Data Model

The application uses a simple data model with meaningful identifiers:

1. Activities - Uses activity name as identifier:

   • Description
   • Schedule
   • Maximum number of participants allowed
   • List of student emails who are signed up

2. Students - Uses email as identifier:

   • Name
   • Grade level

All data is stored in memory, which means data will be reset when the server restarts.
