<p>Canberkbal: </p> <hr /> <div>= Fellow Project Pitches =<br /> <br /> == Fellow Projects Pitch - 2016 ==<br /> <br /> {{#Widget:Youtube|id=TVR_IMkCNZ0}}<br /> <br /> (Prepared by Yaser Alkayale and Seline Dogan)<br /> <br /> == Fellow Project Pitch - 2015 ==<br /> <br /> {{#Widget:Youtube|id=FFWpEvOJMv0}}<br /> <br /> (Prepared by Justin Javorek and Dhruv Bhatia)<br /> <br /> = OVERVIEW =<br /> <br /> Dalhousie University is located in the heart of Halifax in Nova Scotia, Canada. Local startup ecosystem in Halifax is still at its growing stage. There have been several champions working on developing the ecosystem, but only very recently has the government started to put more pressure on universities to promote entrepreneurship and facilitate deeper connection with the local startup community. Based on this initiative there was a group of political, academic and business leaders formed called oneNS Coalition. The mandate of oneNS Coalition is to instill further growth in the region and a 10 year plan for economic development and sustainability. One of the major topics is entrepreneurship and innovation.<br /> <br /> Going through the training to become University Innovation Fellow, we had a great opportunity to get out of the building and talk to large amount of students and faculty member from across the campus and map out our campus landscape and recognize some of the major shortcomings that need to be addressed. One of our findings was that students are not very aware of the resources and possiblities the E&amp;I community can offer them at Dalhousie and Halifax. Although, some students are aware of some societies, events and spaces that are offered to them, majority of the students are in the mindset that the resources are mostly for business students at Dalhousie. This creates a lack of cross-faculty interaction under E&amp;I.<br /> <br /> The Sexton Engineering Campus at Dalhousie University is physically isolated from the main campus, Studley. This hinders the opportunity for full collaboration within the main campus. We believe that cross-faculty collaboration is essential for further growth of our startup ecosystem. A great example of this is a company called Spring Loaded, where three students from various faculties met in the Starting Lean Course, came up with an idea for a new generation of knee braces and rose over $1.8 million in seed financing to date. In addition to that, Dalhousie university is commited to make engineering campus for the upcoming $64M Innovation hub, IDEA project.<br /> <br /> Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society (D.E.S.) has done tremendous work in the short amount of time they have had since the society was created. Most of the activities and events that we will host will be under D.E.S. because it will give us the platform and power to be in touch with students who have shown some interest in E&amp;I. The D.E.S. will be our main hub that will allow us to get funding and reach the maximum number of students, stakeholder and investors. Our main goal this year is to get increased involvement from students, and for that, we need some funding to be able to bring value to them where they will have the incentive to join our society and take part in our activities.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #1 - Connecting Engineering Students with the rest of the campus =<br /> <br /> We are very pleased with the initiative from the university and the province to create the Innovation Hub (IDEA Building) which is a multipurpose building on Sexton Campus. As University Fellow candidates, we fully support this initiative and are willing to help to further promote it as well as help with information interviews, planning and further ideation on its programs and events.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Engineering Connect (E-Connect) ==<br /> <br /> Create a student-led club on the main campus that will promote our main makerspace on Sexton Campus. This space would serve as place where students can get in initial contact with 3D Printing, Electronics, Raspberry Pi’s and more. This would create a funnel of students on main campus for Innovation Hub on Sexton Campus.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #2 - Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society (D.E.S.) =<br /> <br /> A student-centric organization on campus that aims to build an inclusive innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem on the Dalhousie University campus from within by exposing students in all faculties to resources and funding opportunities, organizing hackathons, startup weekends, conferences and connecting them with the local startup community. D.E.S serves as a vehicle to deliver our strategic student priorities and initiatives.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Build a framework which we can pass along for next generation of student entrepreneurs. ==<br /> <br /> We are building a structure for our society so the new executives for the years to come can have a base to rely on. It is important for us not to just start a society but to also keep it alive and pass it on to other new executives who can take our roles and keep growing it as time goes by. This will be done through getting a ot of people involved with our events and setting guidlines and goals for us to achieve within a timeline. That way, students will take the society seriously and keep it going to achieve its goal of spreading innovation and entrepreneurship around campus.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Recruit students in their first and second year to ensure sustainable future for D.E.S. ==<br /> <br /> By getting students involved in the Entrepreneurship Society we can ensure a sustainable future for the society. Society will keep growing as years go by and students will have time to become familiar with E&amp;I before their graduation, which ultimately will increase the chances of more E&amp;I student achievements at Dalhousie.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.3: Raise awareness with series of student-driven events, meetups and competitions. ==<br /> <br /> In addition, we are currently in the process of creating new By-Laws and a more comprehensive Constitution to enable us fully establish ourselves as the leading student-led organization promoting Entrepreneurship and Innovation on Campus and help us seek further funding opportunities.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #3 - &quot;Collider&quot; in the Library&amp;nbsp; =<br /> <br /> The Collider is a multipurpose space in Killam Library for the collision of serendipitous ideas where from all academic and professional disciplines can come together to develop ideas and and create the future generation of innovators. The Collider connect students, local startups, mentors, investors and allows them to work together to help further grow the local startup ecosystem. Killam Library is the least-siloed space on the campus and place where people come together. It is in our best interest to help push this initiative to its full potential.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Series of Hackathons, Events &amp; Conferences ==<br /> <br /> The Collider would serve a great venue for a series of student-led hackathons, events &amp; conferences. The university does not currently host any regular hackathons for students, and that is something that needs to be changed. Our idea is to host a monthly hackathon with a different theme each month. One month it can be for ocean science and ocean projects, while another month it can be a computer science hackathon and possibly a medical science hackathon. These hackathons will serve as a great place for students who have ideas in each of these disciples to come together and work on them.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> Events and coferences are in our long term plan, but we definitely plan on hosting at least one big event a year to showcase the amazing students who have come up with innovative ideas for each year.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #4 - Co-curricular Record (Design Thinking &amp; Lean Methodology) =<br /> <br /> We proposing to have Design Thinking &amp; Lean Methodology offered as official co-curricular record to motivate students to get introduced to the entrepreneurial mindset. This would serve as an ideal channel to non-invasively encourage students to get involved with entrepreneurship on the campus.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Register all the Entrepreneurship and Innovation related events, contests, competitions, workshops etc. on co-curricular database. ==<br /> <br /> We have a great co-curricular record program at Dalhousie Unversity and we would like to leverage that to attract more students into our events and workshops. It is very important that students get recognized for the work that they have done, and showing them that the activities that they do with us will be officially recorded on their transcript is just an extra incenstive to attracting them into our programs.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Enable students to enter their volunteer, participant, mentor, speaker, winner positions within E&amp;I on their co-curricular record which later will benefit their resume. ==<br /> <br /> By allowing students to specify their roles for the specified events, workshops, contests, projects etc. in the co-curricular record will build the desire of wanting to engage more and be a part of something. This way students can have an attachment to the event, workshop etc. they took a part in.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #5 – Promote the use of The Collider =<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Hosting regular workshops in order to get students more informed and engaged about E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> As part of our initiative to get more students involved from all faculties, we will be hosting regular events and workshops for students to gain all the skills they need to run a startup. These workshops have to be regular so students get to know the schedule and come as they have available time. The workshops will be hosted by guest speakers and facilitated by volunteers. The topics we wish to cover include coding for beginners, design, making effective phone calls, and much more.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no. 2: Build a design thinking corner in the collider space ==<br /> <br /> We would like to enable students to use physical office/home supplies to create their prototypes right in the collider during the workshops, events, or contests. This will allow students to create a physical prototype and get one step closer to the final product.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #6 – Hold More Student-Lead Hackathons on a Regular Basis =<br /> <br /> We want to challenge the idea that hackathons are only tech-related. In order to get students from all backgrounds and faculties involved, we have to host hackathons for different disciplines like a hackathon for computer science, one for health sciences and another for ocean science. Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society held the first student-led hackathon for Oceanography and Marine programs Hackamarine 2015. Hackamarine is going to be an annual event held at Dalhousie University, a school well known for its world-class Marine &amp; Oceanography programs. This is a cross-faculty event aiming to bring talent from various fields to work on major problems in Oceans &amp; Marine Sciences. The winning teams took home a cumulative total of $5,000 in prizes.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Keep Hackamarine running annually to get more oceanography/earth sciences students engaged in E&amp;I. ==<br /> <br /> First Hackamarine was a great success. It didn't only help exposing oceanography/earth sciences to E&amp;I, but it was a great turn out regarding collaboration of cross faculty students. Students from oceanography, engineering, arts, phycology, commerce and management formed teams and brought different mindsets to marine problems and came with ideas on how to solve them.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Start the Dalhousie Hackathon Series (DHS), a series of monthly held hackathons created by partnering with different organizations and faculties to ensure collaboration. ==<br /> <br /> As mentioned above, the hackathons will be a great way to get all students involved in different fields and to start to get them innovating. The hackathons will have different themes, but they will all be open to all students so everyone is welcome to join and learn about the different topics. We believe this will be a great way to attract students from all around dalhousie and get them together working on great ideas. Having traditional hackathons is great, but adding different topics and inviting the general student body will ensure high attendance numbers and excitement for everyone.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.3: Make Hackathons inviting for any student all over the four campuses of Dalhousie University. ==<br /> <br /> We decided to call all the students around all four campuses into action! Sending out emails, hanging posters on the walls, creating social media invitations etc. We are dedicated to grab the attention of students in different faculties. We want to show students that E&amp;I isn't only for engineering and business students.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #7 - Creating a class-exchance system =<br /> <br /> In order to enchance the interaction between students across faculties, we aim to lauch such exchange system where they can take the classes with students from other faculties in a monthlly basis. The way how it works is that some specific classes from each faculty would offer up to 10 students per month, to voluntarily take a part in the class. The potential outcomes of this system would let students walk into the shoes of others in terms of academic lives of one to another. In addition to that, they can connect and get to know students from variety of faculty for a greater ability to form a diverse team once they decide to take their innovative ideas and start working on it as entrepreneurs.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Get in touch with stakeholders to ensure the success of exchange system ==<br /> <br /> Class exchange initiative deeply relies on the collaborative support and dedication of various stakeholders on campus. To ensure that the initiative will be successfull, the idea should be clearly delivered to the deans and professors. In this regard, we plan to have meetings to receive their feedback on the class exchange system. We believe this would lead for a better continuation by having the prior aggrement and commitment of affiliated stakeholders.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> = Related Links =<br /> <br /> [[Dalhousie University]]<br /> <br /> Fall 2017:<br /> <br /> [[Aristides Milios]]<br /> <br /> [[Canberk Bal]]<br /> <br /> Spring 2016:<br /> <br /> [[Yaser Alkayale|Yaser Alkayale]]<br /> <br /> [[Séline Dogan|Séline Dogan]]<br /> <br /> Fall 2015:<br /> <br /> [[Justin Javorek|Justin Javorek]]<br /> <br /> [[Dhruv Bhatia|Dhruv Bhatia]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Student Priorities|d]]&lt;br/&gt;[[Category:StudentContributors|S]]</div>

