The Knowledge Society (TKS) is a 10-month innovation mentorship program for ages 13-18. Groups of 30-40 students meet either online or in-person (in Boston, New York City, Los Angeles, Ottawa, Toronto, or Vancouver) on weekends from September 2021 through June 2022. Under the guidance of TKS directors, students:

• Learn about technologies such as blockchain, genomics, and nanotech;
• Develop skills in problem solving and presenting;
• Interact with mentors in partner companies;
• Conduct in-depth projects; and
• Develop relationships with peers in the program.

There’s an Innovate level for first-time students and an Activate level for returning students. Potential applicants are invited to schedule an online conversation with a current TKS student. The cost is $4,980 for online or $6,560 for in-person, and need-based financial aid is available. Applications are due April 5 and are followed by video interviews for finalists.
