Free technology program for Amazon students extends registration until July 20

In 2026, more than 1,100 new students joined the Ismart network. For the 2027 selection process, the institution intends to further expand its reach, with special attention to the Amazon Region. "Talent has no address. It is present in schools in all regions of Brazil. We want more young people to know about this opportunity and have access to the necessary tools to develop their talents and build new paths for the future", says Mariana Rego Monteiro, executive director of Ismart. The initiative is already showing significant results in the North Region. Currently, the number of applicants in the region exceeds by more than twenty times the number registered in the same period of the previous selection process, demonstrating the growth of student interest in the opportunities offered by the program. To participate, the student must be enrolled in the 7th, 8th or 9th year of elementary school and belong to a family with an income of up to two minimum wages per person. For Agnis Vitória Marques da Silva, a student from Rondônia, the experience in the program brought important changes to her academic and personal life. "Ismart was one of the best experiences I've ever had. In addition to helping a lot with my studies, I discovered new opportunities, made friends and even became an ambassador for my class. My grades improved a lot and today I see that all the effort to enter the program was worth it", she reports. Student Sofia Lorena Zimmerman, also from Rondônia, highlights that participating in the program broadened her horizons and provided experiences she could not have imagined having. "At first, I had no idea how much this opportunity could transform my life. In addition to my studies, I participated in projects, developed an application as a team, started an English course and met incredible people. I am very grateful for everything I have learned at Ismart", she says. The impact of the institute is also felt among former students. Engineer and entrepreneur Rafaela Herrera Silva, recognized by Forbes among the most influential Under 30 in Brazil, attributes part of her trajectory to her experience in the program. "Ismart taught me about responsibility from an early age and showed that it was possible to dream bigger. I joined the program when I was 12, managed to graduate from a public university and today I work training young people for the future. It was there that I realized I could go further", he highlights. Registration for the 2027 Online Program remains open until July 20th and can be completed free of charge via the Ismart website.