That way, students will take the society seriously and keep it going to achieve its goal of spreading innovation and entrepreneurship around campus.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Recruit students in their first and second year to ensure sustainable future for D.E.S. ==<br /> <br /> By getting students involved in the Entrepreneurship Society we can ensure a sustainable future for the society. Society will keep growing as years go by and students will have time to become familiar with E&amp;I before their graduation, which ultimately will increase the chances of more E&amp;I student achievements at Dalhousie.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.3: Raise awareness with series of student-driven events, meetups and competitions. ==<br /> <br /> In addition, we are currently in the process of creating new By-Laws and a more comprehensive Constitution to enable us fully establish ourselves as the leading student-led organization promoting Entrepreneurship and Innovation on Campus and help us seek further funding opportunities.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #3 - &quot;Collider&quot; in the Library&amp;nbsp; =<br /> <br /> The Collider is a multipurpose space in Killam Library for the collision of serendipitous ideas where from all academic and professional disciplines can come together to develop ideas and and create the future generation of innovators. The Collider connect students, local startups, mentors, investors and allows them to work together to help further grow the local startup ecosystem. Killam Library is the least-siloed space on the campus and place where people come together. It is in our best interest to help push this initiative to its full potential.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Series of Hackathons, Events &amp; Conferences ==<br /> <br /> The Collider would serve a great venue for a series of student-led hackathons, events &amp; conferences. The university does not currently host any regular hackathons for students, and that is something that needs to be changed. Our idea is to host a monthly hackathon with a different theme each month. One month it can be for ocean science and ocean projects, while another month it can be a computer science hackathon and possibly a medical science hackathon. These hackathons will serve as a great place for students who have ideas in each of these disciples to come together and work on them.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> Events and coferences are in our long term plan, but we definitely plan on hosting at least one big event a year to showcase the amazing students who have come up with innovative ideas for each year.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #4 - Co-curricular Record (Design Thinking &amp; Lean Methodology) =<br /> <br /> We proposing to have Design Thinking &amp; Lean Methodology offered as official co-curricular record to motivate students to get introduced to the entrepreneurial mindset. This would serve as an ideal channel to non-invasively encourage students to get involved with entrepreneurship on the campus.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Register all the Entrepreneurship and Innovation related events, contests, competitions, workshops etc. on co-curricular database. ==<br /> <br /> We have a great co-curricular record program at Dalhousie Unversity and we would like to leverage that to attract more students into our events and workshops. It is very important that students get recognized for the work that they have done, and showing them that the activities that they do with us will be officially recorded on their transcript is just an extra incenstive to attracting them into our programs.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Enable students to enter their volunteer, participant, mentor, speaker, winner positions within E&amp;I on their co-curricular record which later will benefit their resume. ==<br /> <br /> By allowing students to specify their roles for the specified events, workshops, contests, projects etc. in the co-curricular record will build the desire of wanting to engage more and be a part of something. This way students can have an attachment to the event, workshop etc. they took a part in.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #5 – Promote the use of The Collider =<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Hosting regular workshops in order to get students more informed and engaged about E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> As part of our initiative to get more students involved from all faculties, we will be hosting regular events and workshops for students to gain all the skills they need to run a startup. These workshops have to be regular so students get to know the schedule and come as they have available time. The workshops will be hosted by guest speakers and facilitated by volunteers. The topics we wish to cover include coding for beginners, design, making effective phone calls, and much more.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no. 2: Build a design thinking corner in the collider space ==<br /> <br /> We would like to enable students to use physical office/home supplies to create their prototypes right in the collider during the workshops, events, or contests. This will allow students to create a physical prototype and get one step closer to the final product.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #6 – Hold More Student-Lead Hackathons on a Regular Basis =<br /> <br /> We want to challenge the idea that hackathons are only tech-related. In order to get students from all backgrounds and faculties involved, we have to host hackathons for different disciplines like a hackathon for computer science, one for health sciences and another for ocean science. Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society held the first student-led hackathon for Oceanography and Marine programs Hackamarine 2015. Hackamarine is going to be an annual event held at Dalhousie University, a school well known for its world-class Marine &amp; Oceanography programs. This is a cross-faculty event aiming to bring talent from various fields to work on major problems in Oceans &amp; Marine Sciences. The winning teams took home a cumulative total of $5,000 in prizes.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Keep Hackamarine running annually to get more oceanography/earth sciences students engaged in E&amp;I. ==<br /> <br /> First Hackamarine was a great success. It didn't only help exposing oceanography/earth sciences to E&amp;I, but it was a great turn out regarding collaboration of cross faculty students. Students from oceanography, engineering, arts, phycology, commerce and management formed teams and brought different mindsets to marine problems and came with ideas on how to solve them.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Start the Dalhousie Hackathon Series (DHS), a series of monthly held hackathons created by partnering with different organizations and faculties to ensure collaboration. ==<br /> <br /> As mentioned above, the hackathons will be a great way to get all students involved in different fields and to start to get them innovating. The hackathons will have different themes, but they will all be open to all students so everyone is welcome to join and learn about the different topics. We believe this will be a great way to attract students from all around dalhousie and get them together working on great ideas. Having traditional hackathons is great, but adding different topics and inviting the general student body will ensure high attendance numbers and excitement for everyone.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.3: Make Hackathons inviting for any student all over the four campuses of Dalhousie University. ==<br /> <br /> We decided to call all the students around all four campuses into action! Sending out emails, hanging posters on the walls, creating social media invitations etc. We are dedicated to grab the attention of students in different faculties. We want to show students that E&amp;I isn't only for engineering and business students.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #7 - Creating a class-exchance system =<br /> <br /> In order to enchance the interaction between students across faculties, we aim to lauch such exchange system where they can take the classes with students from other faculties in a monthlly basis. The way how it works is that some specific classes from each faculty would offer up to 10 students per month, to voluntarily take a part in the class. The potential outcomes of this system would let students walk into the shoes of others in terms of academic lives of one to another. In addition to that, they can connect and get to know students from variety of faculty for a greater ability to form a diverse team once they decide to take their innovative ideas and start working on it as entrepreneurs.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Get in touch with stakeholders to ensure the success of exchange system ==<br /> <br /> Class exchange initiative deeply relies on the collaborative support and dedication of various stakeholders on campus. To ensure that the initiative will be successfull, the idea should be clearly delivered to the deans and professors. In this regard, we plan to have meetings to receive their feedback on the class exchange system. We believe this would lead for a better continuation by having the prior aggrement and commitment of affiliated stakeholders.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> = Related Links =<br /> <br /> [[Dalhousie University]]<br /> <br /> [[Dalhousie University Student Priorities]]<br /> <br /> [[University Innovation Fellows]]<br /> <br /> Fall 2017:<br /> <br /> [[Aristides Milios]]<br /> <br /> [[Canberk Bal]]<br /> <br /> Spring 2016:<br /> <br /> [[Yaser Alkayale|Yaser Alkayale]]<br /> <br /> [[Séline Dogan|Séline Dogan]]<br /> <br /> Fall 2015:<br /> <br /> [[Justin Javorek|Justin Javorek]]<br /> <br /> [[Dhruv Bhatia|Dhruv Bhatia]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Student Priorities|d]]&lt;br/&gt;[[Category:StudentContributors|S]]</div>

<p>Canberkbal: </p> <hr /> <div>= Fellow Project Pitches =<br /> <br /> == Fellow Projects Pitch - 2016 ==<br /> <br /> {{#Widget:Youtube|id=TVR_IMkCNZ0}}<br /> <br /> (Prepared by Yaser Alkayale and Seline Dogan)<br /> <br /> == Fellow Project Pitch - 2015 ==<br /> <br /> {{#Widget:Youtube|id=FFWpEvOJMv0}}<br /> <br /> (Prepared by Justin Javorek and Dhruv Bhatia)<br /> <br /> = OVERVIEW =<br /> <br /> Dalhousie University is located in the heart of Halifax in Nova Scotia, Canada. Local startup ecosystem in Halifax is still at its growing stage. There have been several champions working on developing the ecosystem, but only very recently has the government started to put more pressure on universities to promote entrepreneurship and facilitate deeper connection with the local startup community. Based on this initiative there was a group of political, academic and business leaders formed called oneNS Coalition. The mandate of oneNS Coalition is to instill further growth in the region and a 10 year plan for economic development and sustainability. One of the major topics is entrepreneurship and innovation.<br /> <br /> Going through the training to become University Innovation Fellow, we had a great opportunity to get out of the building and talk to large amount of students and faculty member from across the campus and map out our campus landscape and recognize some of the major shortcomings that need to be addressed. One of our findings was that students are not very aware of the resources and possiblities the E&amp;I community can offer them at Dalhousie and Halifax. Although, some students are aware of some societies, events and spaces that are offered to them, majority of the students are in the mindset that the resources are mostly for business students at Dalhousie. This creates a lack of cross-faculty interaction under E&amp;I.<br /> <br /> The Sexton Engineering Campus at Dalhousie University is physically isolated from the main campus, Studley. This hinders the opportunity for full collaboration within the main campus. We believe that cross-faculty collaboration is essential for further growth of our startup ecosystem. A great example of this is a company called Spring Loaded, where three students from various faculties met in the Starting Lean Course, came up with an idea for a new generation of knee braces and rose over $1.8 million in seed financing to date. In addition to that, Dalhousie university is commited to make engineering campus for the upcoming $64M Innovation hub, IDEA project.<br /> <br /> Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society (D.E.S.) has done tremendous work in the short amount of time they have had since the society was created. Most of the activities and events that we will host will be under D.E.S. because it will give us the platform and power to be in touch with students who have shown some interest in E&amp;I. The D.E.S. will be our main hub that will allow us to get funding and reach the maximum number of students, stakeholder and investors. Our main goal this year is to get increased involvement from students, and for that, we need some funding to be able to bring value to them where they will have the incentive to join our society and take part in our activities.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #1 - Connecting Engineering Students with the rest of the campus =<br /> <br /> We are very pleased with the initiative from the university and the province to create the Innovation Hub (IDEA Building) which is a multipurpose building on Sexton Campus. As University Fellow candidates, we fully support this initiative and are willing to help to further promote it as well as help with information interviews, planning and further ideation on its programs and events.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Engineering Connect (E-Connect) ==<br /> <br /> Create a student-led club on the main campus that will promote our main makerspace on Sexton Campus. This space would serve as place where students can get in initial contact with 3D Printing, Electronics, Raspberry Pi’s and more. This would create a funnel of students on main campus for Innovation Hub on Sexton Campus.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #2 - Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society (D.E.S.) =<br /> <br /> A student-centric organization on campus that aims to build an inclusive innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem on the Dalhousie University campus from within by exposing students in all faculties to resources and funding opportunities, organizing hackathons, startup weekends, conferences and connecting them with the local startup community. D.E.S serves as a vehicle to deliver our strategic student priorities and initiatives.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Build a framework which we can pass along for next generation of student entrepreneurs. ==<br /> <br /> We are building a structure for our society so the new executives for the years to come can have a base to rely on. It is important for us not to just start a society but to also keep it alive and pass it on to other new executives who can take our roles and keep growing it as time goes by. This will be done through getting a ot of people involved with our events and setting guidlines and goals for us to achieve within a timeline. That way, students will take the society seriously and keep it going to achieve its goal of spreading innovation and entrepreneurship around campus.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Recruit students in their first and second year to ensure sustainable future for D.E.S. ==<br /> <br /> By getting students involved in the Entrepreneurship Society we can ensure a sustainable future for the society. Society will keep growing as years go by and students will have time to become familiar with E&amp;I before their graduation, which ultimately will increase the chances of more E&amp;I student achievements at Dalhousie.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.3: Raise awareness with series of student-driven events, meetups and competitions. ==<br /> <br /> In addition, we are currently in the process of creating new By-Laws and a more comprehensive Constitution to enable us fully establish ourselves as the leading student-led organization promoting Entrepreneurship and Innovation on Campus and help us seek further funding opportunities.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #3 - &quot;Collider&quot; in the Library&amp;nbsp; =<br /> <br /> The Collider is a multipurpose space in Killam Library for the collision of serendipitous ideas where from all academic and professional disciplines can come together to develop ideas and and create the future generation of innovators. The Collider connect students, local startups, mentors, investors and allows them to work together to help further grow the local startup ecosystem. Killam Library is the least-siloed space on the campus and place where people come together. It is in our best interest to help push this initiative to its full potential.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Series of Hackathons, Events &amp; Conferences ==<br /> <br /> The Collider would serve a great venue for a series of student-led hackathons, events &amp; conferences.

Hackamarine is going to be an annual event held at Dalhousie University, a school well known for its world-class Marine &amp; Oceanography programs. This is a cross-faculty event aiming to bring talent from various fields to work on major problems in Oceans &amp; Marine Sciences. The winning teams took home a cumulative total of $5,000 in prizes.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Keep Hackamarine running annually to get more oceanography/earth sciences students engaged in E&amp;I. ==<br /> <br /> First Hackamarine was a great success. It didn't only help exposing oceanography/earth sciences to E&amp;I, but it was a great turn out regarding collaboration of cross faculty students. Students from oceanography, engineering, arts, phycology, commerce and management formed teams and brought different mindsets to marine problems and came with ideas on how to solve them.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Start the Dalhousie Hackathon Series (DHS), a series of monthly held hackathons created by partnering with different organizations and faculties to ensure collaboration. ==<br /> <br /> As mentioned above, the hackathons will be a great way to get all students involved in different fields and to start to get them innovating. The hackathons will have different themes, but they will all be open to all students so everyone is welcome to join and learn about the different topics. We believe this will be a great way to attract students from all around dalhousie and get them together working on great ideas. Having traditional hackathons is great, but adding different topics and inviting the general student body will ensure high attendance numbers and excitement for everyone.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.3: Make Hackathons inviting for any student all over the four campuses of Dalhousie University. ==<br /> <br /> We decided to call all the students around all four campuses into action! Sending out emails, hanging posters on the walls, creating social media invitations etc. We are dedicated to grab the attention of students in different faculties. We want to show students that E&amp;I isn't only for engineering and business students.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #7 - Creating a class-exchance system =<br /> <br /> In order to enchance the interaction between students across faculties, we aim to lauch such exchange system where they can take the classes with students from other faculties in a monthlly basis. The way how it works is that some specific classes from each faculty would offer up to 10 students per month, to voluntarily take a part in the class. The potential outcomes of this system would let students walk into the shoes of others in terms of academic lives of one to another. In addition to that, they can connect and get to know students from variety of faculty for a greater ability to form a diverse team once they decide to take their innovative ideas and start working on it as entrepreneurs.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Get in touch with stakeholders to ensure the success of exchange system ==<br /> <br /> Class exchange initiative deeply relies on the collaborative support and dedication of various stakeholders on campus. To ensure that the initiative will be successfull, the idea should be clearly delivered to the deans and professors. In this regard, we plan to have meetings to receive their feedback on the class exchange system. We believe this would lead for a better continuation by having the prior aggrement and commitment of affiliated stakeholders.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> = Related Links =<br /> <br /> [[Dalhousie University]]<br /> <br /> [[Dalhousie University - Student Priorities ]]<br /> <br /> [[University Innovation Fellows]]<br /> <br /> Fall 2017:<br /> <br /> [[Aristides Milios]]<br /> <br /> [[Canberk Bal]]<br /> <br /> Spring 2016:<br /> <br /> [[Yaser Alkayale|Yaser Alkayale]]<br /> <br /> [[Séline Dogan|Séline Dogan]]<br /> <br /> Fall 2015:<br /> <br /> [[Justin Javorek|Justin Javorek]]<br /> <br /> [[Dhruv Bhatia|Dhruv Bhatia]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Student Priorities|d]]&lt;br/&gt;[[Category:StudentContributors|S]]</div>

