Why it matters

Strong talent needs real work, not just classes.

STEM students learn the theory in school. What they rarely get is a fast, real summer of building systems that people use, with someone holding them to a high standard every week.

That's what the NBLK Summer Fellowship gives them. And this year the program is expanding, with our first UK cohort working in parallel with the US team.
