About TKS

The Knowledge Society (TKS) is a global accelerator focused on developing young people (ages 13-17) to learn about solving problems using emerging technologies, develop foundational mindsets, and build real-world skills, while being part of a global community of like-minded people. Our vision is to help create the next generation of unicorn people - people who impact billions. TKS was recognized by The World Economic Forum as a "School of the Future" and works with organizations like the United Nations, Google, and Microsoft.

We currently have 2,000+ students and alumni from over 200 cities globally. Our alumni have started venture-backed companies, performed cutting-edge research, presented at the world's largest conferences, and are creating solutions to tackle important problems like maternal mortality, disease, and energy.
