TechNia Program
Bridging sports and technology through coding, robotics, and innovative problem-solving.
Hack the Game
TechNia is our innovative technology program that bridges the worlds of sports and technology. We believe that the problem-solving mindset developed through sports can be applied to technology challenges, and vice versa. Through coding workshops, hackathons, and maker-labs, we encourage participants to explore the intersection of physical activity and digital innovation.
Our approach focuses on practical, project-based learning that allows participants to create technology solutions for real-world problems, particularly those related to sports and physical activity. We foster an environment of creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking where young innovators can thrive.
