Bluetooth Registration System

Inspiration

Students no matter who they are enjoy ease of use. With this system, registration becomes much easier and less time consuming.

What it does

Allows students to sign into lectures, seminars and tutorials just by enabling Bluetooth at the beginning.

How we built it

We used a Raspberry Pi and Bluetooth API to detect bluetooth devices that once linked to a student, can be used to sign into lectures, seminars and tutorials without doing more than enabling bluetooth

Challenges we ran into

We originally intended on using Java however as the current Raspberry Pi 3 does not support javac this halted this method and forced us into using Python; a language which none of us have much experience with

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We managed to produce something which we honestly believe will make a difference. More than a simple in and out system.

What we learned

Over the course of the hackathon it feels like we have all learned another language; Python

What's next for Bluetooth Registration System

We hope to get the university involved so that they can implement this into everyday life at uni making student life a little bit easier and a little bit less wasteful with paper
