is used to run the hackathon: confirming your team, allocating mentors, and issuing certificates. It is held by the SciHi committee at Dayalbagh Educational Institute and is not sold or shared for advertising.

Logbook asks students only for a first name, the first letter of the surname, class and school. Photos that show a face are marked when they are logged.
