The success of extreme data logging was at least in part because of the strong partnerships among personnel from Bluepoint, Texas Instruments and Fantasy Garden. Though the benefits for students at Bluepoint engaged in extreme data logging are clear, there was also a return for industry partners. Texas Instruments has received widespread publicity about the educational applications of their data loggers. Similarly, Fantasy Gardens received publicity for the use of their theme park as an educational site. From the outset of the program, Bluepoint sought assistance from its industry partners, and over time these partners have benefitted directly from their ‘investment’ in extreme data logging. Mutual benefit was the optimal outcome of school-industry partnerships in this case.
