= Overview =

Ohio Northern University is an independent university in Ada, Ohio. ONU is known for their undergraduate education experience with research being the foundation to ONU's experiential education. The unique collaboration between professors and students in research yields countless opportunities for progress, as well as, opportunity for innovation. The two key components missing between the colleges on ONU's campus to catalyze a greater level of innovation and entrepreneurship are communication and collaboration. The following proposed strategies will create a greater awareness of I & E on campus, communication, and collaboration.

= Strategy #1: Create opportunities for efficient communication across campus =

Numerous faculty and students have expressed a lack of a college to college communication which is a large inhibitor to the channel of progress. The colleges should have seamless communication of research, opportunities, and ideas between them leaving an opportunity for multidisciplinary collaboration.

== Tactic #1: Hold Meetings Between Active Professors and Students from all Departments ==

Meeting 1: The first meeting will be just to identify the needs of each college and what they want help accomplishing. We can achieve this by doing brainstorming activities and spending time talking one on one. The most important part of the first meeting is that everyone becomes comfortable identifying the needs and desires of their department. After needs have been identified we can split into groups and all work on solutions to the problems presented

'''Meeting 2: After spending time working on solutions, each group will present their solution to the whole group. This will not only help us fulfill the needs of all departments but it will also build relationships across the college of students and professors from various colleges.'''

= Strategy #2: use interdisciplinary relationships to spread I&E campus wide =

Many students have expressed their desire to actually participate in more activities that provide a greater experience related to not only their major, but other majors as well. The Landscape Canvas revealed current opportunities available for interdisciplinary collaboration through KEEN events, senior capstones, EPICS, and student clubs. The canvas also revealed areas where new opportunities must be created in order to support students in their ideas and untapped potential in innovation. Learning about how to effectively tie in other disciplines on-campus is key to generating momentum needed for innovation.

== Tactic #1: Creating Interdisciplinary workshops/classes ==

Event 1:  In this event professors from different colleges will work together to build the curriculum for a class or workshop. For example, in a drafting class for the technology department a professor might work with a colleague from the art college to learn different techniques of making technical drawings more aesthetically pleasing. The tech college could even have the art professor in to teach on this topic.

== Tactic #2: Encourage more awareness and participation for KEEN Challenges and ION ideation ==

ONU currently hosts KEEN Innovation challenges on a semester basis. The KEEN Challenges are centered on a different challenge each time requiring the application of innovation with the supplied materials students need to complete the presented challenge. The KEEN Innovation challenges are a great introduction to innovation for students on campus. The challenges will be utilized as the gateway for students gaining an understanding of innovation. An ONU group, ION, currently holds Ideation sessions focused on helping students tap into their creative side to design space and furniture for the college. These Ideation sessions can be very helpful in fostering I&E and are severely under utilized.

== Tactic #3: Generating more participation in the EPICS Program by offering general education tags with the course ==

The EPICS program currently allows students to apply engineering principles in community service locally and internationally. But, too often students have to take other courses that will fulfill their general education requirments and will not have the option to take the EPICS course. If these courses could be embedded with interdisciplinary education then General Tags could be created allowing more students to take these courses.

= Strategy #3: Creating how-to events that utilize any resources on campus =

Many students expressed their desire for being more familiar with applications or resources that are available to them. Additionally, students of all majors can partake in these events. For example, a chemistry student interested in engineering could learn about engineering related software applications, theory etc. The goal is to create a program on campus that makes every possible resource available to students. This will make them better equipped to not only exceed the university's standards, but also make great strides in professional experience at an undergraduate level.

== '''Tactic #1: Provide monthly workshops where students can learn about various resources and tools''' ==

These monthly workshops, will teach students about software and resources used for their majors, as well as, software/resources that other majors use. Within these workshops, experiential learning will be the driving force in ensuring that students feel confident enough to take their knowledge to the next step in implementing their ideas to actual projects.

== Tactic #2: Advertising professional speakers at ONU to the student body ==

Countless professionals come to Ohio Northern and speak with students. Often, these speaking events have low turn out. The goal is to get students and faculty together to brainstorm ways in which the vast majority of students will be aware of the speakers and understand the value of these speaking events. This tactic will also be a networking opportunity for both students and professionals.

= Strategy #4: Create a mentor program for the University Innovation Fellows Program on-campus =

== Tactic #1: Connecting current fellows with new students ==

In order to keep the momentum of the University Innovation Fellows Program on-campus, current fellows should have at least one mentee taht is an academic year or more lower than them. In these mentee relationships, it will be the responsibility of the fellow to share knowledge and resources that the underclassman fellow will need to make an impact during their time here, while also keeping the program active.

