You will get an email from ‘NoReply’ with reset information. Make sure to check your SPAM in case you don’t see it.
Log in to your account at wnyic.zfairs. If your student has registered their invention on their own, you will need to know their login information.
When Registration opens, create an account and register your Inventors at wnyic.zfairs.com and enter your inventor. If the parent/guardian is unable to assist the student in registering, the teacher or program leader needs to be the primary contact as an email will be sent to verify the email address as will all emails, post registration. The email will come from ‘NoReply@zfairs.com”. Each inventor will need a separate account, though they can have the same password (if the teacher is uploading many students, this will be easier!). Please go to the FAQ about teams if you are up loading team projects.
