Locomotor Cards(Meghan Fuga)

What are QR codes?From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response Code) is the trademark for a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional barcode) first designed for the automotive industry in Japan. A barcode is an optically machine-readable label that is attached to an item and that records information related to that item.
