Future Tech Leaders: Next Play — Sports & Tech Experience for Youth

Presented by Future Tech Leaders, a 501(c)(3) youth tech nonprofit based in Atlanta dedicated to introducing students to real-world technology careers through hands-on experiences.

Future Tech Leaders: Next Play is an immersive sports tech experience introducing students ages 6–18 to careers in Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Data Analytics, and UX/UI Design through the world of sports. No prior experience in sports or technology is required.
