<p>AlastairBate: </p> <hr /> <div>== Overview<br/> ==<br /> <br /> {{#widget:YouTube|id=PKCKcI0qSYk}}<br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:large">Strategy #1 Creation of an innovation space</span><br/> ==<br /> <br /> Recently, UTS has begun encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship around campus, made evident by starting two team in the University Innovation Fellows program. Created by the previous and new candidate UIF’s at UTS, this strategy aims to provide a place to facilitate innovation collaboration and teamwork for students. Currently this strategy is already off the ground and we have already pitched our ideas to the heads of the Engineering and IT faculty and they are more than enthusiastic with our idea.<br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:small">Milestone 1: Initial Stakeholder meeting - <span style="color: rgb(0, 255, 0)">Completed</span></span><br/> ==<br /> <br /> What got our project started was when the heads of the Engineering and IT Faculty emailed us expressing interest in re-purposing a previously unused space in the Engineering and IT building.<br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:small">Milestone 2: Idea Pitch - <span style="color: rgb(0, 255, 0)">Completed</span></span><br/> ==<br /> <br /> Two weeks from our initial stakeholder meeting, we re-scheduled a meeting with the faculty leaders to pitch our ideas. We generated three ideas for our innovation space which had varying levels of creativity and many different features. We gained valuable insigth from the faculty leaders, as they provided many thoughts and opinions on what they thought would work and what was too far out there to be practicle.<br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:small">Milestone 3: Investor Pitch - <span style="color: rgb(0, 255, 0)">Completed</span></span><br/> ==<br /> <br /> To provide funding for the room, the faculty leaders had a potential investor lined up who was interested to know what kind of opportunities this space could provide for students. We had a short meeting with the investor where we gave him a summarised version of our three pitches and explained why this un used space should be re purposed. Over all the investor had a positive opinion of our ideas and even had his ideas and suggestions to improve our ideas.<br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:small">Milestone 4:&nbsp; Project Follow Up – Planned Feb 2018</span><br/> ==<br /> <br /> In this milestone we aim to discuss potential strategies to take our ideas to the final stages and eventually turn the innovation space from an idea into a reality.<br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:small">Milestone 5: Working with architects or designers – Planned March 2018</span><br/> ==<br /> <br /> In this milestone we aim to create a design for the final product by working architects and designers.

It is very rare to see new and interesting spaces open from existing spaces inside UTS, so we aim to have an awesome opening ceremony.<br /> <br /> == Strategy #3 - Social Events to Break Down Faculty Separations ==<br /> <br /> When interviewing students from various degree backgrounds, it was often evident that rarely interacted with students who were apart of a different faculty to themselves. In many occasions, they barely interacted with people outside of their own course. We have often seen that students who know more people in a cross disciplined environment often get involved with a much grander range of activities and therefore enjoy their university experience more.<br /> <br /> === Tactic #1 - Run innovation workshops for cross faculty students to encourage innovation and meeting of friends ===<br /> <br /> A continual aim of the UIFs at UTS has been to foster innovation and promote student engagement at our uni. We are modifying it slightly so that it is no so much as a strategy and instead making it more of a goal we will achieve by doing other activities. In this case we are getting there by bringing together students from a range of backgrounds and using their different skills so that they work on the theme that we have for that particular workshop.<br /> <br /> === Tactic #2 - Run social events that are not discipline specific ===<br /> <br /> We have found during our empathy work that students are most likely not to go to an event because they do not know any other people who will be going. A good way to overcome this first hurdle is with social activites as these are often vary popular and can be used to familiarise people with the cohort they could be working with for a rnage of other events.<br /> <br /> This then means that we will be able to have a much larger audience to promote our events to, along with the change that people will be interacting with students not apart of their usual friend group.<br /> <br /> === Tactic #3 - Host uni wide hackathons to get people involved ===<br /> <br /> This tactic follows on from tactic #2 as students who have become familar with us as a staple of uni life. This tactic will begin to integrate the uni courses with the social side of the university. The innovation methods that we have discussed with the group can be integrated with real life problems cementing the knowledge they learn at uni as an actual useful thing to have. It will also expose students to the grander scheme of what their knowledge can be used for.<br /> <br /> === Milestone #1 - Host a networking event at which there is no more than 35% of students from a particular faculty ===<br /> <br /> Due to the make up of the university a reasonable goal of faculty mix would be around 35%, this would allow for the slightly larger faculties in the universities, while still making sure that we have an almost equal mix of backgrounds across the university.<br /> <br /> === Milsestone #2 - Expland the UIF program at UTS outside of the Engineering Faculty ===<br /> <br /> Currently all UIF program at UTS is hosted from the engineering faculty. This has been fantastic at the start, but it would be a true step forward to expand this to other faculties around the university as to gain different perspectivies and new ideas.