a start on the passion projects of cohort 4.2

Shoe Tracker

Are your shoes just made for walking, is that just what they'll do?

Less than 300 words which describe your project:

My project will be the backend technologies that tracks the distance ran or walked byt users or owners. There will be a microchip embedded in the shoe - under the category of "running/athletic" shoes that tracks the owner of the shoe distance ran or walked.

The microchip embeded in the shoe will be similar to the light up shoes kids would wear that will light when they walked - however, this shoe is geared toward runners/ athletes or health conscious customers. The microchip can be evolved to be placed in the sole of every shoe and be able to connect to "fitbits, apple watches, and other wearable technologies" Users are able to monitor their pace, progress,and fitness goals through their wearable technology owned or via the internet. This project will impact shoe companies who marke their products as running/ or athletic shoe to assure their shoe is able to compete our outperform their competitor's running shoe.
