Hall Pass Systems in Education: Seeking Guidance and Best Practices from the Arduino Forum

As educators, we are considering implementing hall pass systems in our schools to enhance student safety and accountability. However, we would like to gather insights and best practices from the Arduino community on how we can leverage Arduino boards, sensors, or other related technologies to create effective and efficient hall pass systems. Are there any educators or Arduino enthusiasts on the forum who have successfully implemented or have ideas for Arduino-based hall pass systems? We are particularly interested in understanding the hardware and software components involved, as well as any considerations for privacy and student well-being that have been taken into account.

Have you considered Hall sensors? :wink:

Seriously, what are the requirements in more detail?

Students carrying a pass can use the halls within certain time slots, otherwise an alarm/alert sounds?

To move around the halls, would locked doors prevent movement to anyone without a pass?

Must the passes be detected remotely as the student passes through unlocked doorways?

Not wishing to dissuade you from an undoubtedly interesting project I am interested to know why you want to build this around Arduino, which will be a lot of work to design, rather than using a commercially available system.

Software that tracks the location of children is a legal minefield.
Farm it out to a commercial company that knows all about data security and has the appropriate legal liability insurance.
