Through our Education Initiative partnership with Expercraft, we are able to offer "Simple Log" project logging for Education Initiative participant schools and organizations through this web site. "Simple Log" is an outstanding web-based tool which helps you track the progress of an aircraft construction project, including costs, and creates a publicly-viewable web site of your project's construction log.

In order to foster a sense of community among Sonex Education Initiative participants, and as a way for Sonex Aircraft, LLC to ensure that education-discounted products are, in fact, being used in the organized education of youth, participation and maintenance of Expercraft Simple Log accounts on this site is mandatory to Sonex Education Initiative participation.

We know that creating and maintaining project log can be a challenge in a group/educational situation. Here are a few options for making log entries:

• If you have a computer in the classroom or available nearby building, set aside 15 minutes at the end of the lesson for creating a log entry.
• Take lots of digital pictures. A basic camera is quite inexpensive to acquire if you don't already have one.
• Appoint a "computer expert" from among your students to be in charge of creating the log entries. Rotate this position among your students.
• Let the kids log in to Expercraft Simple Log from home and add entries as a homework assignment.
• Take on the task of logging yourself, if you have the time. It is actually very easy.
• Use the web site generated from your log to keep other faculty, students, parents and financial boosters in touch with your project. It is a great way to brag about how much the kids are learning.

If you have any questions or problems concerning Expercraft Simple Log functionality on the Sonex Education Initiative web space, please contact the Sonex Web Team: sonexweb@sonexaircraft.com
