We look for fellows who are:

• Working across disciplines at the intersection of technology and the liberal arts 

• Inspired by what’s possible, not just what’s broken 

• Unusually talented, but undiscovered and ready to break through 

• Especially curious pattern-seekers and dot-connectors—the ones who see things differently 

• Generous spirits, moved to make something uncommonly useful or beautiful for the rest of us

• Self-starters who persist through the challenges of creative work

• From a diversity of backgrounds, with a range of perspectives, strengths, and approaches

Eligible candidates must:

• Be between the ages of 21 and 26

• Receive a nomination (self-nominations will not be accepted)

  • Monthly virtual programming (approximately 2–3 hours per month) 

  • Two in-person gatherings (approximately 2–3 days each)
