Attendance Tracker System

Inspiration

Attendance is a mandatory requirement for all students, however, it can be challenging to keep track of attendance amidst a busy schedule. Therefore, it would be helpful to have an alert system in place to notify students before they exceed the attendance limit.

What it does

This tracker will send out an email to the student when he takes the second leave as a reminder that only 1 more left with him on that subject. If he takes further leave, both the student and the corresponding staff receive emails regarding the lack of attendance.

How we built it

To build the tracker system, I utilized Python programming language and an xlsx file to store the attendance records of each student, as well as their corresponding email addresses.

Challenges we ran into

Initially, I encountered difficulties in establishing a connection between the Python code file and the Excel workbook. However, through some effort and perseverance, I was able to successfully establish the connection.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am delighted to have had the opportunity to participate in a hackathon independently, without any hesitation, and to have successfully developed a system.

What we learned

Python is highly advantageous when it comes to building a wide range of systems, as it provides flexibility and versatility, enabling developers to create virtually any type of system they desire.