<p>Canberkbal: </p> <hr /> <div>= Fellow Project Pitches =<br /> <br /> == Fellow Projects Pitch - 2016 ==<br /> <br /> {{#Widget:Youtube|id=TVR_IMkCNZ0}}<br /> <br /> (Prepared by Yaser Alkayale and Seline Dogan)<br /> <br /> == Fellow Project Pitch - 2015 ==<br /> <br /> {{#Widget:Youtube|id=FFWpEvOJMv0}}<br /> <br /> (Prepared by Justin Javorek and Dhruv Bhatia)<br /> <br /> = OVERVIEW =<br /> <br /> Dalhousie University is located in the heart of Halifax in Nova Scotia, Canada. Local startup ecosystem in Halifax is still at its growing stage. There have been several champions working on developing the ecosystem, but only very recently has the government started to put more pressure on universities to promote entrepreneurship and facilitate deeper connection with the local startup community. Based on this initiative there was a group of political, academic and business leaders formed called oneNS Coalition. The mandate of oneNS Coalition is to instill further growth in the region and a 10 year plan for economic development and sustainability. One of the major topics is entrepreneurship and innovation.<br /> <br /> Going through the training to become University Innovation Fellow, we had a great opportunity to get out of the building and talk to large amount of students and faculty member from across the campus and map out our campus landscape and recognize some of the major shortcomings that need to be addressed. One of our findings was that students are not very aware of the resources and possiblities the E&amp;I community can offer them at Dalhousie and Halifax. Although, some students are aware of some societies, events and spaces that are offered to them, majority of the students are in the mindset that the resources are mostly for business students at Dalhousie. This creates a lack of cross-faculty interaction under E&amp;I.<br /> <br /> The Sexton Engineering Campus at Dalhousie University is physically isolated from the main campus, Studley. This hinders the opportunity for full collaboration within the main campus. We believe that cross-faculty collaboration is essential for further growth of our startup ecosystem. A great example of this is a company called Spring Loaded, where three students from various faculties met in the Starting Lean Course, came up with an idea for a new generation of knee braces and rose over $1.8 million in seed financing to date. In addition to that, Dalhousie university is commited to make engineering campus for the upcoming $64M Innovation hub, IDEA project.<br /> <br /> Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society (D.E.S.) has done tremendous work in the short amount of time they have had since the society was created. Most of the activities and events that we will host will be under D.E.S. because it will give us the platform and power to be in touch with students who have shown some interest in E&amp;I. The D.E.S. will be our main hub that will allow us to get funding and reach the maximum number of students, stakeholder and investors. Our main goal this year is to get increased involvement from students, and for that, we need some funding to be able to bring value to them where they will have the incentive to join our society and take part in our activities.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #1 - Connecting Engineering Students with the rest of the campus =<br /> <br /> We are very pleased with the initiative from the university and the province to create the Innovation Hub (IDEA Building) which is a multipurpose building on Sexton Campus. As University Fellow candidates, we fully support this initiative and are willing to help to further promote it as well as help with information interviews, planning and further ideation on its programs and events.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Engineering Connect (E-Connect) ==<br /> <br /> Create a student-led club on the main campus that will promote our main makerspace on Sexton Campus. This space would serve as place where students can get in initial contact with 3D Printing, Electronics, Raspberry Pi’s and more. This would create a funnel of students on main campus for Innovation Hub on Sexton Campus.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #2 - Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society (D.E.S.) =<br /> <br /> A student-centric organization on campus that aims to build an inclusive innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem on the Dalhousie University campus from within by exposing students in all faculties to resources and funding opportunities, organizing hackathons, startup weekends, conferences and connecting them with the local startup community. D.E.S serves as a vehicle to deliver our strategic student priorities and initiatives.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Build a framework which we can pass along for next generation of student entrepreneurs. ==<br /> <br /> We are building a structure for our society so the new executives for the years to come can have a base to rely on. It is important for us not to just start a society but to also keep it alive and pass it on to other new executives who can take our roles and keep growing it as time goes by. This will be done through getting a ot of people involved with our events and setting guidlines and goals for us to achieve within a timeline. That way, students will take the society seriously and keep it going to achieve its goal of spreading innovation and entrepreneurship around campus.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Recruit students in their first and second year to ensure sustainable future for D.E.S. ==<br /> <br /> By getting students involved in the Entrepreneurship Society we can ensure a sustainable future for the society. Society will keep growing as years go by and students will have time to become familiar with E&amp;I before their graduation, which ultimately will increase the chances of more E&amp;I student achievements at Dalhousie.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.3: Raise awareness with series of student-driven events, meetups and competitions. ==<br /> <br /> In addition, we are currently in the process of creating new By-Laws and a more comprehensive Constitution to enable us fully establish ourselves as the leading student-led organization promoting Entrepreneurship and Innovation on Campus and help us seek further funding opportunities.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #3 - &quot;Collider&quot; in the Library&amp;nbsp; =<br /> <br /> The Collider is a multipurpose space in Killam Library for the collision of serendipitous ideas where from all academic and professional disciplines can come together to develop ideas and and create the future generation of innovators. The Collider connect students, local startups, mentors, investors and allows them to work together to help further grow the local startup ecosystem. Killam Library is the least-siloed space on the campus and place where people come together. It is in our best interest to help push this initiative to its full potential.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Series of Hackathons, Events &amp; Conferences ==<br /> <br /> The Collider would serve a great venue for a series of student-led hackathons, events &amp; conferences. The university does not currently host any regular hackathons for students, and that is something that needs to be changed. Our idea is to host a monthly hackathon with a different theme each month. One month it can be for ocean science and ocean projects, while another month it can be a computer science hackathon and possibly a medical science hackathon. These hackathons will serve as a great place for students who have ideas in each of these disciples to come together and work on them.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> Events and coferences are in our long term plan, but we definitely plan on hosting at least one big event a year to showcase the amazing students who have come up with innovative ideas for each year.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #4 - Co-curricular Record (Design Thinking &amp; Lean Methodology) =<br /> <br /> We proposing to have Design Thinking &amp; Lean Methodology offered as official co-curricular record to motivate students to get introduced to the entrepreneurial mindset. This would serve as an ideal channel to non-invasively encourage students to get involved with entrepreneurship on the campus.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Register all the Entrepreneurship and Innovation related events, contests, competitions, workshops etc. on co-curricular database. ==<br /> <br /> We have a great co-curricular record program at Dalhousie Unversity and we would like to leverage that to attract more students into our events and workshops. It is very important that students get recognized for the work that they have done, and showing them that the activities that they do with us will be officially recorded on their transcript is just an extra incenstive to attracting them into our programs.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Enable students to enter their volunteer, participant, mentor, speaker, winner positions within E&amp;I on their co-curricular record which later will benefit their resume. ==<br /> <br /> By allowing students to specify their roles for the specified events, workshops, contests, projects etc. in the co-curricular record will build the desire of wanting to engage more and be a part of something. This way students can have an attachment to the event, workshop etc. they took a part in.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #5 – Promote the use of The Collider =<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Hosting regular workshops in order to get students more informed and engaged about E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> As part of our initiative to get more students involved from all faculties, we will be hosting regular events and workshops for students to gain all the skills they need to run a startup. These workshops have to be regular so students get to know the schedule and come as they have available time. The workshops will be hosted by guest speakers and facilitated by volunteers. The topics we wish to cover include coding for beginners, design, making effective phone calls, and much more.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no. 2: Build a design thinking corner in the collider space ==<br /> <br /> We would like to enable students to use physical office/home supplies to create their prototypes right in the collider during the workshops, events, or contests. This will allow students to create a physical prototype and get one step closer to the final product.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #6 – Hold More Student-Lead Hackathons on a Regular Basis =<br /> <br /> We want to challenge the idea that hackathons are only tech-related. In order to get students from all backgrounds and faculties involved, we have to host hackathons for different disciplines like a hackathon for computer science, one for health sciences and another for ocean science. Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society held the first student-led hackathon for Oceanography and Marine programs Hackamarine 2015. Hackamarine is going to be an annual event held at Dalhousie University, a school well known for its world-class Marine &amp; Oceanography programs. This is a cross-faculty event aiming to bring talent from various fields to work on major problems in Oceans &amp; Marine Sciences. The winning teams took home a cumulative total of $5,000 in prizes.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Keep Hackamarine running annually to get more oceanography/earth sciences students engaged in E&amp;I. ==<br /> <br /> First Hackamarine was a great success. It didn't only help exposing oceanography/earth sciences to E&amp;I, but it was a great turn out regarding collaboration of cross faculty students. Students from oceanography, engineering, arts, phycology, commerce and management formed teams and brought different mindsets to marine problems and came with ideas on how to solve them.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Start the Dalhousie Hackathon Series (DHS), a series of monthly held hackathons created by partnering with different organizations and faculties to ensure collaboration. ==<br /> <br /> As mentioned above, the hackathons will be a great way to get all students involved in different fields and to start to get them innovating.

In this regard, we plan to have meetings to receive their feedback on the class exchange system. We believe this would lead for a better continuation by having the prior aggrement and commitment of affiliated stakeholders.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> = Related Links =<br /> <br /> [[Dalhousie University]]<br /> <br /> '''&amp;nbsp;Dalhousie University - Student Priorities&amp;nbsp;'''<br /> <br /> [[ University Innovation Fellows ]]<br /> <br /> Fall 2017:<br /> <br /> [[Aristides Milios]]<br /> <br /> [[Canberk Bal]]<br /> <br /> Spring 2016:<br /> <br /> [[Yaser Alkayale|Yaser Alkayale]]<br /> <br /> [[Séline Dogan|Séline Dogan]]<br /> <br /> Fall 2015:<br /> <br /> [[Justin Javorek|Justin Javorek]]<br /> <br /> [[Dhruv Bhatia|Dhruv Bhatia]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Student Priorities|d]]&lt;br/&gt;[[Category:StudentContributors|S]]</div>

Local startup ecosystem in Halifax is still at its growing stage. There have been several champions working on developing the ecosystem, but only very recently has the government started to put more pressure on universities to promote entrepreneurship and facilitate deeper connection with the local startup community. Based on this initiative there was a group of political, academic and business leaders formed called oneNS Coalition. The mandate of oneNS Coalition is to instill further growth in the region and a 10 year plan for economic development and sustainability. One of the major topics is entrepreneurship and innovation.<br /> <br /> Going through the training to become University Innovation Fellow, we had a great opportunity to get out of the building and talk to large amount of students and faculty member from across the campus and map out our campus landscape and recognize some of the major shortcomings that need to be addressed. One of our findings was that students are not very aware of the resources and possiblities the E&amp;I community can offer them at Dalhousie and Halifax. Although, some students are aware of some societies, events and spaces that are offered to them, majority of the students are in the mindset that the resources are mostly for business students at Dalhousie. This creates a lack of cross-faculty interaction under E&amp;I.<br /> <br /> The Sexton Engineering Campus at Dalhousie University is physically isolated from the main campus, Studley. This hinders the opportunity for full collaboration within the main campus. We believe that cross-faculty collaboration is essential for further growth of our startup ecosystem. A great example of this is a company called Spring Loaded, where three students from various faculties met in the Starting Lean Course, came up with an idea for a new generation of knee braces and rose over $1.8 million in seed financing to date. In addition to that, Dalhousie university is commited to make engineering campus for the upcoming $64M Innovation hub, IDEA project.<br /> <br /> Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society (D.E.S.) has done tremendous work in the short amount of time they have had since the society was created. Most of the activities and events that we will host will be under D.E.S. because it will give us the platform and power to be in touch with students who have shown some interest in E&amp;I. The D.E.S. will be our main hub that will allow us to get funding and reach the maximum number of students, stakeholder and investors. Our main goal this year is to get increased involvement from students, and for that, we need some funding to be able to bring value to them where they will have the incentive to join our society and take part in our activities.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #1 - Connecting Engineering Students with the rest of the campus =<br /> <br /> We are very pleased with the initiative from the university and the province to create the Innovation Hub (IDEA Building) which is a multipurpose building on Sexton Campus. As University Fellow candidates, we fully support this initiative and are willing to help to further promote it as well as help with information interviews, planning and further ideation on its programs and events.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Engineering Connect (E-Connect) ==<br /> <br /> Create a student-led club on the main campus that will promote our main makerspace on Sexton Campus. This space would serve as place where students can get in initial contact with 3D Printing, Electronics, Raspberry Pi’s and more. This would create a funnel of students on main campus for Innovation Hub on Sexton Campus.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #2 - Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society (D.E.S.) =<br /> <br /> A student-centric organization on campus that aims to build an inclusive innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem on the Dalhousie University campus from within by exposing students in all faculties to resources and funding opportunities, organizing hackathons, startup weekends, conferences and connecting them with the local startup community. D.E.S serves as a vehicle to deliver our strategic student priorities and initiatives.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Build a framework which we can pass along for next generation of student entrepreneurs. ==<br /> <br /> We are building a structure for our society so the new executives for the years to come can have a base to rely on. It is important for us not to just start a society but to also keep it alive and pass it on to other new executives who can take our roles and keep growing it as time goes by. This will be done through getting a ot of people involved with our events and setting guidlines and goals for us to achieve within a timeline. That way, students will take the society seriously and keep it going to achieve its goal of spreading innovation and entrepreneurship around campus.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Recruit students in their first and second year to ensure sustainable future for D.E.S. ==<br /> <br /> By getting students involved in the Entrepreneurship Society we can ensure a sustainable future for the society. Society will keep growing as years go by and students will have time to become familiar with E&amp;I before their graduation, which ultimately will increase the chances of more E&amp;I student achievements at Dalhousie.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.3: Raise awareness with series of student-driven events, meetups and competitions. ==<br /> <br /> In addition, we are currently in the process of creating new By-Laws and a more comprehensive Constitution to enable us fully establish ourselves as the leading student-led organization promoting Entrepreneurship and Innovation on Campus and help us seek further funding opportunities.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #3 - &quot;Collider&quot; in the Library&amp;nbsp; =<br /> <br /> The Collider is a multipurpose space in Killam Library for the collision of serendipitous ideas where from all academic and professional disciplines can come together to develop ideas and and create the future generation of innovators. The Collider connect students, local startups, mentors, investors and allows them to work together to help further grow the local startup ecosystem. Killam Library is the least-siloed space on the campus and place where people come together. It is in our best interest to help push this initiative to its full potential.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Series of Hackathons, Events &amp; Conferences ==<br /> <br /> The Collider would serve a great venue for a series of student-led hackathons, events &amp; conferences. The university does not currently host any regular hackathons for students, and that is something that needs to be changed. Our idea is to host a monthly hackathon with a different theme each month. One month it can be for ocean science and ocean projects, while another month it can be a computer science hackathon and possibly a medical science hackathon. These hackathons will serve as a great place for students who have ideas in each of these disciples to come together and work on them.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> Events and coferences are in our long term plan, but we definitely plan on hosting at least one big event a year to showcase the amazing students who have come up with innovative ideas for each year.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #4 - Co-curricular Record (Design Thinking &amp; Lean Methodology) =<br /> <br /> We proposing to have Design Thinking &amp; Lean Methodology offered as official co-curricular record to motivate students to get introduced to the entrepreneurial mindset. This would serve as an ideal channel to non-invasively encourage students to get involved with entrepreneurship on the campus.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Register all the Entrepreneurship and Innovation related events, contests, competitions, workshops etc. on co-curricular database. ==<br /> <br /> We have a great co-curricular record program at Dalhousie Unversity and we would like to leverage that to attract more students into our events and workshops. It is very important that students get recognized for the work that they have done, and showing them that the activities that they do with us will be officially recorded on their transcript is just an extra incenstive to attracting them into our programs.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Enable students to enter their volunteer, participant, mentor, speaker, winner positions within E&amp;I on their co-curricular record which later will benefit their resume. ==<br /> <br /> By allowing students to specify their roles for the specified events, workshops, contests, projects etc. in the co-curricular record will build the desire of wanting to engage more and be a part of something. This way students can have an attachment to the event, workshop etc. they took a part in.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #5 – Promote the use of The Collider =<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Hosting regular workshops in order to get students more informed and engaged about E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> As part of our initiative to get more students involved from all faculties, we will be hosting regular events and workshops for students to gain all the skills they need to run a startup. These workshops have to be regular so students get to know the schedule and come as they have available time. The workshops will be hosted by guest speakers and facilitated by volunteers. The topics we wish to cover include coding for beginners, design, making effective phone calls, and much more.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no. 2: Build a design thinking corner in the collider space ==<br /> <br /> We would like to enable students to use physical office/home supplies to create their prototypes right in the collider during the workshops, events, or contests. This will allow students to create a physical prototype and get one step closer to the final product.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #6 – Hold More Student-Lead Hackathons on a Regular Basis =<br /> <br /> We want to challenge the idea that hackathons are only tech-related. In order to get students from all backgrounds and faculties involved, we have to host hackathons for different disciplines like a hackathon for computer science, one for health sciences and another for ocean science. Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society held the first student-led hackathon for Oceanography and Marine programs Hackamarine 2015. Hackamarine is going to be an annual event held at Dalhousie University, a school well known for its world-class Marine &amp; Oceanography programs. This is a cross-faculty event aiming to bring talent from various fields to work on major problems in Oceans &amp; Marine Sciences. The winning teams took home a cumulative total of $5,000 in prizes.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Keep Hackamarine running annually to get more oceanography/earth sciences students engaged in E&amp;I. ==<br /> <br /> First Hackamarine was a great success. It didn't only help exposing oceanography/earth sciences to E&amp;I, but it was a great turn out regarding collaboration of cross faculty students. Students from oceanography, engineering, arts, phycology, commerce and management formed teams and brought different mindsets to marine problems and came with ideas on how to solve them.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Start the Dalhousie Hackathon Series (DHS), a series of monthly held hackathons created by partnering with different organizations and faculties to ensure collaboration. ==<br /> <br /> As mentioned above, the hackathons will be a great way to get all students involved in different fields and to start to get them innovating. The hackathons will have different themes, but they will all be open to all students so everyone is welcome to join and learn about the different topics. We believe this will be a great way to attract students from all around dalhousie and get them together working on great ideas. Having traditional hackathons is great, but adding different topics and inviting the general student body will ensure high attendance numbers and excitement for everyone.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.3: Make Hackathons inviting for any student all over the four campuses of Dalhousie University. ==<br /> <br /> We decided to call all the students around all four campuses into action! Sending out emails, hanging posters on the walls, creating social media invitations etc. We are dedicated to grab the attention of students in different faculties. We want to show students that E&amp;I isn't only for engineering and business students.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #7 - Creating a class-exchance system =<br /> <br /> In order to enchance the interaction between students across faculties, we aim to lauch such exchange system where they can take the classes with students from other faculties in a monthlly basis. The way how it works is that some specific classes from each faculty would offer up to 10 students per month, to voluntarily take a part in the class. The potential outcomes of this system would let students walk into the shoes of others in terms of academic lives of one to another. In addition to that, they can connect and get to know students from variety of faculty for a greater ability to form a diverse team once they decide to take their innovative ideas and start working on it as entrepreneurs.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Get in touch with stakeholders to ensure the success of exchange system ==<br /> <br /> Class exchange initiative deeply relies on the collaborative support and dedication of various stakeholders on campus. To ensure that the initiative will be successfull, the idea should be clearly delivered to the deans and professors. In this regard, we plan to have meetings to receive their feedback on the class exchange system. We believe this would lead for a better continuation by having the prior aggrement and commitment of affiliated stakeholders.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> = Related Links =<br /> <br /> [[Dalhousie University]]<br /> <br /> '''[] Dalhousie Student Priorities []'''<br /> University Innovation Fellows&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> Fall 2017:<br /> <br /> [[Aristides Milios]]<br /> <br /> [[Canberk Bal]]<br /> <br /> Spring 2016:<br /> <br /> [[Yaser Alkayale|Yaser Alkayale]]<br /> <br /> [[Séline Dogan|Séline Dogan]]<br /> <br /> Fall 2015:<br /> <br /> [[Justin Javorek|Justin Javorek]]<br /> <br /> [[Dhruv Bhatia|Dhruv Bhatia]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Student Priorities|d]]&lt;br/&gt;[[Category:StudentContributors|S]]</div>

