Digitize is an automated attendance monitoring system for schools. Currently, attendance is taken manually via a painfully slow process that detracts from the day's lesson. We sought to replace this outdated method with a modern solution that checks in students with a quick and simple tap of their student ID card. Teachers receive real-time updates of every student that checks in and can view attendance records for easy grading at the end of the semester.

Technologies used: IoT, AWS S3, CloudFront, API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB, SNS, REST, Websockets, CodePipeline, CloudFormation, React.js, Node.js
