IMENA Program — First Cohort

A young person walks into a room with questions. They leave with something they built and a new belief in what they can create.

From 25 August to 4 September 2026, the first IMENA Program cohort brought young people aged 13–20 into a hands-on journey through Digital Literacy, IoT, and Embedded Systems.

They explored. They experimented. They built. Most importantly, they discovered that technology is not only something to use, it is something they can create.

Cohort Outcome: Practical skills, project experience, and renewed confidence to keep learning and building.

This is why IMENA exists: one young innovator at a time.

We invite partners, funders, mentors, and contributors to help us create more moments like these.
