The system uses electronic components available on the market and is connected and operated on the C++ programming language. When student ID cards are scanned, schools, teachers and parents can keep track of students' entrance and exit time; and check students remaining on campus after school time and get informed of those remaining at school via automatic broadcast which gives immediate detailed information for the school to check if there are any students unable to leave the class for some reasons. The system can also shut down the entire electrical system in each classroom after class and take temperatures of students when entering school.
This is one of the 6 projects awarded the first prize in the provincial 2020 - 2021 Scientific & Technical Creation Contest and also the only project by junior high school students winning the first prize. 148 projects by 250 students showed diverse ideas in various fields sharing the same goal of seeking solutions to practical problems in life.
Students at Phan Boi Chau High School, Cam Ranh City wished to improve the 10th graders’ adaptation to their new learning environment. Le Quy Don Gifted High School (Nha Trang City) applied information technology to simulate anatomy in medical observation. Students from Ngo Gia Tu High School (Cam Ranh City) found solutions to raise awareness, attitude and behavior of students about COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control. Students from Ly Tu Trong High School (Nha Trang City) designed software The Plantae to identify and provide scientific information of plants.

Many participants showed confidence, good knowledge and passion for science. This contest contributed to the innovation in teaching and testing methods, promoting learners’ capacity and inspiring research and application of knowledge in real life.
