University Assistant

A Raspberry Pi-based smart dashboard system in desktop clock form, developed for my “Internet of Things” course. It’s an assistant application that displays daily information, weather reports, cafeteria menus, and other features for university campus students. Information entry and settings can be done via phone. All operations can be performed with just a few words using voice assistant commands.