<br /> <br /> === Milestone #3 - Make orientation a uni wide event with activites for all students. ===<br /> <br /> One of the most influential times at university is in the first week of the first year of a student's university life. Here many friends are made and perspectives are grown. At the moment most, if not all introduction sessions are run on a faculty level with many being dealt with in cohort and major groups. By growing this so that the activities include a range of different backgrouds the university would be in a much better position to host cross disciplines events and grow strengths as the encouragement to take classes out of a specific faculty would come from the students.<br /> <br /> === Milestone #4 - commence uni subjects that are not tied to one particular faculty ===<br /> <br /> The final milestone after the range of improvements would be for the uni to introduce subjects that were not directly related to any specific faculty and instead were based around the aim of solving real life problems. Here students would come from a range of backgrounds and would be able solve issues in a challenge based learning environment. This would fit in well with the graduate attributes that UTS promotes and also would prepare students for real life work.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Ultimately the aim is to connect current communities on campus and allowing new students to find ways to get involved. This strategy hopes to influence the success of other strategies being implemented at the University.<br /> <br /> == Strategy #4 - Creating a Cohesive Innovation and Entrepreneurship Environment ==<br /> <br /> UTS is a large university with approximately 45,000 students currently enrolled. As a result, the UTS campus is vast and spread out over a large geographical area. As each building is home to a specific faculty, this creates a sense of pride and belonging within each faculty however it can also contribute to a feeling of disassociation with the rest of the university. This is especially true in the case of the innovation building which most students are completely unaware of.<br /> <br /> After interviewing several students from the Faculty of Engineering and IT, we could not find a single student who was aware of the existence of this innovation building where so many of UTS' I&E programs take place. Through our own experiences at UTS, we have observed a rift between the students who frequently engage in I&E activities and those who do not. After speaking with students, most told us that they would have gotten involved in these activities had they known about them. From these discussions coupled with our own experiences, we believe the main cause of this is poor advertising and the physical isolation of I&E programs and initiatives within the innovation building.<br /> <br /> Instead of perpetuating an environment in which students are forced to seek out I&E programs and events themselves, we believe the solution to this problem is to bring small I&E experiences into the everyday life of the UTS student. We are still investigating how best to do this with ongoing ideation, prototyping, and feedback.<br /> <br /> = Related Links =<br /> <br /> UTS Home Page:<br /> <br /> [https://www.uts.edu.au https://www.uts.edu.au]<br /> <br /> UTS Hatchery Home Page:<br /> <br /> [https://www.uts.edu.au/current-students/opportunities/hatchery/overview https://www.uts.edu.au/current-students/opportunities/hatchery/overview]<br /> <br /> UTS FaceBook Page:<br /> <br /> [https://www.facebook.com/UTSEngage/ https://www.facebook.com/UTSFEIT/]<br /> <br /> Spring 2018 UIF:<br /> <br /> [[Alastair Bate|Alastair Bate]]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/User:PreslandBoy Laurence Presland]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/User:JamesRyan James Ryan]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/User:Gavan_Huang Gavan Huang]<br /> <br /> Spring 2017 UIF:<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Matthew_Childs Matthew Childs]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Peter_Cole Peter Cole]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Irene_Hsieh Irene Hsieh]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Corey_Stewart Corey Stewart]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Student Priorities|u]]</div>

<p>AlastairBate: </p> <hr /> <div>== Overview<br/> ==<br /> <br /> {{#widget:YouTube|id=PKCKcI0qSYk}}<br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:large">Strategy #1 Creation of an innovation space</span><br/> ==<br /> <br /> Recently, UTS has begun encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship around campus, made evident by starting two team in the University Innovation Fellows program. Created by the previous and new candidate UIF’s at UTS, this strategy aims to provide a place to facilitate innovation collaboration and teamwork for students. Currently this strategy is already off the ground and we have already pitched our ideas to the heads of the Engineering and IT faculty and they are more than enthusiastic with our idea.<br /> <br /> === Milestone 1: Initial Stakeholder meeting - <span style="color:#00ff00">Completed</span><br/> ===<br /> <br /> What got our project started was when the heads of the Engineering and IT Faculty emailed us expressing interest in re-purposing a previously unused space in the Engineering and IT building.<br /> <br /> === Milestone 2: Idea Pitch - <span style="color:#00ff00">Completed</span><br/> ===<br /> <br /> Two weeks from our initial stakeholder meeting, we re-scheduled a meeting with the faculty leaders to pitch our ideas. We generated three ideas for our innovation space<br /> <br /> === Milestone 3: Investor Pitch - <span style="color:#00ff00">Completed</span><br/> ===<br /> <br /> To provide funding for the room, the faculty leaders had a potential investor lined up who was interested to know what kind of opportunities this space could provide for students. We had a short meeting with the investor where we gave him a summarised version of our three pitches and explained why this un used space should be re purposed. Over all the investor had a positive opinion of our ideas and even had his ideas and suggestions to improve our ideas.<br /> <br /> === Milestone 4:&nbsp; Project Follow Up – Planned Feb 2018<br/> ===<br /> <br /> In this milestone we aim to discuss potential strategies to take our ideas to the final stages and eventually turn the innovation space from an idea into a reality.<br /> <br /> === Milestone 5: Working with architects or designers – Planned March 2018<br/> ===<br /> <br /> In this milestone we aim to create a design for the final product by working architects and designers.

