Teaching Static Web Development with NFC Technology
This project introduces students to the basics of static web development through the creation of a digital business card. Using Glitch as the development platform and NFC chips for easy sharing, students will build personalized web pages that showcase their academic background, personal info, work or project experiences, goals, and social links. The result is a smart, modern way to network and share professional profiles with a simple tap — perfect for students looking to boost their digital presence.
- Difficulty Level: Easy

This project uses HTML, CSS,JavaScript, NFC Chips, and QR Codes
Programming languages where HTML defines the content and structure of a webpage, CSS styles its presentation and layout, while JavaScript provides interactivity and dynamic functionality.
NFC (Near Field Communication) chips are small integrated circuits that enable short-range wireless communication between devices, facilitating contactless data transfer and transactions.
