A new, game-changing, IoT Bicycle-Games-Controller.

** *我自己：**我是一名神经多样性的女性联合创始人，是一家位于多塞特的新型创新医疗科技公司的创始人。最近，我在伦敦的一家人力资源科技初创公司领导了3个部门（产品/营销/参与），该公司由两位知名的连续科技企业家共同创立，并获得了一级投资者的资助。在此之前，我在20岁出头的时候在伦敦创办了一家软件和营销机构，并与我的商业伙伴成功经营了7年。我从父亲在津巴布韦的大型商业农场学到了商业。我喜欢公开演讲，并欢迎有机会成为其他神经多样性、女性创始人和像我一样的企业家的榜样。** *我的业务：**TurboGaming是一家健康科技公司，旨在解决关于儿童/青少年缺乏体育活动的惊人统计数据及其下游影响。在英国，超过一半的6-16岁儿童（55.4%）运动不足（SportsEngland, 2021）。而三分之一的人在小学毕业时就已经超重/肥胖了（卫生与社会保障部）。在美国，只有23%的高中生足够活跃，而46%的高中生每天花3个多小时玩久坐不动的电子游戏。(疾病控制中心？evention, 2019)。_**愿景：**_将PlayStation和Xbox上的100多个流行主流赛车游戏转化为踏板驱动的健身游戏，通过我们全新的、改变游戏规则的物联网“自行车游戏控制器”来玩。在没有开发任何新游戏的情况下，在不到5年的时间里，市场上的健身游戏数量增加了一倍多。兼容的游戏包括迪斯尼汽车，索尼克，风火轮，沉船，极限竞速地平线，火箭联盟，F1和更多。创始团队拥有33年的综合经验，选择的分包商专门从事以人为本的设计，与自行车相关的设计专家。我的想法是：把它想象成儿童/青少年的“自行车游戏厅”。踏板功率相当于游戏中的速度，使用两种专有算法之一；社会/ Inclusiveb。公平/竞争（支持电子竞技）手柄旋转以控制方向，而手柄上的触发器和操纵杆允许玩家刹车，射击或跳跃。测试概念验证原型获得了儿童/青少年的一致热情，而父母则为他们欢呼，就像今天是体育日一样！我们有越来越多的beta测试者在等待我们的产品。一个新的“strava - meet_twitch”应用程序将连接用户，游戏化参与（排行榜/徽章/奖杯），并举办体育电子竞技。这款应用将提供适合年龄的“数字体育俱乐部”体验。_**奖励计划：** *除了获得指导外，我还计划通过训练营和专家建议来加强我的知识和商业网络。我计划先完成测试装置的研发，并在测试后完成MVP的研发，然后再推出商业化的MVP。

* **Myself:**I am the neurodiverse, female cofounder of a new and innovative HealthTech business based in Dorset. Most recently, I led 3 departments (product/marketing/engagement) at an HRTech-startup in London that was co-founded by two high-profile, serial tech-entrepreneurs and funded by tier-1 investors. Before that, I founded a software and marketing agency in London in my early twenties and ran it successfully for 7 years with my business partner. I learned about business from my father's large commercial farm in Zimbabwe. I love public-speaking and welcome the opportunity to be a role-model to other neurodiverse, female founders, and entrepreneurial-expats like myself.* **My business:**TurboGaming is a healthTech business that aims to tackle the alarming statistics regarding insufficient physical activity during childhood/adolescence, and the downstream effects thereof.In the UK, more than half of 6-16yr olds (55.4%) are insufficiently active (SportsEngland, 2021). Whilst 1-in-3 leave primary school already overweight/obese (Department of Health&Social Care).In the USA, only 23% of high school students are sufficiently active while 46% spend a whopping 3+ hours per day playing sedentary video games. (Centers for Disease Control?evention, 2019)._**The Vision:**_ Convert 100+ popular, mainstream racing-games on PlayStation and Xbox, into pedal-powered fitness-games, played from our new, game-changing, IoT 'bicycle-games-controller'. More than doubling the number of fitness-games available on the market in less than 5 years, without developing any new games.Compatible games include Disney Cars, Sonic, Hot Wheels, Wreckfest, Forza Horizon, Rocket League, F1 and many more.The founding team has 33 years of combined experience and the chosen subcontractor specialises in human-centred design with experts in bicycle related design.* **My idea:**Think of it as a **'bicycle-arcade'** for children/tweens/teens.Pedal-power equates to in-game speed utilising one of two proprietary algorithms;a. Social/Inclusiveb. Fair/Competitive (Enabling eSports)Handlebars rotate to steer whilst triggers and joysticks on the grips allow players to brake, shoot or jump.Testing a proof-of-concept prototype yielded unanimous enthusiasm from children/tweens/teens whilst parents cheered for them, like it was sports day! We have a growing waiting-list of beta-testers waiting for units.A new 'Strava-meets-Twitch' application will connect users, gamify participation (leaderboards/badges/trophies), and host athletic-eSports. The app will provide an age-appropriate, 'digital sports club' experience._**Award-plan:**_As well as mentoring, I plan to strengthen my knowledge and business network through the bootcamps and expert advice. I plan to complete the R&D for beta units, and the MVP following beta-testing, ahead of a commercialised post-project MVP-launch.
