Development of Application

The prototype is a live camera that can scan a qr/barcode of a students id. The software can identify if the user is authorized or not based on dummy data that is stored in a text file. To develop the protoype we used Python and the Flask framework to create a website, and the site is being hosted on Netlify. Once the barcode is scanned, the user is prompted with a dropdown box of reasons why they were late. Once they choose a reason on why they were late, they can hit the submit button and then the students id and reason is sent to a Mongo DB database which I (Amani Bobo) am working on creating a way to send that data to an admins email/infinite campus.
