TEN PIN Club will provide the necessary context for testing the educational material and the software and devices that will be provided by Aristotle University. In addition we will interact with MBA in order to transfer knowledge and experiences in the use of the above and will support them in disseminating the results. TEN PIN Club has a continuous sports activity since its establishment in 2005 and ogranizes a year-long internal chambionship with the participation of 20-25 athletes. Certain players are already experienced with the use of wearables while bowling. TEN PIN Club activities take place in a bowling stadium with the officially registered owners’ permission, guaranteeing the availability of the place throughout the project timeline.
