+#Stempirical
+
+Stempirical is a crowdsourced collection of age appropriate and engaging science experiments.
+What sets this site apart from similar sites is that in addition to showing the materials and instructions (the how),
+we also explore the scientific explanations behind the experiment (the why).
+Stempirical is a space where rainy-day science experiments are both entertaining and educational.
+
+This project was create by two Ruby on Rails developers, [Aaron Wiggins](https://github.com/aaronwiggins)
+and [Daisy Magnus](https://github.com/DaisyMagnus) and one Front End Developer, [Lindsey Miller](https://github.com/lindcmiller) from
+The Iron Yard Durham.

+* A link to our [ERD](https://www.lucidchart.com/invitations/accept/e9f80ee0-ad89-4b80-8cc5-246180c68e76) to get a better understand of our database structure
+* [Stempirical](https://stempirical.herokuapp.com/experiments) to see our site live!
+
+###To Run the App Locally
+* Clone our repo with this link [here](https://github.com/AaronLindsayDaisy/final_project.git)
+* `bin/rake db:migrate`
+* `bin/rake db:seed`
+* `bin/rails server`
+* Navigate to your localhost in your browser
+
+###To Upload Your Own Photos on Localhost
+* We've used the gem `paperclip` for uploaded files.
+* You'll need to create an amazon web services account [here](http://aws.amazon.com/s3/).
+* Create a bucket, name it whatever you want. This will be where your photos are stored.
+* You'll need to genereate your on AWS ID and KEY. Once you do, save those as
+local environment variables.
+* Our env variables are saved in the `application.rb` file in the config folder.
+* Change `stempirical` to whatever you named your bucket on your AWS account.
+* If your local env variables are saved with the same name as ours, that's all you have to do.
+If you created your own, you'll replace ours with whatever yours are named.
+* Restart your terminal and you will be able to upload your own photos to localhost.
+
