Future Gen is our productised passion-project programme. Working products, GitHub repos, climate impact, revenue, user counts. The kind of artefacts admissions officers actually read.
Converting waste sea shells into a viable cement substitute for low-cost housing. A materials science research project that combined chemistry, sustainability, and structural engineering — built from scratch over two academic quarters.
Outcome
HKUST · Full Ride.
A clothing brand operationally run by AI agents — from product ideation to marketing to fulfilment. Built at the frontier of what was possible in 2024, this project demonstrated autonomous multi-agent coordination in a real commercial context.
Outcome
Frontier-of-2026 narrative.
EV retrofitting platform for vintage cars, preserving character while electrifying the drivetrain. A full engineering project — from motor selection to battery management to chassis integration — documented as a technical portfolio.
Outcome
Caltech.
Methodology
Q1
Step 01
We map the student's genuine interests, skills, and intellectual obsessions. No forced topics. The project must be something they'd build anyway.
Q2
Step 02
Structured weekly sessions. Prototypes, experiments, code commits, research drafts. We hold the student accountable to a build cadence.
Q3
Step 03
The artefact goes live — a GitHub repo, a published paper, a working product, a climate impact report. Something real, not a slide deck.
Q4
Step 04
We help the student articulate what they built, why it matters, and what it says about who they are. This becomes the spine of their application.
Apply
Limited cohort. Acceptance by application.
Applications reviewed on a rolling basis. We accept a small cohort each quarter.
