01
Students teach it
Sessions are led by members who covered the material a year earlier. They remember what was confusing, which is a thing experts tend to forget.
Programs
Two Tracks.
One Idea.
Medicine and engineering, both taught by students. The format is the same in either track: you learn something, then you use it on something real, and someone a year ahead of you helps when you get stuck.
Track 01
Medicine
Most students interested in medicine never get closer to it than a textbook chapter. This track exists to close that gap early — how the body works, how a clinician reasons from a symptom to a cause, and what the work is actually like day to day.
Sessions are run by students who have already gone through the material, which keeps it honest. Nobody pretends to be a doctor. What we can do is make the field legible to someone who is fifteen and interested.

Track 02
Engineering
Engineering is taught here the way it is actually practiced: you decide what to make, you make it badly, you find out why, and you make it again. Mechanical, electrical, and software are not treated as separate subjects, because on a real build they never are.
The measure of the track is whether a student finishes something. Not a worksheet — a thing that either works or does not, in front of everyone.

How a Track Runs
Three things we hold to
02
Work over lecture
The goal of any given session is that you leave having done something, not having watched something. Applies equally to both tracks.
03
No gatekeeping
No prerequisites, no application essay, no prior experience assumed. If you are in the chapter, you are in the track.
Specific session schedules, topics, and any materials cost are set by each chapter rather than centrally.
Both Tracks, One Chapter
Pick One and Start
You do not have to choose before you join. Members try both and settle where they want.