It is very rare to see new and interesting spaces open from existing spaces inside UTS, so we aim to have an awesome opening ceremony.<br /> <br /> == <br/> ==<br /> <br /> == Strategy #2 - Improving communication of current innovation and entrepreneurship opportunities to students. ==<br /> <br /> During interviews with first year students at UTS we discovered that communication of existing innovation and entrepreneurship&nbsp;opportunities was lacking and potentially resulting in students not attending events or not gaining a proper understanding of the existing opportunities.<br/><br/>As a result we would like to identify methods for improving the communication between innovation resources and students and help connect interested students with events and activities that can help them on their entrepreneurial journeys. Our current prototyping has found that QR codes while initially seaming like a fun and interesting way for students to interact is actually seen as a hindrance and may not be fully utilised as would be expected.<br/><br/>We would like to trial more advertising and communication techniques such as an "innovation board" in a communal area of the university, "abstract links" that get students completing a challenge or game to gain access to a link to information or mass advertising drops using interesting mediums such as bouncy balls with links or slickers found all throughout the university.<br /> <br /> '''The Plan:'''<br /> <br /> To start off we would first like to pilot the "Innovation Board" idea using a small group of students from a common area on campus such as the main lobby of the UTS tower. A UIF leader with a whiteboard divided into sections would prompt students to add a "card" (sticky note) to the board under particular sections. These sections could be for example "What does it mean to be innovative", "What skills does an entrepreneur need" etc. The board would also have information about where to find out more and events comming up on campus that could help them in finding out the answers.<br /> <br /> Initially students would be guided to the board and asked questions about the board such as "how they would use it", "did they find it intuitive"," was the experience fun/educational" etc. Using this feedback we could start to get a better idea of how students would interact with such an instalment and how we could improve it so that they get the most value from it. In the long term we would like to find ways to integrate the innovation board into related classes, subjects and courses to help it become a focal point of innovation and entrepreneurship at UTS.<br/><br/>By increasing student awareness of the programs, opportunities and other students that exist both on campus and in the surrounding community we hope to increase the innovation and entrepreneurship culture at UTS and generate higher motivation within our peers to take on new challenges and follow through with innovative ideas.<br /> <br /> == Strategy #3 - Social Events to Break Down Faculty Separations ==<br /> <br /> When interviewing students from various degree backgrounds, it was often evident that rarely interacted with students who were apart of a different faculty to themselves.

As a direct response to the demand. The university has introduced incubator-like programs for students and undergraduate courses to support ongoing students and new alike, in this area. There has been many successful programs and it has been well received by students of all disciplines.<br /> <br /> However examining the bigger picture, it is clear that these programs overlap and no coherent community was formed between these programs and faculties. One of the problem space this strategy plans to address is the segregated but successful programs the university is producing. The problem space became apparent - how can we conjugate these groups of highly talented people and their ideas to entwine a larger network and form stronger presence of innovation and entrepreneur at the university.<br /> <br /> Following this observation, the University Innovation Fellows plan to host a series of social events in the aim of joining programs and communities. These social events are designed to cultivate conversations for students, staff members and those in the industry. It will be run regularly by students with creativity. Events such as interfaculty debates or startup fairs are a few among ways to get individuals involved.<br /> <br /> Ultimately the aim is to connect current communities on campus and allowing new students to find ways to get involved.

We aim to have a professional looking design that will be enticing to students as well as serve their practical needs for innovation and collaboration.<br /> <br /> === Milestone 6: Construction - Planned April 2018<br/> ===<br /> <br /> For the construction of our space we aim for it to take as little time as possible, to minimise disturbance for the students, with the construction taking place outside of peak university times.<br /> <br /> === Milestone 7: Grand opening - Planned July 2018<br/> ===<br /> <br /> In this milestone we intend to open our innovation space to the students. It is very rare to see new and interesting spaces open from existing spaces inside UTS, so we aim to have an awesome opening ceremony.<br /> <br /> == <br/> ==<br /> <br /> == Strategy #2 - Improving communication of current innovation and entrepreneurship opportunities to students. ==<br /> <br /> During interviews with first year students at UTS we discovered that communication of existing innovation and entrepreneurship&nbsp;opportunities was lacking and potentially resulting in students not attending events or not gaining a proper understanding of the existing opportunities.<br/><br/>As a result we would like to identify methods for improving the communication between innovation resources and students and help connect interested students with events and activities that can help them on their entrepreneurial journeys. Our current prototyping has found that QR codes while initially seaming like a fun and interesting way for students to interact is actually seen as a hindrance and may not be fully utilised as would be expected.<br/><br/>We would like to trial more advertising and communication techniques such as an "innovation board" in a communal area of the university, "abstract links" that get students completing a challenge or game to gain access to a link to information or mass advertising drops using interesting mediums such as bouncy balls with links or slickers found all throughout the university.<br /> <br /> '''The Plan:'''<br /> <br /> To start off we would first like to pilot the "Innovation Board" idea using a small group of students from a common area on campus such as the main lobby of the UTS tower. A UIF leader with a whiteboard divided into sections would prompt students to add a "card" (sticky note) to the board under particular sections. These sections could be for example "What does it mean to be innovative", "What skills does an entrepreneur need" etc. The board would also have information about where to find out more and events comming up on campus that could help them in finding out the answers.<br /> <br /> Initially students would be guided to the board and asked questions about the board such as "how they would use it", "did they find it intuitive"," was the experience fun/educational" etc. Using this feedback we could start to get a better idea of how students would interact with such an instalment and how we could improve it so that they get the most value from it. In the long term we would like to find ways to integrate the innovation board into related classes, subjects and courses to help it become a focal point of innovation and entrepreneurship at UTS.<br/><br/>By increasing student awareness of the programs, opportunities and other students that exist both on campus and in the surrounding community we hope to increase the innovation and entrepreneurship culture at UTS and generate higher motivation within our peers to take on new challenges and follow through with innovative ideas.