A 72-hour international innovation sprint where 57 teams built AI-powered ideas for sports, media, broadcasting and data intelligence.
EVENT OVERVIEW
01 / THE BRIEF
Turboline set out to connect education with real industry problems at the intersection of artificial intelligence, sports and media. The challenge invited student teams across Asia to explore better fan experiences, athlete analysis, broadcast intelligence, automated commentary, sports journalism and referee decision support.
02 / OUR APPROACH
The hybrid program brought onsite and international teams into one three-day journey. Opening programming established the challenge while mentors supported continuous build rounds. An expert session expanded the teams’ thinking around AI research and midpoint presentations narrowed 57 teams to a Top 10. The final day combined technical review, submission, live demos, judging and awards.
