It’s free. No cost to you!
No. The fellowship is aimed at serving people from diverse backgrounds with little to no post-secondary education and limited, foundational technical experience.
Foundations is a five-week-long prerequisite course for enrollment in the Innovation Fellowship. The Foundations Course aims to gauge your persistence and ability to engage in independent, self-paced learning of technical content. The course consists of self-guided modules in addition to live sessions that will build your baseline knowledge of the tech industry and specific skills required for the fellowship. Your acceptance into the course is dependent on completion and passing the Foundations course.
Classes are held Monday through Thursday from 5:30 pm - 9:30 pm, local time. The majority of courses will be offered virtually. Each month, fellows can expect 2-4 in-person activities, most often at the TKH office and/or a central location in your local city. Classes typically include a mixture of demonstration, discussion, group exercises, and independent work time, as well as a short break. Additionally, fellows should expect to spend between 12-15 hours per week outside of class studying and working on assignments.
