Incredible program for high school students in Vancouver - Deadline: April 5
We just learned about an incredible extracurricular program for high school students and wanted to share it with parents in Vancouver.
The Knowledge Society (TKS) is a 10-month innovation program for students ages 13-17 who want to solve the world’s biggest problems. The program is modeled after curriculums from Harvard, Stanford, and MIT, and designed to replicate the learning environments of Google and Facebook. They’ve also been recognized by organizations like the World Economic Forum.
What students do in TKS:
1. Learn about how emerging technologies are disrupting the world, including Artificial Intelligence, Genetic Engineering, Space Tech, and Quantum Computing.
2. Access mentors from companies including Google, Tesla, Apple, Microsoft, BenchSci, and more.
3. Work with global organizations to solve real challenges using advanced problem-solving frameworks. This year, TKS students are working with the United Nations.
4. Be part of a global community of like-minded young people where they can meet their best friends and future co-founders among students and alumni from 20 countries.
5. Get training from Olympic-level innovation coaches to help them discover their interests and build meaningful projects.
6. Accelerate their personal growth by training the mindsets, mental models, and habits of world leaders and CEOs.
7. Develop their personal portfolio to earn access to exclusive opportunities including internships, conferences and guest speakers.
TKS students in Vancouver are working on mind blowing projects, for example Jessica Song is redefining Palm Oil by genetically modifying e.coli bacteria. Check out her portfolio, or schedule time with Jessica or another TKS student from Vancouver to hear about their experience in the program.
Before joining TKS, students go through an application and interview process to be selected. They also offer generous tuition support to families.
The deadline to apply is Monday, April 5th.
If you have questions about the program you can sign up for their next information session or email [email protected]