<br /> <br /> == Strategy #4 - Social Events to Break Down Faculty Separations ==<br /> <br /> When interviewing students from various degree backgrounds, it was often evident that rarely interacted with students who were apart of a different faculty to themselves. In many occasions, they barely interacted with people outside of their own course. We have often seen that students who know more people in a cross disciplined environment often get involved with a much grander range of activities and therefore enjoy their university experience more.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> === Tactic #1 - Run innovation workshops for cross faculty students to encourage innovation and meeting of friends ===<br /> <br /> === Tactic #2 - Run social events that are not discipline specific ===<br /> <br /> === Tactic #3 - Host uni wide hackathons to get people involved ===<br /> <br /> === Milestone #1 - Host a networking event at which there is no more than 35% of students from a particular faculty ===<br /> <br /> === Milsestone #2 - Expland the UIF program at UTS outside of the Engineering Faculty ===<br /> <br /> === Milestone #3 - Make orientation a uni wide event with activites for all students. ===<br /> <br /> === Milestone #4 - commence uni subjects that are not tied to one particular faculty ===<br /> <br /> Examining the current ecosystem of our campus, it was clear that the university has recognise a need for students to learn about innovation and entrepreneurship. As a direct response to the demand. The university has introduced incubator-like programs for students and undergraduate courses to support ongoing students and new alike, in this area. There has been many successful programs and it has been well received by students of all disciplines.<br /> <br /> However examining the bigger picture, it is clear that these programs overlap and no coherent community was formed between these programs and faculties. One of the problem space this strategy plans to address is the segregated but successful programs the university is producing. The problem space became apparent - how can we conjugate these groups of highly talented people and their ideas to entwine a larger network and form stronger presence of innovation and entrepreneur at the university.<br /> <br /> Following this observation, the University Innovation Fellows plan to host a series of social events in the aim of joining programs and communities. These social events are designed to cultivate conversations for students, staff members and those in the industry. It will be run regularly by students with creativity. Events such as interfaculty debates or startup fairs are a few among ways to get individuals involved.<br /> <br /> Ultimately the aim is to connect current communities on campus and allowing new students to find ways to get involved. This strategy hopes to influence the success of other strategies being implemented at the University.<br /> <br /> == Strategy #5 - Creating a Cohesive Innovation and Entrepreneurship Environment ==<br /> <br /> UTS is a large university with approximately 45,000 students currently enrolled. As a result, the UTS campus is vast and spread out over a large geographical area. As each building is home to a specific faculty, this creates a sense of pride and belonging within each faculty however it can also contribute to a feeling of disassociation with the rest of the university. This is especially true in the case of the innovation building which most students are completely unaware of.<br /> <br /> After interviewing several students from the Faculty of Engineering and IT, we could not find a single student who was aware of the existence of this innovation building where so many of UTS' I&E programs take place. Through our own experiences at UTS, we have observed a rift between the students who frequently engage in I&E activities and those who do not. After speaking with students, most told us that they would have gotten involved in these activities had they known about them. From these discussions coupled with our own experiences, we believe the main cause of this is poor advertising and the physical isolation of I&E programs and initiatives within the innovation building.<br /> <br /> Instead of perpetuating an environment in which students are forced to seek out I&E programs and events themselves, we believe the solution to this problem is to bring small I&E experiences into the everyday life of the UTS student. We are still investigating how best to do this with ongoing ideation, prototyping, and feedback.<br /> <br /> = Related Links =<br /> <br /> UTS Home Page:<br /> <br /> [https://www.uts.edu.au https://www.uts.edu.au]<br /> <br /> UTS Hatchery Home Page:<br /> <br /> [https://www.uts.edu.au/current-students/opportunities/hatchery/overview https://www.uts.edu.au/current-students/opportunities/hatchery/overview]<br /> <br /> UTS FaceBook Page:<br /> <br /> [https://www.facebook.com/UTSEngage/ https://www.facebook.com/UTSFEIT/]<br /> <br /> Spring 2018 UIF:<br /> <br /> [[Alastair Bate|Alastair Bate]]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/User:PreslandBoy Laurence Presland]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/User:JamesRyan James Ryan]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/User:Gavan_Huang Gavan Huang]<br /> <br /> Spring 2017 UIF:<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Matthew_Childs Matthew Childs]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Peter_Cole Peter Cole]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Irene_Hsieh Irene Hsieh]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Corey_Stewart Corey Stewart]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Student Priorities|u]]</div>

This strategy aims to boost students' interest in both entrepreneurship and innovation through the creation of a common place or hub where students can obtain advice. Advice can be offered by any individuals familiar in this area and can involve things such as,<br /> <br /> *How to register a Business<br /> *How to do customer research<br /> *When to seek legal advice<br /> *Different funding options that are available<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The aim is to encourage studentes to launch more successful start-ups, whilst developing a passion for innovation and design thinking principles.<br /> <br /> Various interviews with students has shown that there is a demand for this type of help centre. There are many different obstacles which students must overcome to start successful start-ups. Through helping students through these initial stages, UTS will be able to incubate and launch many more successful businesses. Further concreting the universities place as the most innovative and forward thinking campus in Australia.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> All programs including this will need support and funding to make it successful. Initially, our aim was to obtain funding from the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) which is a compulsory fee paid by all students. However, after consulting with various staff from different faculties, we have received incredible support and many resources made available to make this space a reality.<br /> <br /> == Strategy #3 - Improving communication of current innovation and entrepreneurship opportunities to students. ==<br /> <br /> During interviews with first year students at UTS we discovered that communication of existing innovation and entrepreneurship&nbsp;opportunities was lacking and potentially resulting in students not attending events or not gaining a proper understanding of the existing opportunities.<br/><br/>As a result we would like to identify methods for improving the communication between innovation resources and students and help connect interested students with events and activities that can help them on their entrepreneurial journeys.

