Questions

Learn the frontier tech that climbs the Kardashev scale. Three four-week, self-paced tracks: quantum computing, AI / SI and thermodynamic computing. It is the sibling of Observatory-K. K stands for Kardashev. Observatory-K tracks the climb. Academy K teaches the tech. More on the about page.

The site is open and you can join the waitlist. The first cohort starts in December. An exact calendar date is not set yet.

You work through the course whenever suits you, over 4 weeks. The 8 live sessions (a kickoff and seven more) are optional.

A human expert in the field runs the live sessions. We have not announced names yet.

Each course is limited to 25 people.

The first cohort starts in December and runs into the first week of January, with a break over the holidays and the end of the year.

$24.99 per course for the first cohort (founding price). $49.99 per course for later cohorts. Prices are in USD. Two tracks together are 10% off ($44.98 in the first cohort, $89.98 later) and all three are 15% off ($63.72 and $127.47). Nothing is paid on this site.

50% of proceeds go to Kardashev Research and related initiatives.

Join the waitlist. That is free. In November we email a payment link so you can confirm your seat. The steps are on the enrolment page.

No. Joining is free and carries no commitment. You decide when the payment link arrives.

Each track lists its own prerequisites. Quantum Computing does not require prior quantum mechanics. Thermodynamic Computing teaches statistical mechanics from the start. Read the track page before you reserve a place.

No certificate is promised.
