Built by students,for students.
An independent student-led initiative connecting university technology communities across the UAE.
Currently recruiting university ambassadors ahead of our first active semester.
IT71 is in its founding phase.
There is no event calendar yet, no member count and no partners to show. That is deliberate. Before IT71 runs anything, it needs people on the ground at universities who understand what students there actually need.
So the first step is simple: build a small network of university ambassadors ahead of the first active semester.
- Recruiting ambassadors
- First active semester
- Events, workshops, competitions
Student technology talent is everywhere. The connections are not.
Opportunities go unseen
Workshops, talks and competitions happen — sometimes on your own campus — and many students never hear about them.
Calendars collide
Midterms and finals land at different times at different universities, so the right event is easy to miss.
Clubs work in parallel
Strong clubs build great things, but often separately. Students interested in the same work rarely find each other across campuses.
A student-led layer connecting the people already building.
IT71 is being built as a coordination and discovery layer for the UAE’s student technology community. It does not replace university clubs — it is meant to help them reach more students and connect with each other.
- University clubs
- Student builders
- Workshops
- Competitions
- Hackathons
- Future collaborators
Start at the universities. Grow outward.
Students & clubs
Ambassadors bring IT71 into their university communities.
IT71
A shared layer for discovery, coordination and connection.
Opportunities
Events, workshops and competitions that reach beyond one campus.
The first IT71 network will be built by university ambassadors.
Ambassadors help IT71 take root at their university: sharing it with students, helping us understand what their community needs, and shaping what IT71 becomes.
What IT71 could become.
These screens are concepts that show where IT71 is heading. Nothing here is live, and every name and event shown is fictional.
Who should get involved now — and later.
University students in the UAE
If you are enrolled at a UAE university or higher-education institution and can connect IT71 with students on your campus, apply to be an ambassador.
Club members and organizers
Club experience is welcome but not required. Organizers who already know their campus community are a natural fit.
Future collaborators
Companies, institutions and technical organizers will come into the picture once there is a student network to work with. We are not recruiting partners yet.
Help establish IT71 at your university.
We are looking for students who can reach their campus community and help build the first layer of IT71.
Applications are reviewed personally and usually answered within 1–5 working days.
