This week at 1 Million Cups at the Kauffman Foundation, a standing-room-only audience learned about ShotTracker, a startup offering wearable technology to measure the accuracy of basketball shots, and World Housing Solution, whose global mission is to provide ultra-lightweight yet sturdy structures for members of the U.S. military and disaster relief victims.

Davyeon Ross, co-founder of ShotTracker and a former college basketball player, explained how his company’s wearable wrist/sleeve sensor combined with a basketball net sensor and an app for mobile devices allows ages 7 and up to automatically track their shot attempts, makes and misses. Ross said that not only individual players can benefit from his product, but also coaches, schools and community centers.

World Housing Solution, employing SICPs (structural insulated composite panels), was pitched as a green, fast and safe alternative to tents and other temporary housing utilized by the military and victims of disasters around the world.  A 1,000-square-foot structure that is both fireproof and bulletproof can be assembled in one day by 10 people without using power tools.
