Final Project Proposal¶
Current Idea Sketch¶
TRACK Lore¶
At my high school, physical fitness and general health are aspects of a student that are given utmost priority. The lifestyle is very active; the campus almost seems as though it was designed to make the students walk as much as possible to commute through classes.
However, another feature that the school has is morning physical. The students engage in about 30 minutes of a physical routine (including runs, calisthenics, yoga, aerobics, and workouts) to start the day on an energetic note. However, like the name implies, it happens in the morning, quite early (emphasis on the early).
Taking the hectic student schedule and all the school extracurriculars into consideration, it isn’t much of a surprise that morning physical attendance is an issue. This issue is something that I had in mind (considering my grade is going to be leading the activities for this year), and when I heard that the students were going to get personal “cards” this year, something clicked.
So my final project idea for this year is TRACK (The Royal Academy Card Keeper). TRACK helps the attendance system for the morning physical sessions. The prototype is a machine that allows a student to bring their card to attendance, swipe their personal student card in, go through with their routine, and then swipe out when their session is over. This information is sent to a database (something like Excel sheets), where a proper attendance record can be created.

FAQ¶
1. What does it do?
- TRACK (The Royal Academy Card Keeper) is basically a project that’s aimed at managing the attendance at my school. For now, the main idea is to use the student cards to log stuff (especially morning physical attendance), however, I plan on making more changes and making the project more versatile.
2. Who’s done what beforehand?
-
Going through past students’ documentations, here’s a list of projects that I find quite similar/useful to mine.
