About The Challenge

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

PhysTech welcomes any types of physical activities. Sports, physical training and exercise are in. Yoga, pilates, jogging, cycling and hiking? Of course. Skiing, skating, swimming, dancing, ballet, kayaking, skateboarding, rock/mountain climbing or horseback riding? Sure. Fishing, bowling, paddleboarding, scuba diving, rafting, cheerleading, 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 science to physical activity


• Enhancing fan experience


• Increasing participation/engagement in physical activity


• Promoting health and wellness through physical activity


• Preventing and helping heal from injuries and illness


• 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, machine learning/AI, image/geospatial analysis, data visualization, information retrieval, and 3-dimensional modeling/printing. 

Book chapter publication: We will publish a book that features the projects presented at PhysTech 2025. Selected participants will be invited to extend their project summaries and publish them as book chapters. We are planning to publish this book through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing.
