Exploring 3D Design and Sports Analytics: Workshop on 9 August 2025
Published on 9 August 2025
On 9 August 2025, the 3D Design & Sports Analytics Workshop was successfully held at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering & Technology, Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP). The program brought together a small but eager group of participants—one teacher and two students—for a unique learning experience that combined engineering, sports, and artificial intelligence (AI).
About the Workshop
The workshop introduced students to the fundamentals of AI, 3D design, and sports data analytics, showing how these fields can be seamlessly integrated into sports education. Participants learned the basics of computer-aided design (CAD), explored the role of sensors and embedded systems, and discovered how sports data can be captured and analyzed with AI-powered tools.
3D Design Session
Participants were introduced to Onshape, a professional 3D modeling software. They practiced sketching, designing, and assembling digital models, gaining exposure to how CAD is used in engineering and product design.
Sports Analytics Session
Students learned to program an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) with Arduino, connecting sensor data with sports performance analysis. This gave them valuable hands-on experience in linking technology to real-time athletic tracking.
Bridging Sports and Technology
By combining digital design with sports data analytics, the workshop showed the growing relevance of technology in modern sports. Students not only explored virtual modeling but also learned how to translate raw sensor data into meaningful performance insights.
This integration of AI and embedded systems with athletics equips students with skills that can be applied in engineering, sports science, and data analytics, making the workshop both practical and inspiring.
✨ The 3D Design & Sports Analytics Workshop was more than just a learning activity—it was an inspiring journey that showed how technology can transform sports education and spark interest in future STEM careers.
