The Knowledge Society Tks

The Knowledge Society (TKS) is a global innovation program for ambitious teens (ages 13–17) focused on tackling real-world challenges. At TKS, we’re transforming the way young people engage with the world’s toughest problems. Our 10-month program empowers students to go beyond curiosity and become capable innovators and leaders. Through exposure to 40+ emerging technologies and mentorship from top industry experts, students work on impactful projects with leading companies like Microsoft, Interac, and the United Nations. It's not about memorization—it's about experimenting, building, and creating solutions that matter. Designed by leaders from McKinsey, Google, and Stanford, TKS replicates the fast-paced, collaborative culture of top startups like SpaceX and DeepMind. Students often leave with published research, startup momentum, internships, or the confidence to launch their own ideas. Since 2016, we’ve partnered with over students in 60+ countries, building a global community focused on leadership, growth, and innovation. With both in-person and global virtual programs, TKS brings this transformative experience directly to students wherever they are. And we’re just getting started.
