About the challenge

PhysTech is a student-organized online hackathon for anyone who does, watches, analyzes and promotes any physical activities - including sports, workouts, fitness exercises, casual hobbies/pastimes and recreational adventures.

PhysTech welcomes any types of physical activities. Sports and physical training are in. Yoga, pilates, ballet? Of course. Swimming, kayaking, cycling, dancing, skateboarding, rock/mountain climbing, hiking, horseback riding? Sure. Fishing, bowling, paddleboarding, scuba diving, rafting, cheer leading, outdoor bird watching, gardening, kite flying, disk golf (frisbee), or cornhole? Why not!

Not only athletes and recreational players/practitioners, but fans, coaches, referees/judges and analysts are also welcome.

PhysTech offers you a platform to address various needs, wants and challenges in physical activities and produce creative solutions (hacks) with technology.

PhysTech welcomes anyone of all ages and all technical skills, from limited experience to advanced.

Entry is free.

Expected project topics include, but are not limited to:

* Monitoring and enhancing performance

* Logging and tracking practice, training, and exercise

* Recording, analyzing and communicating activity data

* Applying data analytics to physical activity

* Enhancing fan experience

* Increasing participation/engagement in physical activity

* Promoting health and wellness though physical activity

* Preventing and helping heal from injuries

* Improving dietary and nutritional assistance

* Protecting and improving the environment for physical activity

 

Solutions can take many different forms such as apps, games, social platforms, web sites/services, devices, sensors, robots, audio/video, data collection/storage, data analysis/forecasts, data visualization, information retrieval, and 3-dimensional modeling/printing. PhysTech is hosted by Binnovative, a nonprofit organization in Massachusetts.

Book chapter publication: We will publish a book that features the projects presented at PhysTech 2024. Selected participants will be invited to extend their project descriptions and publish them as book chapters. We are planning to publish this book through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing.
