Technology is already part of the game — we’re just making sure our community knows how to play it. Tech Tourney tipped off at Stanford during the Stanford vs. UNC matchup with @stanfordmbb . Students explored how AI is shaping basketball—from performance to strategy—using real-time tools like the Hooper app. Education + culture + competition = new pathways into tech, through the lens young people know best: sports. Huge love to @shoepalace , @memre.tech , and @thehooperapp for making it happen. The tour continues! More to come soon.
