TKS Showcase | Real Innovation, Built by Teens
The next generation isn't waiting — they're already building.
With emerging technologies like AI, quantum computing, and biotech advancing faster than ever, it's never been more important for young people to be at the frontier — not just watching it, but shaping it.
After 10 months of intensive training, our students are ready to show you what they've been working on. This afternoon showcase brings together student researchers, builders, and thinkers tackling some of today's most pressing challenges — through pitches, panels, and an inspiring keynote.
What students are working on:
Climate modeling and environmental prediction
Predicting panic attacks using Apple Watch biometrics
Ocean pollution detection and intervention
Quantum biology for early disease detection
Physical AI and embodied intelligence
Solving cancer before it starts
Women's health research and advocacy
What to expect: Student spotlight presentations across three rounds, a live keynote or fireside panel, a student Q&A panel, and plenty of time to connect with a community of founders, mentors, and people who care about building a better future.
Who Should Attend:
Students and families interested in innovation and emerging technologies
Educators and community members curious about the future of learning
Industry professionals and partners interested in early talent
Anyone interested in where technology meets the next generation