Currently this strategy is already off the ground and we have already pitched our ideas to the heads of the Engineering and IT faculty and they are more than enthusiastic with our idea.<br /> <br /> '''Milestone 1: Initial Stakeholder meeting - <span style="color:#00ff00">Completed</span>'''<br /> <br /> What got our project started was when the heads of the Engineering and IT Faculty emailed us expressing interest in re-purposing a previously unused space in the Engineering and IT building.<br /> <br /> '''Milestone 2: Idea Pitch - <span style="color:#00ff00">Completed</span>'''<br /> <br /> Two weeks from our initial stakeholder meeting, we re-scheduled a meeting with the faculty leaders to pitch our ideas. We generated three ideas for our innovation space<br /> <br /> '''Milestone 3: Investor Pitch - <span style="color:#00ff00">Completed</span>'''<br /> <br /> To provide funding for the room, the faculty leaders had a potential investor lined up who was interested to know what kind of opportunities this space could provide for students. We had a short meeting with the investor where we gave him a summarised version of our three pitches and explained why this un used space should be re purposed. Over all the investor had a positive opinion of our ideas and even had his ideas and suggestions to improve our ideas.<br /> <br /> '''Milestone 4:&nbsp; Project Follow Up – Planned Feb 2018'''<br /> <br /> In this milestone we aim to discuss potential strategies to take our ideas to the final stages and eventually turn the innovation space from an idea into a reality.<br /> <br /> '''Milestone 5: Working with architects or designers – Planned March 2018'''<br /> <br /> In this milestone we aim to create a design for the final product by working architects and designers. We aim to have a professional looking design that will be enticing to students as well as serve their practical needs for innovation and collaboration.<br /> <br /> '''Milestone 6: Construction - Planned April 2018'''<br /> <br /> For the construction of our space we aim for it to take as little time as possible, to minimise disturbance for the students, with the construction taking place outside of peak university times.<br /> <br /> '''Milestone 7: Grand opening - Planned July 2018'''<br /> <br /> In this milestone we intend to open our innovation space to the students. It is very rare to see new and interesting spaces open from existing spaces inside UTS, so we aim to have an awesome opening ceremony.<br /> <br /> == Strategy #2 - Creation of an Entrepreneurship & Innovation Help Centre ==<br /> <br /> Recently, UTS has begun encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship around campus. This strategy aims to boost students' interest in both entrepreneurship and innovation through the creation of a common place or hub where students can obtain advice. Advice can be offered by any individuals familiar in this area and can involve things such as,<br /> <br /> *How to register a Business<br /> *How to do customer research<br /> *When to seek legal advice<br /> *Different funding options that are available<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The aim is to encourage studentes to launch more successful start-ups, whilst developing a passion for innovation and design thinking principles.<br /> <br /> Various interviews with students has shown that there is a demand for this type of help centre. There are many different obstacles which students must overcome to start successful start-ups. Through helping students through these initial stages, UTS will be able to incubate and launch many more successful businesses. Further concreting the universities place as the most innovative and forward thinking campus in Australia.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> All programs including this will need support and funding to make it successful. Initially, our aim was to obtain funding from the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) which is a compulsory fee paid by all students. However, after consulting with various staff from different faculties, we have received incredible support and many resources made available to make this space a reality.<br /> <br /> == Strategy #3 - Improving communication of current innovation and entrepreneurship opportunities to students. ==<br /> <br /> During interviews with first year students at UTS we discovered that communication of existing innovation and entrepreneurship&nbsp;opportunities was lacking and potentially resulting in students not attending events or not gaining a proper understanding of the existing opportunities.<br/><br/>As a result we would like to identify methods for improving the communication between innovation resources and students and help connect interested students with events and activities that can help them on their entrepreneurial journeys. Our current prototyping has found that QR codes while initially seaming like a fun and interesting way for students to interact is actually seen as a hindrance and may not be fully utilised as would be expected.<br/><br/>We would like to trial more advertising and communication techniques such as an "innovation board" in a communal area of the university, "abstract links" that get students completing a challenge or game to gain access to a link to information or mass advertising drops using interesting mediums such as bouncy balls with links or slickers found all throughout the university.<br /> <br /> '''The Plan:'''<br /> <br /> To start off we would first like to pilot the "Innovation Board" idea using a small group of students from a common area on campus such as the main lobby of the UTS tower. A UIF leader with a whiteboard divided into sections would prompt students to add a "card" (sticky note) to the board under particular sections. These sections could be for example "What does it mean to be innovative", "What skills does an entrepreneur need" etc. The board would also have information about where to find out more and events comming up on campus that could help them in finding out the answers.<br /> <br /> Initially students would be guided to the board and asked questions about the board such as "how they would use it", "did they find it intuitive"," was the experience fun/educational" etc. Using this feedback we could start to get a better idea of how students would interact with such an instalment and how we could improve it so that they get the most value from it. In the long term we would like to find ways to integrate the innovation board into related classes, subjects and courses to help it become a focal point of innovation and entrepreneurship at UTS.<br/><br/>By increasing student awareness of the programs, opportunities and other students that exist both on campus and in the surrounding community we hope to increase the innovation and entrepreneurship culture at UTS and generate higher motivation within our peers to take on new challenges and follow through with innovative ideas.<br /> <br /> == Strategy #4 - Social Events to Break Down Faculty Separations ==<br /> <br /> When interviewing students from various degree backgrounds, it was often evident that rarely interacted with students who were apart of a different faculty to themselves. In many occasions, they barely interacted with people outside of their own course. We have often seen that students who know more people in a cross disciplined environment often get involved with a much grander range of activities and therefore enjoy their university experience more.