PROJECT CONCEPT

This project will help young children learn how to properly kick a soccer ball. This smart soccer shoe will provide kids feedback in a friendly, easy-to-understand way in order to allow them to improve.

MOTIVATION

Learning how to properly kick a soccer ball is very challenging, especially for kids. Children have short attention spans and coaches can get easily frustrated and sometimes even yell at them. Rather than having a child experience the emotional anguish or discouragement after being screamed at by a coach, our smart shoe will provide colorful feedback in a fun and friendly way.
