KulKul Fellowship

Program Onboarding

Welcome to the KulKul Fellowship! This is a unique, community-driven, and facilitated learning experience designed to help you build real-world software engineering capabilities.

💡 About Our Program

Section titled “💡 About Our Program”

The KulKul Fellowship is a peer-to-peer facilitated learning journey. It is an intensive program where you’ll learn how modern software development works.

  • Mentorship: You will learn alongside other fellows, reviewing each other’s code and discussing designs. You will be facilitated by our experienced team members (a mentorship path that is highly valuable).
  • Time Commitment: This is a dedicated learning program. We expect our fellows to commit at least 3 months with at least 20 hours per week of active contribution and learning.
  • AI-Native Focus: We embrace AI coding assistants. You will learn to use IDEs and agents as copilots, focusing your effort on software architecture, automated testing, and code quality.

💼 Fellowship Tracks

To join the cohort and match for projects, you must complete the 10-Step Onboarding Challenge.

This challenge serves as a showcase of your capabilities and git etiquette. It acts as our practical screening process:

  1. GitHub Setup: Register and get active in our repositories.
  2. Coding Agents Setup: Learn to set up coding agents like OpenCode, Claude Code, and Antigravity (focusing on Antigravity due to its generous free tier) and configure them securely.
  3. Sandbox Application: Build and deploy a simple feature to our Intern Management System sandbox.
  4. Wiki PR: Submit your profile page to our Fellows Directory.