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> === Tactic #1 - Run innovation workshops for cross faculty students to encourage innovation and meeting of friends ===<br /> <br /> === Tactic #2 - Run social events that are not discipline specific ===<br /> <br /> === Tactic #3 - Host uni wide hackathons to get people involved ===<br /> <br /> === Milestone #1 - Host a networking event at which there is no more than 35% of students from a particular faculty ===<br /> <br /> === Milsestone #2 - Expland the UIF program at UTS outside of the Engineering Faculty ===<br /> <br /> === Milestone #3 - Make orientation a uni wide event with activites for all students. ===<br /> <br /> === Milestone #4 - commence uni subjects that are not tied to one particular faculty ===<br /> <br /> Examining the current ecosystem of our campus, it was clear that the university has recognise a need for students to learn about innovation and entrepreneurship. As a direct response to the demand. The university has introduced incubator-like programs for students and undergraduate courses to support ongoing students and new alike, in this area. There has been many successful programs and it has been well received by students of all disciplines.<br /> <br /> However examining the bigger picture, it is clear that these programs overlap and no coherent community was formed between these programs and faculties. One of the problem space this strategy plans to address is the segregated but successful programs the university is producing. The problem space became apparent - how can we conjugate these groups of highly talented people and their ideas to entwine a larger network and form stronger presence of innovation and entrepreneur at the university.<br /> <br /> Following this observation, the University Innovation Fellows plan to host a series of social events in the aim of joining programs and communities. These social events are designed to cultivate conversations for students, staff members and those in the industry. It will be run regularly by students with creativity. Events such as interfaculty debates or startup fairs are a few among ways to get individuals involved.<br /> <br /> Ultimately the aim is to connect current communities on campus and allowing new students to find ways to get involved. This strategy hopes to influence the success of other strategies being implemented at the University.<br /> <br /> == Strategy #5 - Creating a Cohesive Innovation and Entrepreneurship Environment ==<br /> <br /> UTS is a large university with approximately 45,000 students currently enrolled. As a result, the UTS campus is vast and spread out over a large geographical area. As each building is home to a specific faculty, this creates a sense of pride and belonging within each faculty however it can also contribute to a feeling of disassociation with the rest of the university. This is especially true in the case of the innovation building which most students are completely unaware of.<br /> <br /> After interviewing several students from the Faculty of Engineering and IT, we could not find a single student who was aware of the existence of this innovation building where so many of UTS' I&E programs take place. Through our own experiences at UTS, we have observed a rift between the students who frequently engage in I&E activities and those who do not. After speaking with students, most told us that they would have gotten involved in these activities had they known about them. From these discussions coupled with our own experiences, we believe the main cause of this is poor advertising and the physical isolation of I&E programs and initiatives within the innovation building.<br /> <br /> Instead of perpetuating an environment in which students are forced to seek out I&E programs and events themselves, we believe the solution to this problem is to bring small I&E experiences into the everyday life of the UTS student. We are still investigating how best to do this with ongoing ideation, prototyping, and feedback.<br /> <br /> = Related Links =<br /> <br /> UTS Home Page:<br /> <br /> [https://www.uts.edu.au https://www.uts.edu.au]<br /> <br /> UTS Hatchery Home Page:<br /> <br /> [https://www.uts.edu.au/current-students/opportunities/hatchery/overview https://www.uts.edu.au/current-students/opportunities/hatchery/overview]<br /> <br /> UTS FaceBook Page:<br /> <br /> [https://www.facebook.com/UTSEngage/ https://www.facebook.com/UTSFEIT/]<br /> <br /> Spring 2018 UIF:<br /> <br /> [[Alastair Bate|Alastair Bate]]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/User:PreslandBoy Laurence Presland]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/User:JamesRyan James Ryan]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/User:Gavan_Huang Gavan Huang]<br /> <br /> Spring 2017 UIF:<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Matthew_Childs Matthew Childs]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Peter_Cole Peter Cole]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Irene_Hsieh Irene Hsieh]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Corey_Stewart Corey Stewart]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Student Priorities|u]]</div>

These sections could be for example "What does it mean to be innovative", "What skills does an entrepreneur need" etc. The board would also have information about where to find out more and events comming up on campus that could help them in finding out the answers.<br /> <br /> Initially students would be guided to the board and asked questions about the board such as "how they would use it", "did they find it intuitive"," was the experience fun/educational" etc. Using this feedback we could start to get a better idea of how students would interact with such an instalment and how we could improve it so that they get the most value from it. In the long term we would like to find ways to integrate the innovation board into related classes, subjects and courses to help it become a focal point of innovation and entrepreneurship at UTS.<br/><br/>By increasing student awareness of the programs, opportunities and other students that exist both on campus and in the surrounding community we hope to increase the innovation and entrepreneurship culture at UTS and generate higher motivation within our peers to take on new challenges and follow through with innovative ideas.<br /> <br /> == Strategy #4 - Social Events to Break Down Faculty Separations ==<br /> <br /> When interviewing students from various degree backgrounds, it was often evident that rarely interacted with students who were apart of a different faculty to themselves. In many occasions, they barely interacted with people outside of their own course.<br /> <br /> Examining the current ecosystem of our campus, it was clear that the university has recognise a need for students to learn about innovation and entrepreneurship. As a direct response to the demand. The university has introduced incubator-like programs for students and undergraduate courses to support ongoing students and new alike, in this area. There has been many successful programs and it has been well received by students of all disciplines.<br /> <br /> However examining the bigger picture, it is clear that these programs overlap and no coherent community was formed between these programs and faculties. One of the problem space this strategy plans to address is the segregated but successful programs the university is producing. The problem space became apparent - how can we conjugate these groups of highly talented people and their ideas to entwine a larger network and form stronger presence of innovation and entrepreneur at the university.<br /> <br /> Following this observation, the University Innovation Fellows plan to host a series of social events in the aim of joining programs and communities. These social events are designed to cultivate conversations for students, staff members and those in the industry. It will be run regularly by students with creativity. Events such as interfaculty debates or startup fairs are a few among ways to get individuals involved.<br /> <br /> Ultimately the aim is to connect current communities on campus and allowing new students to find ways to get involved. This strategy hopes to influence the success of other strategies being implemented at the University.