A coordination layer, built from the campuses up.
This page describes how IT71 is intended to work. Today, only the first step — recruiting university ambassadors — is active.
The planned operating model
University ambassadors
Students who help IT71 take root at their university. They share IT71 naturally within their community and help us understand what students there need.
- Introduce IT71 to students and clubs
- Share feedback about what their university community needs
- Help shape what IT71 becomes
Students and clubs
Once the first university network is in place, broader student participation becomes possible.
- Discover workshops, competitions and talks across campuses
- Find teammates for specific events
- Show the skills and projects they are building
IT71 coordination layer
A shared place for discovery and coordination — a connection layer, not a replacement for existing university communities.
- One place to find student technology activity
- Clubs keep their own identity and leadership
- Independent of any single institution
Future collaborators
Companies, institutions and technical organizers may work with IT71 once there is a real student network. IT71 is not seeking partners at this stage.
- Workshops and competitions designed with student input
- Reaching relevant students through their clubs
Not a replacement. A connection.
IT71 is meant to sit between existing communities and help them reach each other. University clubs remain the heart of student technology life.
The first step is active now.
Ambassadors are the only part of the model that is live today.
