TKU Programs
Sunday Workshops
Our Sunday programs are for students ages 7-21 who would like to learn a new tech skill or build on tech skills they know. Each Sunday is a different topic and students work on completing a project. After they work, students eat a dinner of pizza or burgers together and socialize with fellow techies.
Parent Workshops
Our free parent workshops are welcome to all parents regardless if your student takes classes with us. Hear from speakers in various fields and receive resources to help you with getting the help you need for your child.
Teen Socials
During our teen socials which take place four Fridays during the year, teens ages 14-21 come together to hang out, play games, and to eat together in an awesome community of techies.
Creative Tech Internship (CTI)
The TKU Creative Tech Internship (CTI) is an internship for teens/young adults aged 17-21 interested in work or study in creative tech-based fields, and acts as a bridge between school experiences and workplace environments. CTI interns meet weekly September to June to work together on various deliverables for our client-based projects. Interns learn soft skills while working in an office environment and work on their social-emotional-learning and transition skills. TKU seeks committed candidates who will attend the program weekly as part of a school program or who have graduated high school. This is an unpaid internship, but interns are eligible to receive recommendations for future opportunities. Check out the featured projects below to see what our interns have worked on.
