Abstract
This paper presents the design and implementation of a smart fingerprint-based attendance system tailored for classroom environments. The system uses a Raspberry Pi 3 A+, a fingerprint sensor, and Google Sheets for automatic, real-time logging of student attendance. The system offers an efficient, secure, and user-friendly solution to track student attendance while minimizing errors associated with traditional manual methods. It eliminates the need for paper-based attendance management and integrates seamlessly with cloud-based storage, providing access to attendance data from any device with internet access.