<br /> <br /> == Strategy #5 - Creating a Cohesive Innovation and Entrepreneurship Environment ==<br /> <br /> UTS is a large university with approximately 45,000 students currently enrolled. As a result, the UTS campus is vast and spread out over a large geographical area. As each building is home to a specific faculty, this creates a sense of pride and belonging within each faculty however it can also contribute to a feeling of disassociation with the rest of the university. This is especially true in the case of the innovation building which most students are completely unaware of.<br /> <br /> After interviewing several students from the Faculty of Engineering and IT, we could not find a single student who was aware of the existence of this innovation building where so many of UTS' I&E programs take place. Through our own experiences at UTS, we have observed a rift between the students who frequently engage in I&E activities and those who do not. After speaking with students, most told us that they would have gotten involved in these activities had they known about them. From these discussions coupled with our own experiences, we believe the main cause of this is poor advertising and the physical isolation of I&E programs and initiatives within the innovation building.<br /> <br /> Instead of perpetuating an environment in which students are forced to seek out I&E programs and events themselves, we believe the solution to this problem is to bring small I&E experiences into the everyday life of the UTS student. We are still investigating how best to do this with ongoing ideation, prototyping, and feedback.<br /> <br /> = Related Links =<br /> <br /> UTS Home Page:<br /> <br /> [https://www.uts.edu.au https://www.uts.edu.au]<br /> <br /> UTS Hatchery Home Page:<br /> <br /> [https://www.uts.edu.au/current-students/opportunities/hatchery/overview https://www.uts.edu.au/current-students/opportunities/hatchery/overview]<br /> <br /> UTS FaceBook Page:<br /> <br /> [https://www.facebook.com/UTSEngage/ https://www.facebook.com/UTSFEIT/]<br /> <br /> Spring 2018 UIF:<br /> <br /> [[Alastair Bate|Alastair Bate]]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/User:PreslandBoy Laurence Presland]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/User:JamesRyan James Ryan]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/User:Gavan_Huang Gavan Huang]<br /> <br /> Spring 2017 UIF:<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Matthew_Childs Matthew Childs]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Peter_Cole Peter Cole]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Irene_Hsieh Irene Hsieh]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Corey_Stewart Corey Stewart]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Student Priorities|u]]</div>

<p>AlastairBate: </p> <hr /> <div>== Overview ==<br /> <br /> {{#widget:YouTube|id=PKCKcI0qSYk}}<br /> <br /> == Strategy #1 - Introduce a Featured Startup Company ==<br /> <br /> One of the major issues uncovered&nbsp;during our landscape canvas was student engagement with innovation or entrepreneurship. We need to help show the general university population that innovation and entrepreneurship is for everyone and it can help them in all different ways throughout their life.<br/><br/>To help encourage more involvement by students and therefore improve innovation at the University of Technology Sydney(UTS), we need better advertisement strategies. We believe students will respond well to featured Entrepreneurs of the week or month. This way we can prove to current students that Entrepreneurship is something normal and the mind set can help them with their everyday lives.<br /> <br /> <br/>At the bottom of the advertisement there&nbsp;will be a QR code or website address, where students can find more information about all innovation programs offered by UTS. The website which lists them&nbsp;should list them in stages, starting with small design thinking workshops already running at UTS to the Hatchery Plus. This way students are encouraged to take small steps and approach design thinking workshops.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> Another well documented engagement strategy is design thinking workshops. Perhaps weekly events at the university bar and teach the basics of design thinking could be set up. At the moment most students don’t know what design thinking is, so they are unlikely to go to events at the h. We can provide that basic knowledge, build their fundamentals and act as a gateway to further innovation/ Entrepreneurship studies and actions.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #2 - Creation of an Entrepreneurship & Innovation Help Centre ==<br /> <br /> Recently, UTS has begun encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship around campus. This strategy aims to boost students' interest in both entrepreneurship and innovation through the creation of a common place or hub where students can obtain advice. Advice can be offered by any individuals familiar in this area and can involve things such as,<br /> <br /> *How to register a Business<br /> *How to do customer research<br /> *When to seek legal advice<br /> *Different funding options that are available<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The aim is to encourage studentes to launch more successful start-ups, whilst developing a passion for innovation and design thinking principles.<br /> <br /> Various interviews with students has shown that there is a demand for this type of help centre. There are many different obstacles which students must overcome to start successful start-ups. Through helping students through these initial stages, UTS will be able to incubate and launch many more successful businesses. Further concreting the universities place as the most innovative and forward thinking campus in Australia.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> All programs including this will need support and funding to make it successful. Initially, our aim was to obtain funding from the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) which is a compulsory fee paid by all students. However, after consulting with various staff from different faculties, we have received incredible support and many resources made available to make this space a reality.<br /> <br /> == Strategy #3 - Improving communication of current innovation and entrepreneurship opportunities to students. ==<br /> <br /> During interviews with first year students at UTS we discovered that communication of existing innovation and entrepreneurship&nbsp;opportunities was lacking and potentially resulting in students not attending events or not gaining a proper understanding of the existing opportunities.<br/><br/>As a result we would like to identify methods for improving the communication between innovation resources and students and help connect interested students with events and activities that can help them on their entrepreneurial journeys. Our current prototyping has found that QR codes while initially seaming like a fun and interesting way for students to interact is actually seen as a hindrance and may not be fully utilised as would be expected.<br/><br/>We would like to trial more advertising and communication techniques such as an "innovation board" in a communal area of the university, "abstract links" that get students completing a challenge or game to gain access to a link to information or mass advertising drops using interesting mediums such as bouncy balls with links or slickers found all throughout the university.<br /> <br /> '''The Plan:'''<br /> <br /> To start off we would first like to pilot the "Innovation Board" idea using a small group of students from a common area on campus such as the main lobby of the UTS tower.

