FireTech provided tech courses for kids aged 8-17 through a year-round program, delivering over 8,000 learning experiences across the UK, Europe, the Caribbean, Australia, and the Middle East.
To enhance child safety during courses, I developed a student registration system for FireTech. This system, designed to run in kiosk mode in a browser or compiled into a native Android app using Apache Cordova. It featured:
- On-premises student check-in and check-out.
- QR scanning powered by client-side JavaScript libraries.
- A dedicated back-end server to support multiple client connections while being offline which runs on a Raspberry Pi.
- Ability to sync with the company’s main database when an internet connection was available.
- Record detailed attendance data for child safety
The project was a success and was subsequently used at all FireTech in-person courses.
