2026 Theme
This year’s theme is LA28. Students accepted into the program will be assigned to and work with a team throughout the class.
Summary:
The LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games represent more than a sporting event—they symbolize innovation, sustainability, and global impact. For Young Tech Professionals (YTP), LA28 is a chance to explore how technology can transform experiences, improve operations, and create lasting social value.
Students will design solutions inspired by LA28’s vision, with a focus on technology, user experience, and social impact. From smart infrastructure to digital engagement and inclusive design, these challenges align with YTP’s mission to prepare future tech leaders for real-world problem-solving.
