To all TU/e students

In the Netherlands many children unfortunately don't have access to proper sporting facilities which doesn't give them the opportunity to do and develop themselves in the sports they like. For this reason, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) is working on making tools available to improve sporting skills for all children in the Netherlands, especially for those who cannot afford it. Hundreds of children will be affected by this, allowing them to improve and enjoy their sporting skills!

On November 18th & 19th, PwC is therefore organizing a hackathon event on the grounds of Hockey Club Den Bosch together with the Data Science study association D.S.A. Pattern and the Eindhoven Artificial Intelligence Systems Institute (EAISI) and you can be part of it!

So, do you enjoy sports and do you want to improve sporting possibilities for other children, then subscribe for the hackathon or the business case!

1) Hackathon - What will you do?

During this hackathon, you will create a training assistant which can motivate sports players and help them improve their techniques. What makes this hackathon so special is that the data will be provided in the form of videos. By making use of video analysis techniques, you will get a new perspective on how technology can play a role within sports!

2) Business Case – What will you do?

During the business case, you and your fellow students will take the role of a consultant team. You are asked to develop a business plan for the go-to-market/ implementation of the digital training assistant developed by the Data Analytics team. After developing the plan, you and your team will be asked to pitch your ideas to a jury of experts.
