Join IES
You do not need a chapter at your school to be part of IES. Join the Discord, register as a member, and you can compete from anywhere.
The IES Discord
Every student in the network is here. It is where prompts drop, where teams find their fourth member, and where a draft gets read by someone in another country before it gets judged.
Join the Discord ServerFree and open. Opens Discord in a new tab.
