01 — About
What is Prism?
Explore different fields. Find yours.
PRISM is a six-week interdisciplinary program for teenagers aged 14–18. Explore different fields through practical tasks, expert sessions, discussions, and teamwork — then turn what you discover into your own project.
Our mission
To help young people explore different fields before choosing a direction — and discover what they want to pursue further.
The problem
Students are often expected to choose a field of study before they have had the opportunity to explore different areas and understand their own interests.
Who it is for
Students aged 14–18 who are curious about different fields, unsure which direction to choose, or want to connect several interests.
How it works
Each week focuses on a new field. Explore key ideas, meet experts, discuss real questions, work with others, and create.
Explore before you choose.
