Teens worldwide ♥️ TKS
TKS changes student's lives. But don't take our word for it. Here are some real reviews from TKS Innovators and alumni.
TKS has definitely been life-changing. I grew my ability to figure things out. I have a better idea of what I want to do in the world and super grateful for that. TKS toppled my assumptions about the world. It showed me that you don't need a pHd to have an impact.

TKS has been the game-changer that I was looking for in my life for so long. From learning about an emerging technology to building meaningful relationships that will last a lifetime, TKS is the real world brought to teenagers.
TKS has undoubtedly been a life-changing program. Just within a span of 5 months, I’ve grown more than I have in a total of 16 years. I’ve networked with a lot of cool people, come across a whole bunch of exciting opportunities and incorporated a growth mindset.
TKS really accelerated my growth as a person, it took the skills I had developed before joining + new skills I learned in the program and made me realize I can do a lot more than what I thought I could with them.
TKS was a game-changer for me and helped me discover my interests, build real projects, and learn about impactful technologies I didn’t even know existed! It also exposed me to lifelong friends and mentors who I am so grateful to have.

TKS literally changed my life trajectory.. TKS gave me the confidence to fail and to go down an unconventional path, while equipping me with tools I needed to succeed. Without a doubt, had I not done TKS, there is no way I would become the person I am.

TKS gave me confidence. My 2 years in the program were the perfect blend of support, mentorship and pushing my growth. One of the experiences I LOVED was the Harvard business case study Everything I accomplish during my lifetime will be because of TKS.
TKS made me realize that the things I used to think were so out of reach were achievable if I reframed my mindset and changed my action plan. I learned how to break down problems with first-principles thinking, leverage scientific principles to create products + more.
Joining TKS, in all honesty, led me to understand that there's life outside of school and continuity. I went from a daily pattern of school-home-school-home until TKS finally showed me that I could be doing more and living for more.
TKS catalyzed my growth. Year 1 exposed me to new sources of content, technologies/sciences, and mindsets that shifted how I think about the world - the people & my place in it. This program has given me the business, technical knowledge I was seeking.
