  • A trio of Palm Harbor University High School students recently won the 2023-2024 Next Gen Tech 360 contest with an AI-driven app called New2Fit.
  • The app features personalized workout plans, AI-driven form correction, a gym locator, and a community chat.
  • The app was created by students Ajitesh Reddy Busireddy, Leonard Seto Jr., and Ryan Qu.
  • They won $10,000 to develop the app further and a 30-minute pitch session with Kevin Harrington, one of the original Sharks from the “Shark Tank” TV show.
