    paper Event checkin voor capoeira world

    Korte beschrijving:

    Google form wordt ingevuld door de gebruiker, hier kunnen in de achtergrond scrips qr codes aanmaken en deze uitsturen via email met hun toegangscode.
    Achterliggend worden ook prijs berekeningen gemaakt en opgeteld hoeveel tshirts er nodig zijn can elke maat.

    De qr kan dan op het event gebruikt worden om met een custom app de info van de deelnemers te zien:
    Bestelde tshirt maat aan de tshirt stand,
    Prijs voor de inkom te betalen,
    Of iemand al betaald heeft voor het weekend,
    Hoeveel dagen hij of zij aanwezig is,
    Aantal bonnetjes voor eten, etc…
    Nu kunnen ze met de zelfde hoeveelheid mensen achter de kassa sneller inchecken, is er minder manueel werk vereist als voorbereiding en is het duidelijker voor de deelnemers hoeveel het event voor hun gaat kosten en gepast geld mee te nemen.

    paper Capoeira muziek app

    Ik heb een centrale applicatie gebouwd om alle muziek en teksten van de sport te verzamelen.

    Mijn Oplossing:
    Een eigen app-ontwikkelingsproject binnen mijn sportclub, Grupo International Mundo Capoeira.

    Het Probleem:
    Capoeira-muziek is essentieel, maar de bijbehorende teksten zijn vaak onvindbaar op reguliere platforms als Spotify of Shazam. Nieuwe leden hebben moeite om de liedjes te leren.

    Mijn expo App:
    Ik heb een centrale applicatie gebouwd om alle muziek en teksten van de sport te verzamelen. Met zowel een standaard library die lokaal op je telefoon staat als liedjes die je zelf kan toevoegen.

    De Impact:

    1. De liedteksten zijn nu toegankelijker voor nieuwe leden binnen de club.

    2. Ik heb functies geïmplementeerd voor het automatisch scrollen van de teksten, wat de leden ondersteunt bij het bespelen van hun muziekinstrumenten tijdens het zingen.