That way, students will take the society seriously and keep it going to achieve its goal of spreading innovation and entrepreneurship around campus.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Recruit students in their first and second year to ensure sustainable future for D.E.S. ==<br /> <br /> By getting students involved in the Entrepreneurship Society we can ensure a sustainable future for the society. Society will keep growing as years go by and students will have time to become familiar with E&amp;I before their graduation, which ultimately will increase the chances of more E&amp;I student achievements at Dalhousie.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.3: Raise awareness with series of student-driven events, meetups and competitions. ==<br /> <br /> In addition, we are currently in the process of creating new By-Laws and a more comprehensive Constitution to enable us fully establish ourselves as the leading student-led organization promoting Entrepreneurship and Innovation on Campus and help us seek further funding opportunities.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #3 - &quot;Collider&quot; in the Library&amp;nbsp; =<br /> <br /> The Collider is a multipurpose space in Killam Library for the collision of serendipitous ideas where from all academic and professional disciplines can come together to develop ideas and and create the future generation of innovators. The Collider connect students, local startups, mentors, investors and allows them to work together to help further grow the local startup ecosystem. Killam Library is the least-siloed space on the campus and place where people come together. It is in our best interest to help push this initiative to its full potential.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Series of Hackathons, Events &amp; Conferences ==<br /> <br /> The Collider would serve a great venue for a series of student-led hackathons, events &amp; conferences. The university does not currently host any regular hackathons for students, and that is something that needs to be changed. Our idea is to host a monthly hackathon with a different theme each month. One month it can be for ocean science and ocean projects, while another month it can be a computer science hackathon and possibly a medical science hackathon. These hackathons will serve as a great place for students who have ideas in each of these disciples to come together and work on them.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> Events and coferences are in our long term plan, but we definitely plan on hosting at least one big event a year to showcase the amazing students who have come up with innovative ideas for each year.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #4 - Co-curricular Record (Design Thinking &amp; Lean Methodology) =<br /> <br /> We proposing to have Design Thinking &amp; Lean Methodology offered as official co-curricular record to motivate students to get introduced to the entrepreneurial mindset. This would serve as an ideal channel to non-invasively encourage students to get involved with entrepreneurship on the campus.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Register all the Entrepreneurship and Innovation related events, contests, competitions, workshops etc. on co-curricular database. ==<br /> <br /> We have a great co-curricular record program at Dalhousie Unversity and we would like to leverage that to attract more students into our events and workshops. It is very important that students get recognized for the work that they have done, and showing them that the activities that they do with us will be officially recorded on their transcript is just an extra incenstive to attracting them into our programs.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Enable students to enter their volunteer, participant, mentor, speaker, winner positions within E&amp;I on their co-curricular record which later will benefit their resume. ==<br /> <br /> By allowing students to specify their roles for the specified events, workshops, contests, projects etc. in the co-curricular record will build the desire of wanting to engage more and be a part of something. This way students can have an attachment to the event, workshop etc. they took a part in.<br /> <br /> = &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:larger;&quot;&gt;Strategy #5 – Promote the use of The Collider&lt;/span&gt; =<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Hosting regular workshops in order to get students more informed and engaged about E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> As part of our initiative to get more students involved from all faculties, we will be hosting regular events and workshops for students to gain all the skills they need to run a startup. These workshops have to be regular so students get to know the schedule and come as they have available time. The workshops will be hosted by guest speakers and facilitated by volunteers. The topics we wish to cover include coding for beginners, design, making effective phone calls, and much more.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no. 2: Build a design thinking corner in the collider space ==<br /> <br /> We would like to enable students to use physical office/home supplies to create their prototypes right in the collider during the workshops, events, or contests. This will allow students to create a physical prototype and get one step closer to the final product.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #6 – Hold More Student-Lead Hackathons on a Regular Basis =<br /> <br /> We want to challenge the idea that hackathons are only tech-related. In order to get students from all backgrounds and faculties involved, we have to host hackathons for different disciplines like a hackathon for computer science, one for health sciences and another for ocean science. Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society held the first student-led hackathon for Oceanography and Marine programs Hackamarine 2015. Hackamarine is going to be an annual event held at Dalhousie University, a school well known for its world-class Marine &amp; Oceanography programs. This is a cross-faculty event aiming to bring talent from various fields to work on major problems in Oceans &amp; Marine Sciences. The winning teams took home a cumulative total of $5,000 in prizes.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Keep Hackamarine running annually to get more oceanography/earth sciences students engaged in E&amp;I. ==<br /> <br /> First Hackamarine was a great success. It didn't only help exposing oceanography/earth sciences to E&amp;I, but it was a great turn out regarding collaboration of cross faculty students. Students from oceanography, engineering, arts, phycology, commerce and management formed teams and brought different mindsets to marine problems and came with ideas on how to solve them.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Start the Dalhousie Hackathon Series (DHS), a series of monthly held hackathons created by partnering with different organizations and faculties to ensure collaboration. ==<br /> <br /> As mentioned above, the hackathons will be a great way to get all students involved in different fields and to start to get them innovating. The hackathons will have different themes, but they will all be open to all students so everyone is welcome to join and learn about the different topics. We believe this will be a great way to attract students from all around dalhousie and get them together working on great ideas. Having traditional hackathons is great, but adding different topics and inviting the general student body will ensure high attendance numbers and excitement for everyone.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.3: Make Hackathons inviting for any student all over the four campuses of Dalhousie University. ==<br /> <br /> We decided to call all the students around all four campuses into action! Sending out emails, hanging posters on the walls, creating social media invitations etc. We are dedicated to grab the attention of students in different faculties. We want to show students that E&amp;I isn't only for engineering and business students.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #7 - Creating a class-exchance system =<br /> <br /> In order to enchance the interaction between students across faculties, we aim to lauch such exchange system where they can take the classes with students from other faculties in a monthlly basis. The way how it works is that some specific classes from each faculty would offer up to 10 students per month, to voluntarily take a part in the class. The potential outcomes of this system would let students walk into the shoes of others in terms of academic lives of one to another. In addition to that, they can connect and get to know students from variety of faculty for a greater ability to form a diverse team once they decide to take their innovative ideas and start working on it as entrepreneurs.<br /> <br /> = Related Links =<br /> <br /> [[Dalhousie University]]<br /> <br /> '''Dalhousie Student Priorities'''<br /> <br /> University Innovation Fellows<br /> <br /> Fall 2017:<br /> <br /> [[Aristides Milios]]<br /> [[Canberk Bal]]<br /> <br /> Spring 2016:<br /> <br /> [[Yaser Alkayale|Yaser Alkayale]]<br /> <br /> [[Séline Dogan|Séline Dogan]]<br /> <br /> Fall 2015:<br /> <br /> [[Justin Javorek|Justin Javorek]]<br /> <br /> [[Dhruv Bhatia|Dhruv Bhatia]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Student Priorities|d]]&lt;br/&gt;[[Category:StudentContributors|S]]</div>

<p>Canberkbal: </p> <hr /> <div>Dalhousie University Student Priorities<br /> <br /> = Fellow Project Pitches =<br /> <br /> == Fellow Projects Pitch - 2016 ==<br /> <br /> {{#Widget:Youtube|id=TVR_IMkCNZ0}}<br /> <br /> (Prepared by Yaser Alkayale and Seline Dogan)<br /> <br /> == Fellow Project Pitch - 2015 ==<br /> <br /> {{#Widget:Youtube|id=FFWpEvOJMv0}}<br /> <br /> (Prepared by Justin Javorek and Dhruv Bhatia)<br /> <br /> = OVERVIEW =<br /> <br /> Dalhousie University is located in the heart of Halifax in Nova Scotia, Canada. Local startup ecosystem in Halifax is still at its growing stage. There have been several champions working on developing the ecosystem, but only very recently has the government started to put more pressure on universities to promote entrepreneurship and facilitate deeper connection with the local startup community. Based on this initiative there was a group of political, academic and business leaders formed called oneNS Coalition. The mandate of oneNS Coalition is to instill further growth in the region and a 10 year plan for economic development and sustainability. One of the major topics is entrepreneurship and innovation.<br /> <br /> Going through the training to become University Innovation Fellow, we had a great opportunity to get out of the building and talk to large amount of students and faculty member from across the campus and map out our campus landscape and recognize some of the major shortcomings that need to be addressed. One of our findings was that students are not very aware of the resources and possiblities the E&amp;I community can offer them at Dalhousie and Halifax. Although, some students are aware of some societies, events and spaces that are offered to them, majority of the students are in the mindset that the resources are mostly for business students at Dalhousie. This creates a lack of cross-faculty interaction under E&amp;I.<br /> <br /> The Sexton Engineering Campus at Dalhousie University is physically isolated from the main campus, Studley. This hinders the opportunity for full collaboration within the main campus. We believe that cross-faculty collaboration is essential for further growth of our startup ecosystem. A great example of this is a company called Spring Loaded, where three students from various faculties met in the Starting Lean Course, came up with an idea for a new generation of knee braces and rose over $1.8 million in seed financing to date. In addition to that, Dalhousie university is commited to make engineering campus for the upcoming $64M Innovation hub, IDEA project.<br /> <br /> Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society (D.E.S.) has done tremendous work in the short amount of time they have had since the society was created. Most of the activities and events that we will host will be under D.E.S. because it will give us the platform and power to be in touch with students who have shown some interest in E&amp;I. The D.E.S. will be our main hub that will allow us to get funding and reach the maximum number of students, stakeholder and investors. Our main goal this year is to get increased involvement from students, and for that, we need some funding to be able to bring value to them where they will have the incentive to join our society and take part in our activities.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #1 - Connecting Engineering Students with the rest of the campus =<br /> <br /> We are very pleased with the initiative from the university and the province to create the Innovation Hub (IDEA Building) which is a multipurpose building on Sexton Campus. As University Fellow candidates, we fully support this initiative and are willing to help to further promote it as well as help with information interviews, planning and further ideation on its programs and events.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Engineering Connect (E-Connect) ==<br /> <br /> Create a student-led club on the main campus that will promote our main makerspace on Sexton Campus. This space would serve as place where students can get in initial contact with 3D Printing, Electronics, Raspberry Pi’s and more. This would create a funnel of students on main campus for Innovation Hub on Sexton Campus.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #2 - Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society (D.E.S.) =<br /> <br /> A student-centric organization on campus that aims to build an inclusive innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem on the Dalhousie University campus from within by exposing students in all faculties to resources and funding opportunities, organizing hackathons, startup weekends, conferences and connecting them with the local startup community. D.E.S serves as a vehicle to deliver our strategic student priorities and initiatives.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Build a framework which we can pass along for next generation of student entrepreneurs. ==<br /> <br /> We are building a structure for our society so the new executives for the years to come can have a base to rely on. It is important for us not to just start a society but to also keep it alive and pass it on to other new executives who can take our roles and keep growing it as time goes by. This will be done through getting a ot of people involved with our events and setting guidlines and goals for us to achieve within a timeline. That way, students will take the society seriously and keep it going to achieve its goal of spreading innovation and entrepreneurship around campus.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Recruit students in their first and second year to ensure sustainable future for D.E.S. ==<br /> <br /> By getting students involved in the Entrepreneurship Society we can ensure a sustainable future for the society. Society will keep growing as years go by and students will have time to become familiar with E&amp;I before their graduation, which ultimately will increase the chances of more E&amp;I student achievements at Dalhousie.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.3: Raise awareness with series of student-driven events, meetups and competitions. ==<br /> <br /> In addition, we are currently in the process of creating new By-Laws and a more comprehensive Constitution to enable us fully establish ourselves as the leading student-led organization promoting Entrepreneurship and Innovation on Campus and help us seek further funding opportunities.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #3 - &quot;Collider&quot; in the Library&amp;nbsp; =<br /> <br /> The Collider is a multipurpose space in Killam Library for the collision of serendipitous ideas where from all academic and professional disciplines can come together to develop ideas and and create the future generation of innovators.

