Your Background

Optional: attach your resume to a follow-up email to info@onktek.com if you have one. Otherwise, fill in what's relevant below. A simple list is perfectly fine.

Relevant coursework or field of study

e.g. Computer Science, Biology, Engineering, Environmental Science, Data Analytics

Activities, clubs, projects, or work experience

Any field — tech, sports, arts, community — anything that shows you follow through

Any experience with computers, software, or data?

Optional — no prior experience required

Tell Us About Yourself

You don't need to answer every prompt — use them as inspiration and write naturally:

What draws you to AI, technology, or environmental science?
Tell us about a time you had to be really careful and detail-oriented.
If you noticed an AI making the same mistake repeatedly, what would you do?
What do you hope to learn or gain from this experience?

A few sentences on each is plenty. There are no wrong answers.

Availability & Equipment

Equipment required: Bring your own laptop or computer with WiFi and USB-A access. Chromebooks are fine. A stable internet connection is also required for weekday homework.

All 3 Saturday sessions are required. Applicants who cannot attend all 3 Saturdays will be placed on a waitlist. Sessions will be held in San Jose, California — the specific venue address will be shared with accepted applicants in the decision email.

Any known conflicts or limitations during May 2 – 16?

Leave blank if none
