Collider Challenge
The premise of this Collider Sprint is simple; our campus has a premier athletics program and the best science, technology, engineering, and math programs in the world. This Collider Sprint will bring these forces together to create technology-based innovations that lead to athletic competitive advantages for athletes and teams. More information about challenges will be posted as we receive feedback regarding specific needs, problems, and challenges from athletics and industry.
Outcomes
The objective of this Collider Sprint is to have diverse teams build early prototypes (digital, physical, model, framework, algorithm, etc.) of technology solutions based on known challenges in various sports. Each team will take on one specific challenge during the Sprint. Teams will spend eight weeks going through ideation, user validation, testing, feedback, building, and presenting a final prototype to address their specific challenge. Challenges will fall into five very broad, flexible, and interwoven categories; Performance & Training, Health & Recovery, Fan Engagement, Scoring, Visual & Facility Technology, and Strategy, Data & Analytics.
