What is X-Academy?

The vision of X Academy – to help the young people achieve what they need most: to invent, create, and change the lives of millions. TechX annually hosting over 400 high school/college students who aspire to become engineers, entrepreneurs, and designers. Many of our participants successfully entered top-tier STEM undergraduate programs or Silicon Valley Giants. During the twelve days of TechX, our students will dive deep into one of five cutting-edge technology fields - Machine Learning, Robotics, Block Chain, Game Design and Industrial Design. Towards the end of the Summit, students will spend 48 hours on a culminating hackathon: a hands-on experience known as the X Capstone Project.
