One of the most exciting things about our company is that we have a lot of fun.
We're not a software or technology company, but we have some really big news for people who are into sports. If you've ever wanted to find out what it would be like if you were in the Adidas labs where they make shoes and clothes, this is your chance. We've teamed up with companies like Adidas and Nike to bring their urban labs to life here at SPTLabs. Come along on an adventure with us as we uncover all of the possibilities that exist when it comes to becoming more technologically innovative in today's ever-changing world of sport.
What's a sports lab?
First, let's talk about why sports labs are so amazing. When you think about it, every sport is a giant laboratory of biomechanical and physiological science. So when we add computer technology to the mix, it becomes even more incredible. Think of our SPTLabs as a mobile lab that lets us teach and explore design in synthetic biology. It allows us to integrate art, engineering, and science in an innovative way with our sports-related projects.
How do we do this?
We'll be breaking down the walls between art and science and using technologies like robotics, data visualization, applied mathematics, and genetic engineering to create wearable technology that inspires us. We'll be teaching you in a way that will make you rethink the ways in which art and science can interact with each other. We don't want to provide an explanation of how our products work, we want to inspire you to create your ideas based on our lessons.
Who should apply?
Everyone who loves to play sports is invited. Whether you're a fanatic who thinks your favorite team could use some new gear or whether you're a casual fan interested in learning more about technology, this is the place for you.
What kind of projects are we working on?
We have four different sports that we'll be looking at throughout the year including basketball, golf, soccer, and tennis. For each sport we'll be exploring the following projects:
Athletic wear monitors body temperature, heart rate, and other data to increase performance and safety. These wearable technologies can help athletes of all levels achieve new goals. that monitors body temperature, heart rate, and other data to increase performance and safety.

What are my future career opportunities?
We're looking for people with a passion for sports, creativity, STEM, and art. When we've been in different labs as part of this project, we've discovered that many talented artists and musicians have a lot to offer when it comes to our programs. If you're looking for something more than just a chance to learn how design is used in the sports world, then here's your opportunity.
Conclusion
We're excited to have this opportunity to provide amazing experiences for you. SPTLabs is one of the most unique and amazing educational opportunities that you'll find. We're only looking for a few people because we want to maintain the high quality of our work with your help. So if you want to play sports with technology, this is your chance.
