My free-time studies and blog posts have take a backseat in the past week due to my recent acceptance as a finalist in the Civic Tech Pitch Competition at Data Days CLE 2018. One finalist will be awarded $5000 to develop their project, so I have been working on the slide deck for my Civic Tech Pitch, a biometric student attendance system. I am honored to have advanced to the finalist stage and excited that I even get a chance to pitch my project! But I also believe in the value of an automated attendance system to improve student safety, especially in light of the abduction, rape, and murder of a local student in 2017.
