Re: Time Clock System/looking for ideas as extras
Years back our team also used a time clock computer program and a barcode reader (students wore cards with name and barcode). The program was quite cheap and used very little computer power and a cheap barcode reader. All it did was say when the student came in and scanned when they left. If the student didn't sign out I think we gave them only 1 hour. At that time there were so many students on the team we had to limit the trips to the top 20 students that spent the most time. An effective means to keep students coming if they want to participate at the regional.

The program really only needed the student name, barcode# and the time clock software logging the times in and out. Dont do anything fancy or it would get old and annoying.
