On September 23, 2026, Team Avenue Sports Group (TASG) ran a think tank with students from Professor Alexandro Castellanos's AI class at the University of South Florida. FootSnap was featured. AI, automation, and the path from demo to working system were on the table. That session is the start of our sports tech internships with USF students.
What a live brief is
A real problem from TASG or a partner, brought into the room with the operators who own it. Students work on it with them, not on a classroom case, and get feedback from people who will use the work.
What students saw on Sep 23
FootSnap turns a single smartphone scan of each foot into a 3D model and measurements. It is not a medical device. It gave the room something concrete: applied tech that serves athletes and partners.
Who it's for
USF students 18 or older who are interested in applied AI, sports tech, camp tech, and partner work. Internships are for adults.
