Free kit available with 30-day trial of Bento 3; runs on Mac, iPhone and iPad

FileMaker announced a free, easy way for students to succeed by organizing their busy daily lives using the new Bento 3 Student Survival Kit. When students download a free, 30-day trial of Bento 3 for Mac, they receive a set of beautifully designed, ready-to-use templates for organizing lecture notes, courses, group projects, special events and job searches. The templates in the kit are an integrated set of student organizing tools.

The Student Survival Kit works with Bento 3, FileMaker’s popular personal database for the Mac, and can be synchronized for use with Bento for iPhone and Bento for iPad (sold separately). Bento 3 offers new ways for students to view and interact with their information—including integration with Mac OS apps like iPhoto, Address Book and iCal —so they can organize photos, contacts, projects and events and link all of the details together into one database. Bento 3 also works with templates offered through the Bento Template Exchange, a site that showcases real-world templates for Bento that students can browse, download and import into Bento 3.

“A student’s life is filled with a flurry of activities and projects that can become overwhelming,” said Ryan Rosenberg, vice president of marketing and services for FileMaker, Inc. “Our Student Survival Kit combines the latest features of Bento 3 with templates that give students a leg up in organizing their lives. It gives them many of the tools required for success in school, and in the job search at graduation.”

The Bento 3 Student Survival Kit makes organizing the details of a busy life fast and easy. It includes these five pre-designed, ready-to-use templates: Read more
