- Create mixer/workshop activities pertaining to entrepreneurship and innovation with professors
- Survey students from professors’ classes when and where is best to hold the mixer
- Connect with various school clubs to share the idea and ask them to share with club members

Idea
Promote concepts relating to “I&E” and “Design Thinking” on remote platforms, such as the “SMC GO” app, in order to expand awareness and interest to departments outside of business, design, and technology.
Key Tactics
- Survey students and professors in different departments to determine how “design thinking” and “I&E” could be relevant
- (Depending on final solution), construct curriculum and/or activities for interdisciplinary collaboration
- Schedule with Campus Events department
- Contact those in charge of the “SMC GO” app (with user feedback data)

Idea
SMC student center for co-design that will serve as a subsidiary of the SMC center for media and design. The community space will encourage students to engage in student-led workshops, consultations from IxD student leaders on solving greater problems faced by SMC students, and co-designing with the community. Our mission will focus on a human-centered approach for designing for the interdisciplinary and diverse student community at SMC to co-design with current IxD cohorts.
Key Tactics
- Hire a director and staff for the center
- Hire student coordinators
- Designate a space inside CMD
- Create a mission statement
- Plan the academic semesters and workshop programming calendar
- Plan a grand opening day
- Design marketing resources about the center and its services
- Encourage creative/design thinking for SMC students
