Sports Medicine + Technology + Sports
Merging technology, sports medicine, and data analytics to expose high school student-athletes to science based careers in sports
At B.I.O. we are committed to serving our community and making an impact on the next generation. From 2018 to 2021 we partnered with a local non-profit to create the Empowered Youth Internship. Through this collaboration we provided STEM student-athletes with a hands-on case-based internship to expose them to careers at the intersection of sports, sports medicine, and technology. From the beginning our goal was to have a deep and lasting impact on a few special students. We are so happy to have successfully achieved that goal. Our interns have moved on and not only graduated high school and undergrad but several are pursuing higher education and making their own impact in their communities.
​​
We continue to maintain mentorship relationships with our interns today but the EYI initiative has been completed. Thank you to all the sponsors, keynote speakers, staff, and interns for making EYI a huge success.

The Intern Becomes the Case-study
Interns learn biomechanics and sports film analysis to understand injury.
Sanaa and Jorge, STEM students at Oakland Tech, spend the summer learning principles of physical therapy and sports code to analyze Jorge's ankle injury. At the end of the internship, they present their findings to physical therapists and staff at B.I.O. and TEAM.
"Our goal is to show students that there are many professional opportunities related to sports, both in sports medicine and technology."
