Student Showcase 2026
BLOC15 Event Venue, Oakland, CA
Saturday, Apr 18 from 10 am to 2 pm
Join us for the 2026 Student Showcase, a high-energy celebration of the brilliance, creativity, and leadership of our Kings. This year’s theme, "Collective Genius: The Commencement of Leaders," represents both a public demonstration of our students' current work and their powerful transition into future leadership roles.
Why Attend?
The Student Showcase is more than a presentation; it is a demonstration of transformation. It highlights that brilliance is not an individual act, but a community effort built through KOO’s systems of love and support. Whether you are an educator, a family member, or a community partner, you will leave inspired by the "Collective Genius" of our youth.
What to Expect
The Collective Genius Gallery: Experience a public exhibition showcasing the cumulative work of Kings engaged in our Crowns Curriculum, KOOLabs Academies, and The Fellowship Initiative (TFI).