Students from oceanography, engineering, arts, phycology, commerce and management formed teams and brought different mindsets to marine problems and came with ideas on how to solve them.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Start the Dalhousie Hackathon Series (DHS), a series of monthly held hackathons created by partnering with different organizations and faculties to ensure collaboration. ==<br /> <br /> As mentioned above, the hackathons will be a great way to get all students involved in different fields and to start to get them innovating. The hackathons will have different themes, but they will all be open to all students so everyone is welcome to join and learn about the different topics. We believe this will be a great way to attract students from all around dalhousie and get them together working on great ideas. Having traditional hackathons is great, but adding different topics and inviting the general student body will ensure high attendance numbers and excitement for everyone.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.3: Make Hackathons inviting for any student all over the four campuses of Dalhousie University. ==<br /> <br /> We decided to call all the students around all four campuses into action! Sending out emails, hanging posters on the walls, creating social media invitations etc. We are dedicated to grab the attention of students in different faculties. We want to show students that E&amp;I isn't only for engineering and business students.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #7 - Creating a class-exchance system =<br /> <br /> In order to enchance the interaction between students across faculties, we aim to lauch such exchange system where they can take the classes with students from other faculties in a monthlly basis. The way how it works is that some specific classes from each faculty would offer up to 10 students per month, to voluntarily take a part in the class. The potential outcomes of this system would let students walk into the shoes of others in terms of academic lives of one to another. In addition to that, they can connect and get to know students from variety of faculty for a greater ability to form a diverse team once they decide to take their innovative ideas and start working on it as entrepreneurs.<br /> <br /> = Related Links =<br /> <br /> [[Dalhousie University]]<br /> <br /> '''Dalhousie Student Priorities'''<br /> <br /> University Innovation Fellows<br /> <br /> Spring 2016:<br /> <br /> [[Yaser Alkayale|Yaser Alkayale]]<br /> <br /> [[Séline Dogan|Séline Dogan]]<br /> <br /> Fall 2015:<br /> <br /> [[Justin Javorek|Justin Javorek]]<br /> <br /> [[Dhruv Bhatia|Dhruv Bhatia]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Student Priorities|d]]&lt;br/&gt;[[Category:StudentContributors|S]]</div>

<p>Canberkbal: </p> <hr /> <div>Dalhousie University Student Priorities<br /> <br /> = Fellow Project Pitches =<br /> <br /> == Fellow Projects Pitch - 2016 ==<br /> <br /> {{#Widget:Youtube|id=TVR_IMkCNZ0}}<br /> <br /> (Prepared by Yaser Alkayale and Seline Dogan)<br /> <br /> == Fellow Project Pitch - 2015 ==<br /> <br /> {{#Widget:Youtube|id=FFWpEvOJMv0}}<br /> <br /> (Prepared by Justin Javorek and Dhruv Bhatia)<br /> <br /> = OVERVIEW =<br /> <br /> Dalhousie University is located in the heart of Halifax in Nova Scotia, Canada. Local startup ecosystem in Halifax is still at its growing stage. There have been several champions working on developing the ecosystem, but only very recently has the government started to put more pressure on universities to promote entrepreneurship and facilitate deeper connection with the local startup community. Based on this initiative there was a group of political, academic and business leaders formed called oneNS Coalition. The mandate of oneNS Coalition is to instill further growth in the region and a 10 year plan for economic development and sustainability. One of the major topics is entrepreneurship and innovation.<br /> <br /> Going through the training to become University Innovation Fellow, we had a great opportunity to get out of the building and talk to large amount of students and faculty member from across the campus and map out our campus landscape and recognize some of the major shortcomings that need to be addressed. One of our findings was that students are not very aware of the resources and possiblities the E&amp;I community can offer them at Dalhousie and Halifax. Although, some students are aware of some societies, events and spaces that are offered to them, majority of the students are in the mindset that the resources are mostly for business students at Dalhousie. This creates a lack of cross-faculty interaction under E&amp;I.<br /> <br /> The Sexton Engineering Campus at Dalhousie University is physically isolated from the main campus, Studley. This hinders the opportunity for full collaboration within the main campus. We believe that cross-faculty collaboration is essential for further growth of our startup ecosystem. A great example of this is a company called Spring Loaded, where three students from various faculties met in the Starting Lean Course, came up with an idea for a new generation of knee braces and rose over $1.8 million in seed financing to date. In addition to that, Dalhousie university is commited to make engineering campus for the upcoming $64M Innovation hub, IDEA project.<br /> <br /> Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society (D.E.S.) has done tremendous work in the short amount of time they have had since the society was created. Most of the activities and events that we will host will be under D.E.S. because it will give us the platform and power to be in touch with students who have shown some interest in E&amp;I. The D.E.S. will be our main hub that will allow us to get funding and reach the maximum number of students, stakeholder and investors. Our main goal this year is to get increased involvement from students, and for that, we need some funding to be able to bring value to them where they will have the incentive to join our society and take part in our activities.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #1 - Connecting Engineering Students with the rest of the campus =<br /> <br /> We are very pleased with the initiative from the university and the province to create the Innovation Hub (IDEA Building) which is a multipurpose building on Sexton Campus. As University Fellow candidates, we fully support this initiative and are willing to help to further promote it as well as help with information interviews, planning and further ideation on its programs and events.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Engineering Connect (E-Connect) ==<br /> <br /> Create a student-led club on the main campus that will promote our main makerspace on Sexton Campus. This space would serve as place where students can get in initial contact with 3D Printing, Electronics, Raspberry Pi’s and more. This would create a funnel of students on main campus for Innovation Hub on Sexton Campus.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #2 - Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society (D.E.S.) =<br /> <br /> A student-centric organization on campus that aims to build an inclusive innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem on the Dalhousie University campus from within by exposing students in all faculties to resources and funding opportunities, organizing hackathons, startup weekends, conferences and connecting them with the local startup community. D.E.S serves as a vehicle to deliver our strategic student priorities and initiatives.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Build a framework which we can pass along for next generation of student entrepreneurs. ==<br /> <br /> We are building a structure for our society so the new executives for the years to come can have a base to rely on. It is important for us not to just start a society but to also keep it alive and pass it on to other new executives who can take our roles and keep growing it as time goes by. This will be done through getting a ot of people involved with our events and setting guidlines and goals for us to achieve within a timeline. That way, students will take the society seriously and keep it going to achieve its goal of spreading innovation and entrepreneurship around campus.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Recruit students in their first and second year to ensure sustainable future for D.E.S. ==<br /> <br /> By getting students involved in the Entrepreneurship Society we can ensure a sustainable future for the society. Society will keep growing as years go by and students will have time to become familiar with E&amp;I before their graduation, which ultimately will increase the chances of more E&amp;I student achievements at Dalhousie.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.3: Raise awareness with series of student-driven events, meetups and competitions. ==<br /> <br /> In addition, we are currently in the process of creating new By-Laws and a more comprehensive Constitution to enable us fully establish ourselves as the leading student-led organization promoting Entrepreneurship and Innovation on Campus and help us seek further funding opportunities.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #3 - &quot;Collider&quot; in the Library&amp;nbsp; =<br /> <br /> The Collider is a multipurpose space in Killam Library for the collision of serendipitous ideas where from all academic and professional disciplines can come together to develop ideas and and create the future generation of innovators. The Collider connect students, local startups, mentors, investors and allows them to work together to help further grow the local startup ecosystem. Killam Library is the least-siloed space on the campus and place where people come together. It is in our best interest to help push this initiative to its full potential.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Series of Hackathons, Events &amp; Conferences ==<br /> <br /> The Collider would serve a great venue for a series of student-led hackathons, events &amp; conferences. The university does not currently host any regular hackathons for students, and that is something that needs to be changed. Our idea is to host a monthly hackathon with a different theme each month. One month it can be for ocean science and ocean projects, while another month it can be a computer science hackathon and possibly a medical science hackathon. These hackathons will serve as a great place for students who have ideas in each of these disciples to come together and work on them.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> Events and coferences are in our long term plan, but we definitely plan on hosting at least one big event a year to showcase the amazing students who have come up with innovative ideas for each year.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #4 - Co-curricular Record (Design Thinking &amp; Lean Methodology) =<br /> <br /> We proposing to have Design Thinking &amp; Lean Methodology offered as official co-curricular record to motivate students to get introduced to the entrepreneurial mindset. This would serve as an ideal channel to non-invasively encourage students to get involved with entrepreneurship on the campus.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Register all the Entrepreneurship and Innovation related events, contests, competitions, workshops etc. on co-curricular database. ==<br /> <br /> We have a great co-curricular record program at Dalhousie Unversity and we would like to leverage that to attract more students into our events and workshops. It is very important that students get recognized for the work that they have done, and showing them that the activities that they do with us will be officially recorded on their transcript is just an extra incenstive to attracting them into our programs.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Enable students to enter their volunteer, participant, mentor, speaker, winner positions within E&amp;I on their co-curricular record which later will benefit their resume. ==<br /> <br /> By allowing students to specify their roles for the specified events, workshops, contests, projects etc. in the co-curricular record will build the desire of wanting to engage more and be a part of something. This way students can have an attachment to the event, workshop etc. they took a part in.<br /> <br /> = &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:larger;&quot;&gt;Strategy #5 – Promote the use of The Collider&lt;/span&gt; =<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Hosting regular workshops in order to get students more informed and engaged about E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> As part of our initiative to get more students involved from all faculties, we will be hosting regular events and workshops for students to gain all the skills they need to run a startup. These workshops have to be regular so students get to know the schedule and come as they have available time. The workshops will be hosted by guest speakers and facilitated by volunteers. The topics we wish to cover include coding for beginners, design, making effective phone calls, and much more.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no. 2: Build a design thinking corner in the collider space ==<br /> <br /> We would like to enable students to use physical office/home supplies to create their prototypes right in the collider during the workshops, events, or contests. This will allow students to create a physical prototype and get one step closer to the final product.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #6 – Hold More Student-Lead Hackathons on a Regular Basis =<br /> <br /> We want to challenge the idea that hackathons are only tech-related. In order to get students from all backgrounds and faculties involved, we have to host hackathons for different disciplines like a hackathon for computer science, one for health sciences and another for ocean science. Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society held the first student-led hackathon for Oceanography and Marine programs Hackamarine 2015. Hackamarine is going to be an annual event held at Dalhousie University, a school well known for its world-class Marine &amp; Oceanography programs. This is a cross-faculty event aiming to bring talent from various fields to work on major problems in Oceans &amp; Marine Sciences. The winning teams took home a cumulative total of $5,000 in prizes.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Keep Hackamarine running annually to get more oceanography/earth sciences students engaged in E&amp;I. ==<br /> <br /> First Hackamarine was a great success. It didn't only help exposing oceanography/earth sciences to E&amp;I, but it was a great turn out regarding collaboration of cross faculty students. Students from oceanography, engineering, arts, phycology, commerce and management formed teams and brought different mindsets to marine problems and came with ideas on how to solve them.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Start the Dalhousie Hackathon Series (DHS), a series of monthly held hackathons created by partnering with different organizations and faculties to ensure collaboration. ==<br /> <br /> As mentioned above, the hackathons will be a great way to get all students involved in different fields and to start to get them innovating. The hackathons will have different themes, but they will all be open to all students so everyone is welcome to join and learn about the different topics. We believe this will be a great way to attract students from all around dalhousie and get them together working on great ideas. Having traditional hackathons is great, but adding different topics and inviting the general student body will ensure high attendance numbers and excitement for everyone.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.3: Make Hackathons inviting for any student all over the four campuses of Dalhousie University. ==<br /> <br /> We decided to call all the students around all four campuses into action! Sending out emails, hanging posters on the walls, creating social media invitations etc. We are dedicated to grab the attention of students in different faculties. We want to show students that E&amp;I isn't only for engineering and business students.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #7 - Creating a class-exchance system =<br /> <br /> In order to enchance the interaction between students across faculties, we aim to lauch such exchange system where they can take the classes with students from other faculties in a monthlly basis. The way how it works is that some specific classes from each faculty would offer up to 10 students per month, to voluntarily take a part in the class.

