Effort: 10 minutesThe 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina, Italy were packed with cool tech! AI helped create super-fast 360-degree replays of athletes' moves, drones zipped around for amazing first-person views of races, and tools like Olympic GPT gave real-time info on results and rules. While companies like Alibaba Cloud and Olympic Broadcasting Services led the way, imagine how Lenovo's AI expertise (from their legacy in Beijing 2008 and new gadgets like AI wearables) could amp up future Games—like the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Lenovo could bring even smarter training tools, fan experiences, or safety features to make sports more exciting and fair for everyone! Get ready for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles! You're a Lenovo "hype creator" designing an ad that promotes your own AI-powered tech idea for one Summer Olympic event. Create a cool social media-style ad (flyer/post/mock-up) that sells your invention, then explain why it's the next big thing. Your Submission Must Include: Your Hype Ad: Make a simple ad (draw it by hand and take a photo, use Canva/digital tools, or generate it with AI - be sure to include a shareable link) that promotes your Lenovo AI idea for a specific Summer event (e.g., skateboarding wearable for better tricks, swimming goggles with real-time stroke feedback, or basketball app for instant play analysis). Your ad must include: -A catchy title (e.g., "Lenovo AI Skate Revolution") -Cool captions or bullet points explaining the key features -An interesting main image or visual (e.g., athlete in action, futuristic AI overlay, or excited crowd) -Any emojis, colors, or slogans to make it pop Why It's the Next Big Idea: Write a short explanation (3–5 sentences) describing how your AI tech works (what it does and how it uses Lenovo smarts like AI sensors or real-time data), why it's useful for athletes/fans/judges, and why it would be a game-changer for the 2028 LA Olympics.
