Train your mind like you train a muscle
Every TKS session begins with a mindset.
Through hands-on exercises, group reflections, and real-world examples, students learn how to shift their thinking and take control of how they approach challenges. These mindsets become part of who they are - both inside and outside the classroom.

Work on what actually matters
At TKS, students don’t study from textbooks they solve real-world problems from organizations like the United Nations, Google, Microsoft, and Airbnb.
Using critical thinking frameworks like First Principles and MECE, students build strategic solutions and pitch them to industry leaders.
At Microsoft, innovation means taking complex systems and making them simple, useful, and global. In TKS, you’ll practice the same mindset — breaking problems into parts and designing solutions that can scale to millions.
