PQK Lab is the public brand on pqk.org. “Lab” names an inquiry practice. It does not, by itself, prove a physical laboratory, field site, or ministry licence.
Apply
Apply with a setting, not with a desired prize.
PQK does not publish fake deadlines, tuition, or award rates. This page tells you how to prepare an inquiry so a later operating channel can read the work quickly.
What the first lab note should hold
- setting
- friction
- tools
- time
- what you want critiqued
pqk.org does not publish a fee table, a prize calendar, or a ranking. Those facts belong only to a later operating record.
What an inquiry-lab reply looks like
A PQK reviewer should be able to name the stuck track from your note: problem, question, evidence, model, build, or showcase. The reply may be a smaller setting, a refusal of a ghost-built machine, or a request for a log page.
For partners
Five facts before a conversation.
Standing inquiry training is operating: problem finding, question design, evidence logs, models, builds, and showcases. Field trips, dates, and fees are confirmed after email.
Record friction in a real setting. Separate observation from guess. Narrow a question a short log could actually test. Revise the model after a miss.
Evidence is a dated observation log, a narrowed question, a revisable model, and a showcase that still shows the miss. This site lists no field partners, awards, or enrollment numbers.
Public inquiries: info@pqk.org. English welcome. Administration: admin@pqk.org.
A fit conversation, not a trophy intake
This page is for a student, family, or school asking whether the practice fits. Start with a trail from field friction to a question a peer could inspect. Narrow field friction into an inquiry question. Dates, fees, and any later agreement are confirmed in writing from info@pqk.org.
What to bring
Bring a constraint or question, four-column friction log, researchable question, dated evidence, revised model, and the time you can protect. Mentors ask for the trail. They do not seize the build.
What this page will not ask for
Do not send awards, other people’s files, or a request for a guaranteed result.
After you write
Write info@pqk.org. Fit details stay on apply.
