IEU Sandbox

The IEU Sandbox is a program for all IEU undergraduate students who are eager to meet others and learn how to achieve their goals, or even figure out what their goals could be! The IEU Sandbox offers students the opportunity to explore and experiment, providing a space to discover new skills and mindsets and make new friends in the process. A sandbox, in general, is a space for play where you can create things in a supportive environment. IE University has several expert technical units, including our Robotics Lab and Fab Lab, and specialized faculties and schools in areas such as Politics, Law, Communications, Business, Design & Architecture, and more.

These areas support IE’s mission to drive innovation. Learning at IE does not begin and end in the classroom. The IEU Sandbox is a beyond-the-classroom initiative designed to spark students’ awareness about innovation and its applicability to their future goals, and to provide opportunities to learn skills related to innovation to build profiles most sought after by potential future employers.

IEU Sandbox is committed to helping students be their best selves, both individually and collectively. We recognize that IEU students often have difficulty meeting peers from other bachelor programs or sections. We also understand that the most effective innovation comes from diverse perspectives. The IEU Sandbox offers students the opportunity to meet and connect with peers from across all undergraduate schools, while providing access to expertise and resources within all our schools and labs. The IEU Sandbox’s activities are categorized into Discovery Activities and Discovery Lab. The Discovery Activities are open to all students who register, while the Discovery Lab is a cohort-based program requiring an application (see below).
