TKS Experience for your Students

TKS trains curious and driven youth (ages 13-17) to solve important problems in the world using emerging technologies. They’ve been around for 6 years and have had pretty incredible results. The youngest employees at NASA, SpaceX, Google, Microsoft and IBM are all TKS students. In the last 18 months, alumni have raised over $80M to start companies and earned full-ride scholarships to Stanford and Harvard.

This fall, they're launching an in-person program in Seattle! No experience is required. They generally find that TKS attracts students interested in technology, entrepreneurship and social impact, although anyone who’s curious about making the world a better place is a good fit.
