==Bio==

Cara Baah-Binney was born in Accra, Ghana but raised in Cincinnati, Ohio; her early exposure to navigating life with conflicting cultural values founded her passion for intercultural competency. Cara is concurrently pursuing her Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering and her Masters of Engineering in Electrical Engineering major at the University of Cincinnati. She has future passions of making an impact in the electronic device industry by innovating energy-efficient devices that are capable of preforming complex tasks with unreliable energy sources.

On her college campus, Cara is a student trustee for the UC Foundation, a Resident Advisor for the Engineering Living Learning Community, an ambassador for the College of Engineering, and she is a member of EnableUC. Outside academics and extracirriculars, Cara has a passion for sociolinguistics as well as social and environmental activism. She can always be found in the plant aisle of Lowe's or shopping for new blankets to add to her burgeoning collection.

Carabinney: /* Focus #1 */

=Overview=

 The University of Cincinnati (UC or Cincinnati) is a public research university in Cincinnati, Ohio. Founded in 1819 as Cincinnati College, it is the oldest institution of higher education in Cincinnati and has an annual enrollment of over 44,000 students, making it the second-largest university in Ohio. It is part of the University System of Ohio. The university has four major campuses with Cincinnati's main campus and medical campus in Clifton Heights and branch campuses in Blue Ash and Clermont.

= 2022 Cohort =

=Focus #1 =

===UCreate===
This project would expose students to what it's like to work on diverse teams for projects around the area. Service hours are something many students require for scholarships but some people struggle to find an opportunity to serve. Students want to work with other people majors from their campus and participate in projects that are applicable to what they want to study. With UCreate, students can work on these projects and have a chance to work with students from other majors; also giving them a chance to see what is possible with their degree.

Key Tactics:

* Students complete a professional personality assessment
* Working outside majors on projects that weren't thought to be possible
* Chance to do roles on a team that they may have never done before
* Increases the community involvement for the Cincinnati area

 

= 2021 Cohort =

=Focus #1 =

===Innovation Passport ===
 This innovation passport would encourage students to explore a program that is outside of their own major. We think that this would be incredibly beneficial as students don't have the time to explore their interests outside of their own majors. We know that students want to learn about all these different opportunities and resources on campus so having an incentivized roadmap to help them get there would be the extra push that is needed. This would also be incredibly beneficial to show a diverse and well-rounded portfolio when students are out looking for outside jobs.

*Find Overlap with existing UC Resources / programs 
*Strongly encourage interdisciplinary work around passions outside of major
*Incentives through BoK equivalent work
*Incentives through Cincinnatus hour earnings
*Integrate system with an existing platform and design interface

=Focus #2 =

===Innovation Teams ===

*Create a matching system to link student with complementary traits 
*Find ways to integrate with existing groups on campus (LCs, Design Chanllenge cohort) 
*Operation system - create feedback mechanism to track the progress of groups, reassign people if groups aren't working 
*Mix of both group and individual activitues to encourage both and collaboration and individual achievement 

=Focus #3 =
===Innovation Micro-Credentials ===

* Find events / classes / programs that can become microcredential activieties.
* Reach out to people on campus who can promote this program
* Find incentives to encourage people to participate (Medals / Cords)
* Decide upon the best subjects to include as mirco-credentials
* Test run micro-credential program with interested students

=Focus #4 =
===Student Project Forum ===

* A place to assemble a team for interdiciplinary work -- find the skills and talents
* Encourage a community of projects and learning
* Design an interface forum
* A place to share successes and ask for advice

=The Innovative Ecosystem at the University of Cincinnati=

==Promoting Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship==
 The University of Cincinnati takes great care to promote student involvement in innovation and entrepreneurship. Thanks to the NEXT Lives Here campaign, the campus is prioritizing innovation now more than ever. Students have the opportunity to choose from over 20 innovation-focused courses, participate in over a dozen different extracurricular groups, and take part in challenges at the 1819 Innovation Hub. Students are also able to attend various workshops and seminars that provide exposure to all the things possible while in college and post grad. Additionally, the university’s awarded co-op program allows students to branch out and pursue innovative ideas at companies across the world. 

==Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship==
 Students are not the only focus of promoting innovation on campus; the university actively encourages faculty members to pursue innovation. As a Research 1 university, the University of Cincinnati takes great pride in its innovative, curious, and creative faculty. UC offers grant writing services to researchers in order to promote entrepreneurial and innovative research, and the university also has positions for entrepreneurs in residence and an endowed chair in entrepreneurship. Several colleges within the University of Cincinnati also offer research grants that faculty within each college are able to apply for.

==Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function==
 UC has strong technology transfer resources that help innovators take their ideas from theory to the real world. The Technology Transfer program in the Office of Innovation supports entrepreneurs by providing resources for every step of development, and the Entrepreneurship and Community Development Clinic helps connect ideas to the surrounding community at large. 

==Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration==
 The University of Cincinnati invented the concept of co-operative education in 1906 and has been working with hundreds of partners in the industry ever since. Students earn a collective $65 million annually from 6,000 placements across the United States and the world in fields ranging from Aerospace Engineering to Industrial Design to Finance. In addition to full length coops, there are now shorter micro coops that connect students with industry partners to collaborate on a project short term.

==Engaging with Regional and Local Economic Development Efforts==
 The University of Cincinnati is strongly connected with local Innovation and Entrepreneurship infrastructure. The Cincinnati Innovation District, an ecosystem of thinkers, researchers, students, and industry is poised to become an innovation hub for the Midwest and will be closely partnered with the university to produce $2bn in research, 20k jobs, and $3b in annual economic impact. The University of Cincinnati is one of the largest employers in the Greater Cincinnati area and, as a result, is a strong driver of economic development in local communities.

Resource talk:How to effectively run a Black Mirror "Ready, Set, Design" workshop

2022-09-07T21:30:57Z

Carabinney:

I think that a Black Mirror "Ready, Set, Design" workshop is an interesting concept. I think that it will help to promote critical thinking skills and overall creativity among students. It will also be a fun activity because it is a popular show that many young people find intriguing. Since the show is so popular, the likelihood of students being disengaged is very low.

This is a unique idea, I love that black mirror is always based in a kernel of real life and distorts one factor until the result is dystopian. The idea of translating that basis in a design workshop is interesting.