Our main goal this year is to get increased involvement from students, and for that, we need some funding to be able to bring value to them where they will have the incentive to join our society and take part in our activities.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #1 - Connecting Engineering Students with the rest of the campus =<br /> <br /> We are very pleased with the initiative from the university and the province to create the Innovation Hub (IDEA Building) which is a multipurpose building on Sexton Campus. As University Fellow candidates, we fully support this initiative and are willing to help to further promote it as well as help with information interviews, planning and further ideation on its programs and events.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Engineering Connect (E-Connect) ==<br /> <br /> Create a student-led club on the main campus that will promote our main makerspace on Sexton Campus. This space would serve as place where students can get in initial contact with 3D Printing, Electronics, Raspberry Pi’s and more. This would create a funnel of students on main campus for Innovation Hub on Sexton Campus.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #2 - Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society (D.E.S.) =<br /> <br /> A student-centric organization on campus that aims to build an inclusive innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem on the Dalhousie University campus from within by exposing students in all faculties to resources and funding opportunities, organizing hackathons, startup weekends, conferences and connecting them with the local startup community. D.E.S serves as a vehicle to deliver our strategic student priorities and initiatives.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Build a framework which we can pass along for next generation of student entrepreneurs. ==<br /> <br /> We are building a structure for our society so the new executives for the years to come can have a base to rely on. It is important for us not to just start a society but to also keep it alive and pass it on to other new executives who can take our roles and keep growing it as time goes by. This will be done through getting a ot of people involved with our events and setting guidlines and goals for us to achieve within a timeline. That way, students will take the society seriously and keep it going to achieve its goal of spreading innovation and entrepreneurship around campus.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Recruit students in their first and second year to ensure sustainable future for D.E.S. ==<br /> <br /> By getting students involved in the Entrepreneurship Society we can ensure a sustainable future for the society. Society will keep growing as years go by and students will have time to become familiar with E&amp;I before their graduation, which ultimately will increase the chances of more E&amp;I student achievements at Dalhousie.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.3: Raise awareness with series of student-driven events, meetups and competitions. ==<br /> <br /> In addition, we are currently in the process of creating new By-Laws and a more comprehensive Constitution to enable us fully establish ourselves as the leading student-led organization promoting Entrepreneurship and Innovation on Campus and help us seek further funding opportunities.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #3 - &quot;Collider&quot; in the Library&amp;nbsp; =<br /> <br /> The Collider is a multipurpose space in Killam Library for the collision of serendipitous ideas where from all academic and professional disciplines can come together to develop ideas and and create the future generation of innovators. The Collider connect students, local startups, mentors, investors and allows them to work together to help further grow the local startup ecosystem. Killam Library is the least-siloed space on the campus and place where people come together. It is in our best interest to help push this initiative to its full potential.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Series of Hackathons, Events &amp; Conferences ==<br /> <br /> The Collider would serve a great venue for a series of student-led hackathons, events &amp; conferences. The university does not currently host any regular hackathons for students, and that is something that needs to be changed. Our idea is to host a monthly hackathon with a different theme each month. One month it can be for ocean science and ocean projects, while another month it can be a computer science hackathon and possibly a medical science hackathon. These hackathons will serve as a great place for students who have ideas in each of these disciples to come together and work on them.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> Events and coferences are in our long term plan, but we definitely plan on hosting at least one big event a year to showcase the amazing students who have come up with innovative ideas for each year.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #4 - Co-curricular Record (Design Thinking &amp; Lean Methodology) =<br /> <br /> We proposing to have Design Thinking &amp; Lean Methodology offered as official co-curricular record to motivate students to get introduced to the entrepreneurial mindset. This would serve as an ideal channel to non-invasively encourage students to get involved with entrepreneurship on the campus.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Register all the Entrepreneurship and Innovation related events, contests, competitions, workshops etc. on co-curricular database. ==<br /> <br /> We have a great co-curricular record program at Dalhousie Unversity and we would like to leverage that to attract more students into our events and workshops. It is very important that students get recognized for the work that they have done, and showing them that the activities that they do with us will be officially recorded on their transcript is just an extra incenstive to attracting them into our programs.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Enable students to enter their volunteer, participant, mentor, speaker, winner positions within E&amp;I on their co-curricular record which later will benefit their resume. ==<br /> <br /> By allowing students to specify their roles for the specified events, workshops, contests, projects etc. in the co-curricular record will build the desire of wanting to engage more and be a part of something. This way students can have an attachment to the event, workshop etc. they took a part in.<br /> <br /> = &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:larger;&quot;&gt;Strategy #5 – Promote the use of The Collider&lt;/span&gt; =<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Hosting regular workshops in order to get students more informed and engaged about E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> As part of our initiative to get more students involved from all faculties, we will be hosting regular events and workshops for students to gain all the skills they need to run a startup. These workshops have to be regular so students get to know the schedule and come as they have available time. The workshops will be hosted by guest speakers and facilitated by volunteers. The topics we wish to cover include coding for beginners, design, making effective phone calls, and much more.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no. 2: Build a design thinking corner in the collider space ==<br /> <br /> We would like to enable students to use physical office/home supplies to create their prototypes right in the collider during the workshops, events, or contests. This will allow students to create a physical prototype and get one step closer to the final product.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #6 – Hold More Student-Lead Hackathons on a Regular Basis =<br /> <br /> We want to challenge the idea that hackathons are only tech-related. In order to get students from all backgrounds and faculties involved, we have to host hackathons for different disciplines like a hackathon for computer science, one for health sciences and another for ocean science. Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society held the first student-led hackathon for Oceanography and Marine programs Hackamarine 2015. Hackamarine is going to be an annual event held at Dalhousie University, a school well known for its world-class Marine &amp; Oceanography programs. This is a cross-faculty event aiming to bring talent from various fields to work on major problems in Oceans &amp; Marine Sciences. The winning teams took home a cumulative total of $5,000 in prizes.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Keep Hackamarine running annually to get more oceanography/earth sciences students engaged in E&amp;I. ==<br /> <br /> First Hackamarine was a great success. It didn't only help exposing oceanography/earth sciences to E&amp;I, but it was a great turn out regarding collaboration of cross faculty students. Students from oceanography, engineering, arts, phycology, commerce and management formed teams and brought different mindsets to marine problems and came with ideas on how to solve them.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Start the Dalhousie Hackathon Series (DHS), a series of monthly held hackathons created by partnering with different organizations and faculties to ensure collaboration. ==<br /> <br /> As mentioned above, the hackathons will be a great way to get all students involved in different fields and to start to get them innovating. The hackathons will have different themes, but they will all be open to all students so everyone is welcome to join and learn about the different topics. We believe this will be a great way to attract students from all around dalhousie and get them together working on great ideas. Having traditional hackathons is great, but adding different topics and inviting the general student body will ensure high attendance numbers and excitement for everyone.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.3: Make Hackathons inviting for any student all over the four campuses of Dalhousie University. ==<br /> <br /> We decided to call all the students around all four campuses into action! Sending out emails, hanging posters on the walls, creating social media invitations etc. We are dedicated to grab the attention of students in different faculties. We want to show students that E&amp;I isn't only for engineering and business students.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #7 - Creating a class-exchance system =<br /> <br /> In order to enchance the interaction between students across faculties, we aim to lauch such exchange system where they can take the classes with students from other faculties in a monthlly basis. The way how it works is that some specific classes from each faculty would offer up to 10 students per month, to voluntarily take a part in the class. The potential outcomes of this system would let students walk into the shoes of others in terms of academic lives of one to another. In addition to that, they can connect and get to know students from variety of faculty for a greater ability to form a diverse team once they decide to take their innovative ideas and start working on it as entrepreneurs.<br /> <br /> = Related Links =<br /> <br /> [[Dalhousie University]]<br /> <br /> '''Dalhousie Student Priorities'''<br /> <br /> University Innovation Fellows<br /> <br /> Spring 2016:<br /> <br /> [[Yaser Alkayale|Yaser Alkayale]]<br /> <br /> [[Séline Dogan|Séline Dogan]]<br /> <br /> Fall 2015:<br /> <br /> [[Justin Javorek|Justin Javorek]]<br /> <br /> [[Dhruv Bhatia|Dhruv Bhatia]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Student Priorities|d]]&lt;br/&gt;[[Category:StudentContributors|S]]</div>

<p>Canberkbal: </p> <hr /> <div>Dalhousie University Student Priorities<br /> <br /> = Fellow Project Pitches =<br /> <br /> == Fellow Projects Pitch - 2016 ==<br /> <br /> {{#Widget:Youtube|id=TVR_IMkCNZ0}}<br /> <br /> (Prepared by Yaser Alkayale and Seline Dogan)<br /> <br /> == Fellow Project Pitch - 2015 ==<br /> <br /> {{#Widget:Youtube|id=FFWpEvOJMv0}}<br /> <br /> (Prepared by Justin Javorek and Dhruv Bhatia)<br /> <br /> = OVERVIEW =<br /> <br /> Dalhousie University is located in the heart of Halifax in Nova Scotia, Canada. Local startup ecosystem in Halifax is still at its growing stage. There have been several champions working on developing the ecosystem, but only very recently has the government started to put more pressure on universities to promote entrepreneurship and facilitate deeper connection with the local startup community. Based on this initiative there was a group of political, academic and business leaders formed called oneNS Coalition. The mandate of oneNS Coalition is to instill further growth in the region and a 10 year plan for economic development and sustainability. One of the major topics is entrepreneurship and innovation.<br /> <br /> Going through the training to become University Innovation Fellow, we had a great opportunity to get out of the building and talk to large amount of students and faculty member from across the campus and map out our campus landscape and recognize some of the major shortcomings that need to be addressed. One of our findings was that students are not very aware of the resources and possiblities the E&amp;I community can offer them at Dalhousie and Halifax. Although, some students are aware of some societies, events and spaces that are offered to them, majority of the students are in the mindset that the resources are mostly for business students at Dalhousie. This creates a lack of cross-faculty interaction under E&amp;I.<br /> <br /> The Sexton Engineering Campus at Dalhousie University is physically isolated from the main campus, Studley. This hinders the opportunity for full collaboration within the main campus. We believe that cross-faculty collaboration is essential for further growth of our startup ecosystem. A great example of this is a company called Spring Loaded, where three students from various faculties met in the Starting Lean Course, came up with an idea for a new generation of knee braces and rose over $1.8 million in seed financing to date. In addition to that, Dalhousie university is commited to make engineering campus for the upcoming $64M Innovation hub, IDEA project.<br /> <br /> Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society (D.E.S.) has done tremendous work in the short amount of time they have had since the society was created. Most of the activities and events that we will host will be under D.E.S. because it will give us the platform and power to be in touch with students who have shown some interest in E&amp;I. The D.E.S. will be our main hub that will allow us to get funding and reach the maximum number of students, stakeholder and investors.

These workshops have to be regular so students get to know the schedule and come as they have available time. The workshops will be hosted by guest speakers and facilitated by volunteers. The topics we wish to cover include coding for beginners, design, making effective phone calls, and much more.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no. 2: Build a design thinking corner in the collider space ==<br /> <br /> We would like to enable students to use physical office/home supplies to create their prototypes right in the collider during the workshops, events, or contests. This will allow students to create a physical prototype and get one step closer to the final product.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #6 – Hold More Student-Lead Hackathons on a Regular Basis =<br /> <br /> We want to challenge the idea that hackathons are only tech-related. In order to get students from all backgrounds and faculties involved, we have to host hackathons for different disciplines like a hackathon for computer science, one for health sciences and another for ocean science. Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society held the first student-led hackathon for Oceanography and Marine programs Hackamarine 2015. Hackamarine is going to be an annual event held at Dalhousie University, a school well known for its world-class Marine &amp; Oceanography programs. This is a cross-faculty event aiming to bring talent from various fields to work on major problems in Oceans &amp; Marine Sciences. The winning teams took home a cumulative total of $5,000 in prizes.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Keep Hackamarine running annually to get more oceanography/earth sciences students engaged in E&amp;I. ==<br /> <br /> First Hackamarine was a great success. It didn't only help exposing oceanography/earth sciences to E&amp;I, but it was a great turn out regarding collaboration of cross faculty students. Students from oceanography, engineering, arts, phycology, commerce and management formed teams and brought different mindsets to marine problems and came with ideas on how to solve them.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Start the Dalhousie Hackathon Series (DHS), a series of monthly held hackathons created by partnering with different organizations and faculties to ensure collaboration. ==<br /> <br /> As mentioned above, the hackathons will be a great way to get all students involved in different fields and to start to get them innovating. The hackathons will have different themes, but they will all be open to all students so everyone is welcome to join and learn about the different topics. We believe this will be a great way to attract students from all around dalhousie and get them together working on great ideas. Having traditional hackathons is great, but adding different topics and inviting the general student body will ensure high attendance numbers and excitement for everyone.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.3: Make Hackathons inviting for any student all over the four campuses of Dalhousie University. ==<br /> <br /> We decided to call all the students around all four campuses into action! Sending out emails, hanging posters on the walls, creating social media invitations etc. We are dedicated to grab the attention of students in different faculties. We want to show students that E&amp;I isn't only for engineering and business students.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #7 - Creating a class-exchance system =<br /> <br /> In order to enchance the interaction between students across faculties, we aim to lauch such exchange system where they can take the classes with students from other faculties in a monthlly basis. The way how it works is that some specific classes from each faculty would offer up to 10 students per month, to voluntarily take a part in the class. The potential outcomes of this system would let students walk into the shoes of others in terms of academic lives of one to another. In addition to that, they can connect and get to know students from variety of faculty for a greater ability to form a diverse team once they would decide to take their innovative ideas and start working on it as entrepreneurs.<br /> <br /> = Related Links =<br /> <br /> [[Dalhousie University]]<br /> <br /> '''Dalhousie Student Priorities'''<br /> <br /> University Innovation Fellows<br /> <br /> Spring 2016:<br /> <br /> [[Yaser Alkayale|Yaser Alkayale]]<br /> <br /> [[Séline Dogan|Séline Dogan]]<br /> <br /> Fall 2015:<br /> <br /> [[Justin Javorek|Justin Javorek]]<br /> <br /> [[Dhruv Bhatia|Dhruv Bhatia]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Student Priorities|d]]&lt;br/&gt;[[Category:StudentContributors|S]]</div>

