Outreach Program
Empowering Athletes with Data Analytics
The Roadrunner High School Outreach Program is dedicated to inspiring the next generation of athletes and students by showcasing the power of data science and engineering in enhancing athletic performance and decision-making. We aim to educate high school students on how data analysis and technology shape modern sports, empowering them with the knowledge and tools to explore what is possible with data-driven strategies.
Objectives
1. Awareness of Data-Driven Decision Making
Students will gain insight into how data analytics transforms athletic training and performance, equipping coaches and athletes alike with a strategic edge.
2. Educational and Career Path Guidance
Our program includes guidance sessions on educational paths and careers in data science, biomechanics, engineering, and sports analytics, offering students a glimpse into future opportunities and fields where they can thrive.
3. Hands-On Biomechanical Analysis
We offer complimentary biomechanical analysis for high school track teams, enabling students to experience how their athletic performance can be evaluated and optimized through science and technology.
Program Components
1. Interactive Seminar on Data Science, Education, and Career Paths
These seminars introduce students to the role of data in modern athletics. Through case studies and practical examples, students see how professional sports teams, coaches, and athletes utilize data to improve performance. We also provide resources and advice on pursuing education and careers in data science, engineering, biomechanics, and sports analytics, outlining the skills and opportunities necessary to build a solid foundation.
2. Biomechanical Analysis Sessions
Using video-based technology and analytics, we conduct biomechanical analyses of students during track practice. This hands-on experience gives students a real-time look at how their movements impact performance, showcasing the value of data in monitoring and enhancing biomechanics.
Impact
Our goal is to foster a new generation of thinkers, innovators, and athletes who appreciate the significance of data in sports and beyond. By equipping students with knowledge and awareness, we aim to inspire them to explore new ideas and technologies, make data-driven decisions, and pursue education and careers that align with these innovative principles.
