A QR code (Quick Response code) is a two-dimensional barcode that can store information such as URLs, contact information, and other types of data. QR codes were initially designed to track automobile parts in the manufacturing process, but they have since been adopted for a variety of uses, including marketing and advertising, event ticketing, and product tracking.
The purpose of QR codes is to provide a quick and convenient way to access information or complete a task by simply scanning the code with a smartphone camera. This eliminates the need to manually type in a URL or manually enter information, making the process faster and more convenient for the user. QR codes can be found on various materials, such as advertisements, brochures, posters, and product packaging, making it easy for users to access additional information or take a desired action.
Be cautious when scanning QR codes, and only ever scan codes from trustworthy sources.
The QR code ID badges on the EdTech Trail will all have a "hologram" overlay of the ANME logo to ensure it is legitimate.
Most smartphones have a built-in QR code scanner in the camera app.
Align your camera with the QR code until it comes into focus.
The smartphone will automatically recognise the QR code and show a notification or prompt to open the linked content.
If your smartphone doesn't recognise the QR code, you may need to download a third-party QR code scanning app.
If your built-in camera app doesn't detect QR codes, try Google Lens:

There is nothing to submit at the end. Your progress is saved automatically. We will do the draws after the last day of the event and email all entrants to confirm their entry and to confirm valid addresses have been used. We will then email all the winners to inform them they have won, which prize, and if applicable, which company donated it.
Your progress is saved automatically after every QR code is scanned successfully as part of the Trail.
