NON-TRIVIAL

Prize-Winning Projects

The Non-Trivial Fellowship helps teenagers start research or entrepreneurial projects to tackle the world’s most pressing problems.

At the end of each fellowship, participants have 5 minutes to present their projects at Demo Day. We judge submissions according to our terms and conditions to assess which projects have made the most progress, show the most potential for impact, and are the best presented.

““The fellowship was a transformative experience that helped me gain valuable skills, knowledge, and connections with like-minded individuals.””
