Hi! My name is Nick. My project is called "Expediting the School Check-In Process." This project is a software application that I made that could go on a device at our school's front desk like a tablet. This application would be used to minimize the time an administrator, such as Mrs. Dodds, has to take to analyze and enter information about students who have either come to school late or are leaving school early. I got this idea last year when Mrs. Dodds asked me to make something of this sort for her. After considering other ideas, this is what I chose because I had enjoyed a coding class last year and thought that I would expand on that class.

Idea of how I believed that the device that the application would be on would be set up at the front desk
Sequence diagram of how I envisioned the main check-in and check-out function would work
This is a base application that I made earlier in the year to get a base idea of what I wanted to do.

These are the final diagrams that I made for this project. They include:
An Entity Relationship Diagram
An Administrative Use Case Diagram
A Student Use Case Diagram
An Admin Report Sequence Diagram
A Check-In Sequence Diagram
A Check-Out Sequence Diagram
These are surveys that I created to find out how students and staff felt about the application I had made.

This is the data from the surveys that I gained. The biggest response that I was given was that I should add more color and make the screens more creative. Green text is what I implemented, yellow text is what I somewhat implemented, and red text was not implemented.
This is the code that was created for the application.

Conclusion/Future Work
My criteria and my engineering goal were met. I hope to continue this project next year. I want to finish the report screens so the administrators can gain useful information from the software. I also want to add on a component that will allow students to get a pass printed automatically for them when they check into school so they can go to class. I believe that this program will help any school with a manual attendance process and lunch selection process.
