What are the Affinity Trials?

Our Trials will create the future of friendship by studying teenagers who are struggling socially. Sixty-five high schools are participating across the country.

Can any teenager enter the Trials?

No. Participants are accepted into the Trials based on their A-Test score. Most who sign up will not qualify.

How do the Affinity Trials work?

Twenty students will be selected at each participating school and randomly divided into four color groups—red, green, blue, and orange—each with five students.

Please note: Trial participants must surrender all electronic devices, including phones, for the weeklong immersive experiment, and will be recorded on surveillance cameras throughout the duration of the study.

Upon completion, participants will be awarded with a cash stipend.