<p>Canberkbal: </p> <hr /> <div>Dalhousie University Student Priorities<br /> <br /> = Fellow Project Pitches =<br /> <br /> == Fellow Projects Pitch - 2016 ==<br /> <br /> {{#Widget:Youtube|id=TVR_IMkCNZ0}}<br /> <br /> (Prepared by Yaser Alkayale and Seline Dogan)<br /> <br /> == Fellow Project Pitch - 2015 ==<br /> <br /> {{#Widget:Youtube|id=FFWpEvOJMv0}}<br /> <br /> (Prepared by Justin Javorek and Dhruv Bhatia)<br /> <br /> = OVERVIEW =<br /> <br /> Dalhousie University is located in the heart of Halifax in Nova Scotia, Canada. Local startup ecosystem in Halifax is still at its growing stage. There have been several champions working on developing the ecosystem, but only very recently has the government started to put more pressure on universities to promote entrepreneurship and facilitate deeper connection with the local startup community. Based on this initiative there was a group of political, academic and business leaders formed called oneNS Coalition. The mandate of oneNS Coalition is to instill further growth in the region and a 10 year plan for economic development and sustainability. One of the major topics is entrepreneurship and innovation.<br /> <br /> Going through the training to become University Innovation Fellow, we had a great opportunity to get out of the building and talk to large amount of students and faculty member from across the campus and map out our campus landscape and recognize some of the major shortcomings that need to be addressed. One of our findings was that students are not very aware of the resources and possiblities the E&amp;I community can offer them at Dalhousie and Halifax. Although, some students are aware of some societies, events and spaces that are offered to them, majority of the students are in the mindset that the resources are mostly for business students at Dalhousie. This creates a lack of cross-faculty interaction under E&amp;I.<br /> <br /> The Sexton Engineering Campus at Dalhousie University is physically isolated from the main campus, Studley. This hinders the opportunity for full collaboration within the main campus. We believe that cross-faculty collaboration is essential for further growth of our startup ecosystem. A great example of this is a company called Spring Loaded, where three students from various faculties met in the Starting Lean Course, came up with an idea for a new generation of knee braces and rose over $1.8 million in seed financing to date. In addition to that, Dalhousie university is commited to make engineering campus for the upcoming $64M Innovation hub, IDEA project.<br /> <br /> Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society (D.E.S.) has done tremendous work in the short amount of time they have had since the society was created. Most of the activities and events that we will host will be under D.E.S. because it will give us the platform and power to be in touch with students who have shown some interest in E&amp;I. The D.E.S. will be our main hub that will allow us to get funding and reach the maximum number of students, stakeholder and investors. Our main goal this year is to get increased involvement from students, and for that, we need some funding to be able to bring value to them where they will have the incentive to join our society and take part in our activities.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #1 - Connecting Engineering Students with the rest of the campus =<br /> <br /> We are very pleased with the initiative from the university and the province to create the Innovation Hub (IDEA Building) which is a multipurpose building on Sexton Campus. As University Fellow candidates, we fully support this initiative and are willing to help to further promote it as well as help with information interviews, planning and further ideation on its programs and events.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Engineering Connect (E-Connect) ==<br /> <br /> Create a student-led club on the main campus that will promote our main makerspace on Sexton Campus. This space would serve as place where students can get in initial contact with 3D Printing, Electronics, Raspberry Pi’s and more. This would create a funnel of students on main campus for Innovation Hub on Sexton Campus.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #2 - Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society (D.E.S.) =<br /> <br /> A student-centric organization on campus that aims to build an inclusive innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem on the Dalhousie University campus from within by exposing students in all faculties to resources and funding opportunities, organizing hackathons, startup weekends, conferences and connecting them with the local startup community. D.E.S serves as a vehicle to deliver our strategic student priorities and initiatives.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Build a framework which we can pass along for next generation of student entrepreneurs. ==<br /> <br /> We are building a structure for our society so the new executives for the years to come can have a base to rely on. It is important for us not to just start a society but to also keep it alive and pass it on to other new executives who can take our roles and keep growing it as time goes by. This will be done through getting a ot of people involved with our events and setting guidlines and goals for us to achieve within a timeline. That way, students will take the society seriously and keep it going to achieve its goal of spreading innovation and entrepreneurship around campus.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Recruit students in their first and second year to ensure sustainable future for D.E.S. ==<br /> <br /> By getting students involved in the Entrepreneurship Society we can ensure a sustainable future for the society. Society will keep growing as years go by and students will have time to become familiar with E&amp;I before their graduation, which ultimately will increase the chances of more E&amp;I student achievements at Dalhousie.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.3: Raise awareness with series of student-driven events, meetups and competitions. ==<br /> <br /> In addition, we are currently in the process of creating new By-Laws and a more comprehensive Constitution to enable us fully establish ourselves as the leading student-led organization promoting Entrepreneurship and Innovation on Campus and help us seek further funding opportunities.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #3 - &quot;Collider&quot; in the Library&amp;nbsp; =<br /> <br /> The Collider is a multipurpose space in Killam Library for the collision of serendipitous ideas where from all academic and professional disciplines can come together to develop ideas and and create the future generation of innovators. The Collider connect students, local startups, mentors, investors and allows them to work together to help further grow the local startup ecosystem. Killam Library is the least-siloed space on the campus and place where people come together. It is in our best interest to help push this initiative to its full potential.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Series of Hackathons, Events &amp; Conferences ==<br /> <br /> The Collider would serve a great venue for a series of student-led hackathons, events &amp; conferences. The university does not currently host any regular hackathons for students, and that is something that needs to be changed. Our idea is to host a monthly hackathon with a different theme each month. One month it can be for ocean science and ocean projects, while another month it can be a computer science hackathon and possibly a medical science hackathon. These hackathons will serve as a great place for students who have ideas in each of these disciples to come together and work on them.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> Events and coferences are in our long term plan, but we definitely plan on hosting at least one big event a year to showcase the amazing students who have come up with innovative ideas for each year.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #4 - Co-curricular Record (Design Thinking &amp; Lean Methodology) =<br /> <br /> We proposing to have Design Thinking &amp; Lean Methodology offered as official co-curricular record to motivate students to get introduced to the entrepreneurial mindset. This would serve as an ideal channel to non-invasively encourage students to get involved with entrepreneurship on the campus.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Register all the Entrepreneurship and Innovation related events, contests, competitions, workshops etc. on co-curricular database. ==<br /> <br /> We have a great co-curricular record program at Dalhousie Unversity and we would like to leverage that to attract more students into our events and workshops. It is very important that students get recognized for the work that they have done, and showing them that the activities that they do with us will be officially recorded on their transcript is just an extra incenstive to attracting them into our programs.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Enable students to enter their volunteer, participant, mentor, speaker, winner positions within E&amp;I on their co-curricular record which later will benefit their resume. ==<br /> <br /> By allowing students to specify their roles for the specified events, workshops, contests, projects etc. in the co-curricular record will build the desire of wanting to engage more and be a part of something. This way students can have an attachment to the event, workshop etc. they took a part in.<br /> <br /> = &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Strategy #5 – Promote the use of The Collider&lt;/span&gt; =<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Hosting regular workshops in order to get students more informed and engaged about E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> As part of our initiative to get more students involved from all faculties, we will be hosting regular events and workshops for students to gain all the skills they need to run a startup.

One of the major topics is entrepreneurship and innovation.<br /> <br /> Going through the training to become University Innovation Fellow, we had a great opportunity to get out of the building and talk to large amount of students and faculty member from across the campus and map out our campus landscape and recognize some of the major shortcomings that need to be addressed. One of our findings was that students are not very aware of the resources and possiblities the E&amp;I community can offer them at Dalhousie and Halifax. Although, some students are aware of some societies, events and spaces that are offered to them, majority of the students are in the mindset that the resources are mostly for business students at Dalhousie. This creates a lack of cross-faculty interaction under E&amp;I.<br /> <br /> The Sexton Engineering Campus at Dalhousie University is physically isolated from the main campus, Studley. This hinders the opportunity for full collaboration within the main campus. We believe that cross-faculty collaboration is essential for further growth of our startup ecosystem. A great example of this is a company called Spring Loaded, where three students from various faculties met in the Starting Lean Course, came up with an idea for a new generation of knee braces and rose over $1.8 million in seed financing to date.<br /> <br /> Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society (D.E.S.) has done tremendous work in the short amount of time they have had since the society was created. Most of the activities and events that we will host will be under D.E.S. because it will give us the platform and power to be in touch with students who have shown some interest in E&amp;I. The D.E.S. will be our main hub that will allow us to get funding and reach the maximum number of students, stakeholder and investors. Our main goal this year is to get increased involvement from students, and for that, we need some funding to be able to bring value to them where they will have the incentive to join our society and take part in our activities.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #1 - Connecting Engineering Students with the rest of the campus =<br /> <br /> We are very pleased with the initiative from the university and the province to create the Innovation Hub (IDEA Building) which is a multipurpose building on Sexton Campus. As University Fellow candidates, we fully support this initiative and are willing to help to further promote it as well as help with information interviews, planning and further ideation on its programs and events.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Engineering Connect (E-Connect) ==<br /> <br /> Create a student-led club on the main campus that will promote our main makerspace on Sexton Campus. This space would serve as place where students can get in initial contact with 3D Printing, Electronics, Raspberry Pi’s and more. This would create a funnel of students on main campus for Innovation Hub on Sexton Campus.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #2 - Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society (D.E.S.) =<br /> <br /> A student-centric organization on campus that aims to build an inclusive innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem on the Dalhousie University campus from within by exposing students in all faculties to resources and funding opportunities, organizing hackathons, startup weekends, conferences and connecting them with the local startup community. D.E.S serves as a vehicle to deliver our strategic student priorities and initiatives.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Build a framework which we can pass along for next generation of student entrepreneurs. ==<br /> <br /> We are building a structure for our society so the new executives for the years to come can have a base to rely on. It is important for us not to just start a society but to also keep it alive and pass it on to other new executives who can take our roles and keep growing it as time goes by. This will be done through getting a ot of people involved with our events and setting guidlines and goals for us to achieve within a timeline. That way, students will take the society seriously and keep it going to achieve its goal of spreading innovation and entrepreneurship around campus.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Recruit students in their first and second year to ensure sustainable future for D.E.S. ==<br /> <br /> By getting students involved in the Entrepreneurship Society we can ensure a sustainable future for the society. Society will keep growing as years go by and students will have time to become familiar with E&amp;I before their graduation, which ultimately will increase the chances of more E&amp;I student achievements at Dalhousie.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.3: Raise awareness with series of student-driven events, meetups and competitions. ==<br /> <br /> In addition, we are currently in the process of creating new By-Laws and a more comprehensive Constitution to enable us fully establish ourselves as the leading student-led organization promoting Entrepreneurship and Innovation on Campus and help us seek further funding opportunities.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #3 - Collider Space in Library (Innovation space in Killam Library) =<br /> <br /> The Collider is a multipurpose space in Killam Library for the collision of serendipitous ideas where from all academic and professional disciplines can come together to develop ideas and and create the future generation of innovators. The Collider connect students, local startups, mentors, investors and allows them to work together to help further grow the local startup ecosystem. Killam Library is the least-siloed space on the campus and place where people come together. It is in our best interest to help push this initiative to its full potential.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Series of Hackathons, Events &amp; Conferences ==<br /> <br /> The Collider would serve a great venue for a series of student-led Hackathons, Events &amp; Conferences. The university does not currently host any regular hackathons for students, and that is something that needs to be changed. Our idea is to host a monthly hackathon with a different theme each month. One month it can be for ocean science and ocean projects, while another month it can be a computer science hackathon, and possibly a medical science hackathon. These hackathons will serve as a great place for students who have ideas in each of these disciples to come together and work on them&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> Events and coferences are in our long term plan, but we definitely plan on hosting at least one big event a year to showcase the amazing students who have come up with innovative ideas for each year.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #4 - Co-curricular Record (Design Thinking &amp; Lean Methodology) =<br /> <br /> We proposing to have Design Thinking &amp; Lean Methodology offered as official co-curricular record to motivate students to get introduced to the entrepreneurial mindset. This would serve as an ideal channel to non-invasively encourage students to get involved with entrepreneurship on the campus.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Register all the Entrepreneurship and Innovation related events, contests, competitions, workshops etc. on co-curricular database. ==<br /> <br /> We have a great co-curricular record program at Dalhousie Unversity and we would like to leverage that to attract more students into our events and workshops. It is very important that students get recognized for the work that they have done, and showing them that the activities that they do with us will be officially recorded on their transcript is just an extra incenstive to attracting them into our programs.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Enable students to enter their volunteer, participant, mentor, speaker, winner positions within E&amp;I on their co-curricular record which later will benefit their resume. ==<br /> <br /> By allowing students to specify their roles for the specified events, workshops, contests, projects etc. in the co-curricular record will build the desire of wanting to engage more and be a part of something. This way students can have an attachment to the event, workshop etc. they took a part in.<br /> <br /> = &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Strategy #6 – Promote the use of The Collider&lt;/span&gt; =<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Hosting regular workshops in order to get students more informed and engaged about E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> As part of our initiative to get more students involved from all faculties, we will be hosting regular events and workshops for students to gain all the skills they need to run a startup. These workshops have to be regular so students get to know the schedule and come as they have available time. The workshops will be hosted by guest speakers and facilitated by volunteers. The topics we wish to cover include coding for beginners, design, making effective phone calls, and much more.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no. 2: Build a design thinking corner in the collider space ==<br /> <br /> We would like to enable students to use physical office/home supplies to create their prototypes right in the collider during the workshops, events, or contests. This will allow students to create a physical prototype and get one step closer to the final product.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #5 – Hold More Student-Lead Hackathons on a Regular Basis =<br /> <br /> We want to challenge the idea that hackathons are only tech-related. In order to get students from all backgrounds and faculties involved, we have to host hackathons for different disciplines like a hackathon for computer science, one for health sciences and another for ocean science. Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society held the first student-led hackathon for Oceanography and Marine programs Hackamarine 2015. Hackamarine is going to be an annual event held at Dalhousie University, a school well known for its world-class Marine &amp; Oceanography programs. This is a cross-faculty event aiming to bring talent from various fields to work on major problems in Oceans &amp; Marine Sciences. The winning teams took home a cumulative total of $5,000 in prizes.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Keep Hackamarine running annually to get more oceanography/earth sciences students engaged in E&amp;I. ==<br /> <br /> First Hackamarine was a great success. It didn't only help exposing oceanography/earth sciences to E&amp;I, but it was a great turn out regarding collaboration of cross faculty students. Students from oceanography, engineering, arts, phycology, commerce and management formed teams and brought different mindsets to marine problems and came with ideas on how to solve them.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Start the Dalhousie Hackathon Series (DHS), a series of monthly held hackathons created by partnering with different organizations and faculties to ensure collaboration. ==<br /> <br /> As mentioned above, the hackathons will be a great way to get all students involved in different fields and to start to get them innovating. The hackathons will have different themes, but they will all be open to all students so everyone is welcome to join and learn about the different topics. We believe this will be a great way to attract students from all around dalhousie and get them together working on great ideas. Having traditional hackathons is great, but adding different topics and inviting the general student body will ensure high attendance numbers and excitement for everyone.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.3: Make Hackathons inviting for any student all over the four campuses of Dalhousie University. ==<br /> <br /> We decided to call all the students around all four campuses into action! Sending out emails, hanging posters on the walls, creating social media invitations etc. We are dedicated to grab the attention of students in different faculties. We want to show students that E&amp;I isn't only for engineering and business students.<br /> <br /> = Related Links =<br /> <br /> [[Dalhousie University]]<br /> <br /> '''Dalhousie Student Priorities'''<br /> <br /> University Innovation Fellows<br /> <br /> Spring 2016:<br /> <br /> [[Yaser Alkayale|Yaser Alkayale]]<br /> <br /> [[Séline Dogan|Séline Dogan]]<br /> <br /> Fall 2015:<br /> <br /> [[Justin Javorek|Justin Javorek]]<br /> <br /> [[Dhruv Bhatia|Dhruv Bhatia]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Student Priorities|d]]&lt;br/&gt;[[Category:StudentContributors|S]]</div>

Local startup ecosystem in Halifax is still at its growing stage. There have been several champions working on developing the ecosystem, but only very recently has the government started to put more pressure on universities to promote entrepreneurship and facilitate deeper connection with the local startup community.

