The Seahawks hosted Tech Touchdown presented by Amazon Web Services, an event meant to empower middle school girls through hands-on tech and football activities and mentorship. The event also featured a panel discussion on women breaking barriers in male-dominated industries.<\/p>\n
Shelby Williams head of integrated sports marketing at AWS, Sandra Smith a security industry specialist at AWS, Karen Wilkins-Mickey vice president of DEI for the Seahawks and Becca Erenbaum senior football research analyst for the Seahawks were all part of the panel.<\/p>\n
Along with the panel, attendees rotated through different stations, a “My Cause My Cleats” AI cleat designer where the students used AWS technology to design custom cleats, a quarterback passing demo where they tested their quarterback abilities and used technology to measure their throwing data, and finally a Seahawks hologram station where they could stand next to a hologram of Seahawks Legend Ben Obomanu.<\/p>\n
The participants also took part in a football clinic before the day ended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Seahawks hosted Tech Touchdown presented by Amazon Web Services, an event meant to empower middle school girls…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":124549,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2081],"tags":[7,6383,30159,30158,6,238,237,261,2635],"class_list":{"0":"post-124548","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-seattle-seahawks","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-news-community","10":"tag-news-future-of-football","11":"tag-news-youth-empowerment","12":"tag-nfl","13":"tag-seahawks","14":"tag-seattle","15":"tag-seattle-seahawks","16":"tag-seattleseahawks"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114671600976294685","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124548","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124548"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124548\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/124549"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124548"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=124548"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=124548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
