Project Overview
The purpose of the BetaDelta Website is mainly to provide real-time updates on the availability of residential study rooms to the South 40 WashU student body. We will gather the data with a raspberry pi that is connected with a motion, light, and sound sensor. The website will have a couple of additional key highlights, the first of which will be easily accessible logs of past weekly study room availabilities. This will allow students to predict the timing and location of their future study sessions. The second key highlight will be the ability to see which subjects are being studied in rooms where students are open to collaboration on a user-input basis.
