ARFID: Automated ID System

An RFID-based automated ID system that records attendance. Awarded Best Thesis in Applied Sciences and Engineering.

This is our high school thesis project where we developed an RFID system from scratch using an arduino, spare PC, and RFID cards for student attendance, parent sms notification, and teacher class summary.