Advice can be offered by any individuals familiar in this area and can involve things such as,<br /> <br /> *How to register a Business<br /> *How to do customer research<br /> *When to seek legal advice<br /> *Different funding options that are available<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The aim is to encourage studentes to launch more successful start-ups, whilst developing a passion for innovation and design thinking principles.<br /> <br /> Various interviews with students has shown that there is a demand for this type of help centre. There are many different obstacles which students must overcome to start successful start-ups. Through helping students through these initial stages, UTS will be able to incubate and launch many more successful businesses. Further concreting the universities place as the most innovative and forward thinking campus in Australia.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> All programs including this will need support and funding to make it successful. Initially, our aim was to obtain funding from the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) which is a compulsory fee paid by all students. However, after consulting with various staff from different faculties, we have received incredible support and many resources made available to make this space a reality.<br /> <br /> == Strategy #3 - Improving communication of current innovation and entrepreneurship opportunities to students. ==<br /> <br /> During interviews with first year students at UTS we discovered that communication of existing innovation and entrepreneurship&nbsp;opportunities was lacking and potentially resulting in students not attending events or not gaining a proper understanding of the existing opportunities.<br/><br/>As a result we would like to identify methods for improving the communication between innovation resources and students and help connect interested students with events and activities that can help them on their entrepreneurial journeys. Our current prototyping has found that QR codes while initially seaming like a fun and interesting way for students to interact is actually seen as a hindrance and may not be fully utilised as would be expected.<br/><br/>We would like to trial more advertising and communication techniques such as an "innovation board" in a communal area of the university, "abstract links" that get students completing a challenge or game to gain access to a link to information or mass advertising drops using interesting mediums such as bouncy balls with links or slickers found all throughout the university.<br /> <br /> '''The Plan:'''<br /> <br /> To start off we would first like to pilot the "Innovation Board" idea using a small group of students from a common area on campus such as the main lobby of the UTS tower. A UIF leader with a whiteboard divided into sections would prompt students to add a "card" (sticky note) to the board under particular sections. These sections could be for example "What does it mean to be innovative", "What skills does an entrepreneur need" etc. The board would also have information about where to find out more and events comming up on campus that could help them in finding out the answers.<br /> <br /> Initially students would be guided to the board and asked questions about the board such as "how they would use it", "did they find it intuitive"," was the experience fun/educational" etc. Using this feedback we could start to get a better idea of how students would interact with such an instalment and how we could improve it so that they get the most value from it. In the long term we would like to find ways to integrate the innovation board into related classes, subjects and courses to help it become a focal point of innovation and entrepreneurship at UTS.<br/><br/>By increasing student awareness of the programs, opportunities and other students that exist both on campus and in the surrounding community we hope to increase the innovation and entrepreneurship culture at UTS and generate higher motivation within our peers to take on new challenges and follow through with innovative ideas.<br /> <br /> == Strategy #4 - Social events to connect communities ==<br /> <br /> Examining the current ecosystem of our campus, it was clear that the university has recognise a need for students to learn about innovation and entrepreneurship. As a direct response to the demand. The university has introduced incubator-like programs for students and undergraduate courses to support ongoing students and new alike, in this area. There has been many successful programs and it has been well received by students of all disciplines.<br /> <br /> However examining the bigger picture, it is clear that these programs overlap and no coherent community was formed between these programs and faculties. One of the problem space this strategy plans to address is the segregated but successful programs the university is producing. The problem space became apparent - how can we conjugate these groups of highly talented people and their ideas to entwine a larger network and form stronger presence of innovation and entrepreneur at the university.<br /> <br /> Following this observation, the University Innovation Fellows plan to host a series of social events in the aim of joining programs and communities. These social events are designed to cultivate conversations for students, staff members and those in the industry. It will be run regularly by students with creativity. Events such as interfaculty debates or startup fairs are a few among ways to get individuals involved.<br /> <br /> Ultimately the aim is to connect current communities on campus and allowing new students to find ways to get involved. This strategy hopes to influence the success of other strategies being implemented at the University.<br /> <br /> = Related Links =<br /> <br /> UTS Home Page:<br /> <br /> [https://www.uts.edu.au https://www.uts.edu.au]<br /> <br /> UTS Hatchery Home Page:<br /> <br /> [https://www.uts.edu.au/current-students/opportunities/hatchery/overview https://www.uts.edu.au/current-students/opportunities/hatchery/overview]<br /> <br /> UTS FaceBook Page:<br /> <br /> [https://www.facebook.com/UTSEngage/ https://www.facebook.com/UTSFEIT/]<br /> <br /> Spring 2018 UIF:<br /> <br /> [[Alastair_Bate|Alastair Bate]]<br /> <br /> [[PreslandBoy|Laurence Presland]]<br /> <br /> [[JamesRyan.jpg|James Ryan]]<br /> <br /> [[Gavan_Huang|Gavan Huang]]<br /> <br /> Spring 2017 UIF:<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Matthew_Childs Matthew Childs]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Peter_Cole Peter Cole]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Irene_Hsieh Irene Hsieh]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Corey_Stewart Corey Stewart]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Student Priorities|u]]</div>
