Students who build real things.
IE&T is a student network for innovation, entrepreneurship and technology. We support high school students as they develop real projects, find mentors and reach opportunities beyond their school.

IE&T IE&T Students · Open call
Join the first generation
The network is open to high school students who want to build real projects. No prior experience needed.
IE&T Partnerships · In development
Mentors and schools
We are looking for mentors and schools willing to open this network to more students in Santiago.
It exists because ambition needs somewhere to go. Most students who want to build never cross paths with the people, deadlines and opportunities that turn an idea into something real.

Program
Lines of work.
Each line feeds the next: projects form the teams, mentoring sustains the work and the hackathon opens the network.
Projects
Student teams take on a real problem, with protected time to build and not just to plan.
Mentoring
Founders, engineers and researchers review the work up close and push it forward.
Workshops
Hands-on sessions to learn by doing, focused on the tools a project needs.
Hackathon
The annual gathering where teams from several schools build something real over a weekend.
