The University of Colorado Denver is very much a growing school. Just recently in fact the University celebrated its 40th anniversary of being a separate school from the main Boulder campus. Due to this fact a lot of the I&E topics that we are discussing here as University Innovation Fellows are not existent right now and have not been investigated as to their feasibility. Just recently has the University of Colorado Denver thought about the possibility of getting a D-school and many other I&E facilities and programs however they are all still very much in the dreaming stages. However, with this being said as half of our University is a top ten medical school we have a few events that speak towards the I&E minds of our students and staff. One of these events is known as RaCAS or the Research and Creative Activities Symposium. This symposium brings together not only the faculty and staff doing research but also connects them with student researchers as well. This symposium has been something that has occurred for many years however as the symposium continued to grow it started to move to incorporate many different majors and fields of study to show off all[[File:RaCAS.jpeg]]
of the projects that are being done all over campus. By incorporating different projects from different areas all of our students got the ability to see projects from biology to music, exposing them to topics that they wouldn’t be generally exposed to in their normal courses. Overall the University of Colorado Denver has a lot of work to do however the administration and other invested partners are very much interested in being able to develop the University and push it to new heights, heights that have never been seen before by such a commuter campus as this one. It is the hope that through this program programs and facilities would be initiated to be able to bring innovation to campus.

'''NASA AMES FACILITY SAN JOSE CALIFORNIA'''

'''OVERVIEW:'''

----

When most people think of NASA AMES they see it as a field facility for NASA tests, not as a place for advancement of undergraduates when it comes to research. However, most people are right, NASA AMES is a field center that conducts world class research and development. However each one of those individuals that believes that misses an important part, the 2500 employees that are willing and able to help and develop any student that walks in their door.

'''PURPOSE:'''

----

NASA AMES Research center today is the leader in nanotechnology, information technology, fundamental space biology, biotechnology, thermal protection systems, and human factors research. Originally a center for Aeronautics, NASA AMES was the center for any and all developments in flight regimes in the 1960’s and 70’s. AMES has now turned into one of the main hubs for NASA to excel and achieve new heights when it comes to the development and implementation of new research.

'''Distinct Differences From Other Offerings:'''

----

Well how can this all help undergraduates? It all comes back to those 2500 employees involved in the high level end research. Those 2500 people are willing and able to let students in and help them develop their projects, all the student has to do is ask. To many times students look for an application process, or a list of criteria in order to do something; at NASA AMES that is not the case. When a student has a technological research project, all you have to do is send a NASA researcher an email and they will help you in a heartbeat. If anything this process is better for students as it pushes them to be able to communicate with what is called cold contact communication. Too many undergraduates are afraid of this topic and a lot of them try to look for a way which is structured, but they all forget the most important thing; they are a student. NASA AMES is always willing to help develop and train any student that walks in their door and have been doing it since its creation in 1958.

'''Impact Achieved For Students and Campus'''

----

Bu visiting NASA AMES and talking to researchers a student open him/her self and their university to many avenues of communication that have never been there before. By having student visit the facility and talk to researchers you are able to get individuals making connections that will last way past the length of this students time at university. Giving faculty the ability to be able to continue that connection and develop it with new students as they arrive.

'''Steps Required To Bring Resource to Campus'''

----

JUST ASK……

'''Contact Information'''

----

Any NASA researcher at NASA AMES.

'''Conclusion:'''

----

Overall NASA AMES provides a great platform for any student doing any innovation or research. The people located at this facility know what they are doing and are not hesitant to share their knowledge one bit. For undergraduates NASA AMES requires something a little different, students to take a different type of initiative, cold contact communication. Where a student must be able to email a researcher state their objective and what they would like to see back, this is a skill that not many facilities will be able to teach. Besides the overwhelming support for students NASA AMES also has an internship program which brings students to AMES over the summer and lets them get involved in the research projects that are going on. NASA AMES is truly a gift basket to any undergraduate seeking information or advice as he or she goes into the professional world of innovation and design.

Caleb Carr is a student studying Neuroscience at the University of Colorado Denver. His goal is to eventually go to Medical school to become an intensivist and a researcher. He is originally from Auckland, New Zealand but lived in Portland, Oregon for the majority of his life. In his time at the University of Colorado Denver, Caleb has involved himself in 3 research projects involving rescue helicopters, optogenetics, and Graft Vs. Host Disease. These research opportunities have driven him to become a UI fellow and pursue a MD/PhD program. He has also been actively a part of the student life on campus as an executive chair of student government and the universities mascot. In his free time he is found in the Cascades or Rockies doing Search and Rescue with local agencies or doing other mountaineering activities such as ice climbing or snow caving.