These workshops have to be regular so students get to know the schedule and come as they have available time. The workshops will be hosted by guest speakers and facilitated by volunteers. The topics we wish to cover include coding for beginners, design, making effective phone calls, and much more.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no. 2: Build a design thinking corner in the collider space ==<br /> <br /> We would like to enable students to use physical office/home supplies to create their prototypes right in the collider during the workshops, events, or contests. This will allow students to create a physical prototype and get one step closer to the final product.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #5 – Hold More Student-Lead Hackathons on a Regular Basis =<br /> <br /> We want to challenge the idea that hackathons are only tech-related. In order to get students from all backgrounds and faculties involved, we have to host hackathons for different disciplines like a hackathon for computer science, one for health sciences and another for ocean science. Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society held the first student-led hackathon for Oceanography and Marine programs Hackamarine 2015. Hackamarine is going to be an annual event held at Dalhousie University, a school well known for its world-class Marine &amp; Oceanography programs. This is a cross-faculty event aiming to bring talent from various fields to work on major problems in Oceans &amp; Marine Sciences. The winning teams took home a cumulative total of $5,000 in prizes.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Keep Hackamarine running annually to get more oceanography/earth sciences students engaged in E&amp;I. ==<br /> <br /> First Hackamarine was a great success. It didn't only help exposing oceanography/earth sciences to E&amp;I, but it was a great turn out regarding collaboration of cross faculty students. Students from oceanography, engineering, arts, phycology, commerce and management formed teams and brought different mindsets to marine problems and came with ideas on how to solve them.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Start the Dalhousie Hackathon Series (DHS), a series of monthly held hackathons created by partnering with different organizations and faculties to ensure collaboration. ==<br /> <br /> As mentioned above, the hackathons will be a great way to get all students involved in different fields and to start to get them innovating. The hackathons will have different themes, but they will all be open to all students so everyone is welcome to join and learn about the different topics. We believe this will be a great way to attract students from all around dalhousie and get them together working on great ideas. Having traditional hackathons is great, but adding different topics and inviting the general student body will ensure high attendance numbers and excitement for everyone.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.3: Make Hackathons inviting for any student all over the four campuses of Dalhousie University. ==<br /> <br /> We decided to call all the students around all four campuses into action! Sending out emails, hanging posters on the walls, creating social media invitations etc. We are dedicated to grab the attention of students in different faculties. We want to show students that E&amp;I isn't only for engineering and business students.<br /> <br /> = Related Links =<br /> <br /> [[Dalhousie University]]<br /> <br /> '''Dalhousie Student Priorities'''<br /> <br /> University Innovation Fellows<br /> <br /> Spring 2016:<br /> <br /> [[Yaser Alkayale|Yaser Alkayale]]<br /> <br /> [[Séline Dogan|Séline Dogan]]<br /> <br /> Fall 2015:<br /> <br /> [[Justin Javorek|Justin Javorek]]<br /> <br /> [[Dhruv Bhatia|Dhruv Bhatia]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Student Priorities|d]]&lt;br/&gt;[[Category:StudentContributors|S]]</div>

<p>Canberkbal: </p> <hr /> <div>Dalhousie University Student Priorities<br /> <br /> = Fellow Project Pitches =<br /> <br /> == Fellow Projects Pitch - 2016 ==<br /> <br /> {{#Widget:Youtube|id=TVR_IMkCNZ0}}<br /> <br /> (Prepared by Yaser Alkayale and Seline Dogan)<br /> <br /> == Fellow Project Pitch - 2015 ==<br /> <br /> {{#Widget:Youtube|id=FFWpEvOJMv0}}<br /> <br /> (Prepared by Justin Javorek and Dhruv Bhatia)<br /> <br /> = OVERVIEW =<br /> <br /> Dalhousie University is located in the heart of Halifax in Nova Scotia, Canada. Local startup ecosystem in Halifax is still at its growing stage. There have been several champions working on developing the ecosystem, but only very recently has the government started to put more pressure on universities to promote entrepreneurship and facilitate deeper connection with the local startup community. Based on this initiative there was a group of political, academic and business leaders formed called oneNS Coalition. The mandate of oneNS Coalition is to instill further growth in the region and a 10 year plan for economic development and sustainability. One of the major topics is entrepreneurship and innovation.<br /> <br /> Going through the training to become University Innovation Fellow, we had a great opportunity to get out of the building and talk to large amount of students and faculty member from across the campus and map out our campus landscape and recognize some of the major shortcomings that need to be addressed. One of our findings was that students are not very aware of the resources and possiblities the E&amp;I community can offer them at Dalhousie and Halifax. Although, some students are aware of some societies, events and spaces that are offered to them, majority of the students are in the mindset that the resources are mostly for business students at Dalhousie. This creates a lack of cross-faculty interaction under E&amp;I.<br /> <br /> The Sexton Engineering Campus at Dalhousie University is physically isolated from the main campus, Studley. This hinders the opportunity for full collaboration within the main campus. We believe that cross-faculty collaboration is essential for further growth of our startup ecosystem. A great example of this is a company called Spring Loaded, where three students from various faculties met in the Starting Lean Course, came up with an idea for a new generation of knee braces and rose over $1.8 million in seed financing to date.<br /> <br /> Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society (D.E.S.) has done tremendous work in the short amount of time they have had since the society was created. Most of the activities and events that we will host will be under D.E.S. because it will give us the platform and power to be in touch with students who have shown some interest in E&amp;I. The D.E.S. will be our main hub that will allow us to get funding and reach the maximum number of students, stakeholder and investors. Our main goal this year is to get increased involvement from students, and for that, we need some funding to be able to bring value to them where they will have the incentive to join our society and take part in our activities.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #1 - Connecting Engineering Students with the rest of the campus =<br /> <br /> We are very pleased with the initiative from the university and the province to create the Innovation Hub (IDEA Building) which is a multipurpose building on Sexton Campus. As University Fellow candidates, we fully support this initiative and are willing to help to further promote it as well as help with information interviews, planning and further ideation on its programs and events.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Engineering Connect (E-Connect) ==<br /> <br /> Create a student-led club on the main campus that will promote our main makerspace on Sexton Campus. This space would serve as place where students can get in initial contact with 3D Printing, Electronics, Raspberry Pi’s and more. This would create a funnel of students on main campus for Innovation Hub on Sexton Campus.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #2 - Dalhousie Entrepreneurship Society (D.E.S.) =<br /> <br /> A student-centric organization on campus that aims to build an inclusive innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem on the Dalhousie University campus from within by exposing students in all faculties to resources and funding opportunities, organizing hackathons, startup weekends, conferences and connecting them with the local startup community. D.E.S serves as a vehicle to deliver our strategic student priorities and initiatives.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Build a framework which we can pass along for next generation of student entrepreneurs. ==<br /> <br /> We are building a structure for our society so the new executives for the years to come can have a base to rely on. It is important for us not to just start a society but to also keep it alive and pass it on to other new executives who can take our roles and keep growing it as time goes by. This will be done through getting a ot of people involved with our events and setting guidlines and goals for us to achieve within a timeline. That way, students will take the society seriously and keep it going to achieve its goal of spreading innovation and entrepreneurship around campus.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Recruit students in their first and second year to ensure sustainable future for D.E.S. ==<br /> <br /> By getting students involved in the Entrepreneurship Society we can ensure a sustainable future for the society. Society will keep growing as years go by and students will have time to become familiar with E&amp;I before their graduation, which ultimately will increase the chances of more E&amp;I student achievements at Dalhousie.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.3: Raise awareness with series of student-driven events, meetups and competitions. ==<br /> <br /> In addition, we are currently in the process of creating new By-Laws and a more comprehensive Constitution to enable us fully establish ourselves as the leading student-led organization promoting Entrepreneurship and Innovation on Campus and help us seek further funding opportunities.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #3 - Collider Space in Library (Innovation space in Killam Library) =<br /> <br /> The Collider is a multipurpose space in Killam Library for the collision of serendipitous ideas where from all academic and professional disciplines can come together to develop ideas and and create the future generation of innovators. The Collider connect students, local startups, mentors, investors and allows them to work together to help further grow the local startup ecosystem. Killam Library is the least-siloed space on the campus and place where people come together. It is in our best interest to help push this initiative to its full potential.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Series of Hackathons, Events &amp; Conferences ==<br /> <br /> The Collider would serve a great venue for a series of student-led Hackathons, Events &amp; Conferences. The university does not currently host any regular hackathons for students, and that is something that needs to be changed. Our idea is to host a monthly hackathon with a different theme each month. One month it can be for ocean science and ocean projects, while another month it can be a computer science hackathon, and possibly a medical science hackathon. These hackathons will serve as a great place for students who have ideas in each of these disciples to come together and work on them&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> Events and coferences are in our long term plan, but we definitely plan on hosting at least one big event a year to showcase the amazing students who have come up with innovative ideas for each year.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #4 - Co-curricular Record (Design Thinking &amp; Lean Methodology) =<br /> <br /> We proposing to have Design Thinking &amp; Lean Methodology offered as official co-curricular record to motivate students to get introduced to the entrepreneurial mindset. This would serve as an ideal channel to non-invasively encourage students to get involved with entrepreneurship on the campus.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Register all the Entrepreneurship and Innovation related events, contests, competitions, workshops etc. on co-curricular database. ==<br /> <br /> We have a great co-curricular record program at Dalhousie Unversity and we would like to leverage that to attract more students into our events and workshops. It is very important that students get recognized for the work that they have done, and showing them that the activities that they do with us will be officially recorded on their transcript is just an extra incenstive to attracting them into our programs.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Enable students to enter their volunteer, participant, mentor, speaker, winner positions within E&amp;I on their co-curricular record which later will benefit their resume. ==<br /> <br /> By allowing students to specify their roles for the specified events, workshops, contests, projects etc. in the co-curricular record will build the desire of wanting to engage more and be a part of something. This way students can have an attachment to the event, workshop etc. they took a part in.<br /> <br /> = &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Strategy #6 – Promote the use of The Collider&lt;/span&gt; =<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Hosting regular workshops in order to get students more informed and engaged about E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> As part of our initiative to get more students involved from all faculties, we will be hosting regular events and workshops for students to gain all the skills they need to run a startup. These workshops have to be regular so students get to know the schedule and come as they have available time. The workshops will be hosted by guest speakers and facilitated by volunteers. The topics we wish to cover include coding for beginners, design, making effective phone calls, and much more.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no. 2: Build a design thinking corner in the collider space ==<br /> <br /> We would like to enable students to use physical office/home supplies to create their prototypes right in the collider during the workshops, events, or contests. This will allow students to create a physical prototype and get one step closer to the final product.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #7 – Hold More Student-Lead Hackathons on a Regular Basis =<br /> <br /> We want to challenge the idea that hackathons are only tech-related. In order to get students from all backgrounds and faculties involved, we have to host hackathons for different disciplines like a hackathon for computer science, one for health sciences and another for ocean science.

This way students can have an attachment to the event, workshop etc. they took a part in.<br /> <br /> = Strategy #5 – Start a bi-weekly E&amp;I Newsletter to Keep Students and Stakeholders Informed =<br /> <br /> Our main issue around campus right now is to to get the word out and to get students involved with entrepreneurship and to pursue their ideas. After a lot of customer discover, we find that a newsletter to get the word out would be the ideal way to let students, faculty and alumni know about our activities and events that we are hosting.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Grow a newsletter network of students, alumni, and stakeholders. ==<br /> <br /> There is currently a big gap between students and I&amp;E activities around Dalhousie, and we would like to fill in this gap by providing a regular nuewsletter that allows the students to be informed of all the acitivites and events that we are hosting or the ones that are being led by other societies or faculties around Dalhousie. We believe this would be a great way to get more and more students engaged and informed of our events.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.2: Keep the newsletter network posted about E&amp;I related news, events, workshops, competitions etc ==<br /> <br /> We know that a newsletter is a good idae, but having a lot of irrelevant information in there might make people dislike us and stay away. So we believe that we should keep the newsletter &quot;short and sweet&quot;. This means that we will only add relevant and exciting information to the newsletter so studnets actually enjoy reading it and want us to post more.<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.3: Encourage people to sign up and keep reading the newsletter by hosting regular give away draws. ==<br /> <br /> = Strategy #6 – Promote the use of The Collider =<br /> <br /> == Tactic no.1: Hosting regular workshops in order to get students more informed and engaged about E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> As part of our initiative to get more students involved from all faculties, we will be hosting regular events and workshops for students to gain all the skills they need to run a startup.

<p>Canberkbal: </p> <hr /> <div>== About Aristides ==<br /> <br /> [[File:AristidesMilios.jpg|thumb|right|350px]]<br /> <br /> Aristides Milios is a highly motivated university student passionate about entrepreneurship, innovation, and technology. From an early age Aristides loved learning how technology works. At the age of 15, Aristides co-founded a startup with a classmate that aimed to create Google Analytics but for retail stores through wireless beacons that detect phone signals. Becoming enmeshed in the local startup community (and Volta, a local startup house) in Halifax, Aristides's startup Bitness went through the Launch36 and Propel ICT accelerator programs. Through his ties to the Volta community, Aristides and that same classmate jointly co-founded Hoist, a monthly meet for youth interested in technology and entrepreneurship topics. Since beginning university, Aristides's passion has not slowed, with his continued involvement in tech and entrepreneurship on the Dalhousie University campus, where he is studying Computer Science with a minor in Political Science.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Aristides's involvement in the startup community of Atlantic Canada has reached far and wide. Aristides went to the YES Atlantic Conference on Youth Entrepreneurship in New Brunswick and spoke on a panel about his experiences as a young founder. He has helped begin the process to spread Hoist Halifax Canada-wide, starting with the first chapter in the Hoist network, Hoist Annapolis Valley, located in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, the location of Acadia University. He also participated in the Shad Valley program in between the 10th and 11th grades of high school, which cemented his love of all things science, tech and entrepreneurship to an even larger extent. Aristides is also fluently bilingual in English and Greek, being born of Greek parents and having a dual citizenship, with fairly good knowledge of French as well. He is also knowledgeable in the area of web development, from being a freelance web developer &quot;on the side&quot; of his schooling and through being the technical co-founder of his startup. Aristides is also a recipient of the Schulich scholarship at Dalhousie, at a worth of over $40,000 over four years.<br /> <br /> === Links ===<br /> <br /> [http://aristidesmilios.com Personal Website]<br /> <br /> [https://www.linkedin.com/in/aristidesmilios/ LinkedIn]<br /> <br /> = RELATED LINKS&lt;br/&gt; =<br /> <br /> [[Dalhousie University]]<br /> <br /> [[University Innovation Fellows]]<br /> <br /> Fall 2017:<br /> <br /> '''Aristides Milios'''<br /> <br /> [[Canberk Bal|Canberk Bal]]<br /> <br /> Spring 2016:<br /> <br /> [[Yaser Alkayale]]<br /> <br /> [[Séline Dogan]]<br /> <br /> Fall 2015:<br /> <br /> [[Justin Javorek|Justin Javorek]]<br /> <br /> [[Dhruv Bhatia|Dhruv Bhatia]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:StudentContributors|y]]</div>
