Avogadro Success Story with Science Olympiads

Since its original inception in 2001 with the Wisconsin State-level Science Olympiad competition, the Avogadro web-based scoring system has been helping Science Olympiad competitions score their results quicker, more accurately, and more securely than ever before.

Avogadro enables event coordinators to enter scores in parallel, with basic error checking done by the system to ensure scores are legible and accurate. Various tiers of security allow Science Olympiad committees to delegate control while still maintaining an overall view of the competition(s) in progress. Built in phpBB message boards allow committee leaders to give support and receive feedback before and after the competition. Regional- and state-level competitions can be hosted in the same place, and user access individualized to specific regional competitions or overall competitions for a given state. Science Olympiad organizers can choose between the national scoring method or various state-derived alternate scoring methods. Easy administrative control allows administrators to lock competitions down to enable/disable scoring of events, and viewing of results by the general public. Results are easily viewed in grid formats and can be broken down by school for easy publication to local news sources, and to more easily facilitate the awards ceremonies at the competitions themselves. Recursive backups to local computers provide rolling-back to prior data, should corruption occur and gives access to the results data should the Internet connection be lost during the competition.