= Initial Projects of Focus =

As a team, we plan to convert the Tinker Lab into a maker space that is able to not only better serve the engineering students, but also begin serving all students. Additionally, we plan on starting a YouTube channel that highlights the work of innovators and changemakers on campus in order to raise the profile of innovators on campus and to generate excitement for innovation. We plan on creating effective ways for promoting KEEN and exactly what KEEN's goals are. We also hope to promote KEEN events at a greater level. Currently, our campus hosts KEEN Innovation Challenges each semester that introduce students to innovation through a series of new challenges. Secondly, we will work with the T.J. Smull College of Engineering to establish the Grand Challenge Scholars Program on-campus. Currently, the college of engineering has the EPICS program which gives students an opportunity for experiential learning and earn credit towards their coursework. We hope to pair the GCSP with the EPICS  program. We will also conduct research to see if EPICS can be taken by non-engineering majors, as well as, seeing if the EPICS courses can count as a general education requirement that can help students meet their core requirements, while having the opportunity to practice innovation and entrepreneurship. Lastly, We plan on establishing the UIF mentor program to recruit future UIF candidates and ensure that the momentum the University Innovation Fellows Program has on Ohio Northern's campus continues. Once, ONU has a team of UIF fellows from all of the colleges, the other projects mentioned in the previous sections can be enacted.

= '''Promoting Student Innovation & Entrepreneuership''' =

[[File:Dicke College of Business Administration 2.jpg|frame|left]]

ONU seeks to implement opportunities for both new and existing academic program growth. The most recent academic program growth is the recently added entrepreneurship program. The James F. Dicke College of Business Administration offers numerous courses that encourage the learning and application of innovation and entrepreneurship, opening the opportunity for the program to offer an entrepreneurship minor for any major, as well as, an engineering entrepreneurship for engineering majors. 

[[File:Epics-ONU.jpg|border|right|Epics-ONU.jpg]]

Additionally, the T.J. Smull College of Engineering has and is currently working to modify numerous courses, in order to encourage students to develop and demonstrate the entrepreneurial mindset. An example being the Introduction to Engineering classes which incorporate aspects of the different branches of engineering, and teaching students to utilize the knowledge in the poverty alleviation projects. Furthermore, the engineering projects in community service (EPICS) program enables students to apply the engineering knowledge gained within the classroom to communities at the local and international level.

ONU is a member of the Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network. KEEN is a true collective effort of universities that are focused on preparing students to be entrepreneurial and innovative in engineering and technology.  The KEEN Network provides Ohio Northern University grants which are used to sponsor events like the KEEN Challenge and the Polar Elevator Pitch competition, as well as, the entrepreneurship program. Northern’s new entrepreneurship program offers a plethora of opportunities for students of all majors to study, as well as, participate in spurring innovation and creativity beginning on-campus and continuing through to the professional level. ONU recently hired an Industry Liaison through the KEEN grant to foster entrepreneurship and innovation campus wide.

Two on campus events that encourage innovation and entrepreneurship are the Polar Elevator Pitch Competition and the KEEN Innovation Challenge, both of which require the formation and collaboration of student teams of different majors.

[[File:Polar Pitch Elevator Competition.jpg|border|left|Polar Pitch Elevator Competition.jpg]]

The Polar Pitch Competition prompt for students is to: captivate them with your creativity, engage them with your entrepreneurial mindset, and ignite your innovative side. Students from all majors are invited to participate and courses such as Principles of Entrepreneurship and Intro to Engineering 2 require participation within this competition as part of an in class project. The Pitch competition has the following competition categories: ideas that improve society, high-tech commercialized product ideas, as-seen-on TV product ideas, and new business that creates jobs. First place participants win the grand prize and gain the opportunity to receive advice and instruction to take the winning idea from an idea to an actual product to the market.  

[[File:KEEN Innovation Challenge.jpg|border|right|KEEN Innovation Challenge.jpg]]

The second innovative event is the KEEN Innovation Challenge sponsored by the Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network and ONU. The challenge is held on a semester basis, with no two challenges being the same. Teams of three require at least one engineering student. The premise of the challenge is that each team exercise innovation and creativity in the impromptu challenges with a given set of materials.
Two resources that students can utilize on a daily basis are the Machine Shop and Tinker Lab located in the Biggs Engineering Building. The Tinker Lab is a room complete with 3D printers that enable students to print out models of designs and projects.<div> </div>

= '''Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship''' =

One of the key causes for Northern’s reputation for excellence stems from their focus as a school to encourage research and collaboration with professors at an undergraduate level. ONU believes strongly in undergraduate research as the foundation for future success. The undergraduate research and collaboration with professors, spurs innovation. As of recently, with the establishing of the entrepreneurship program by Dr. Tammy Schakett, and the Polar Elevator Pitch competition, students now have the opportunity to discover and practice innovation and entrepreneurship as catalytic pairs.

Recently, the Kern Family awarded a grant of $1.21 million to the T.J. Smull of College of Engineering at ONU to continue in instilling the entrepreneurial mindset in engineering undergraduates from 2015 through 2018. As ONU continues to make strides in creating more opportunities for I & E to be integrated on-campus within the curriculum offerings, the students will not only be prepared to work at the professional level, but also be equipped to setting the innovative and entrpeneurial professional standard in their future careers.

Ohio Northern University is an independent university located in Ada, Ohio. The school has 3,695 students representing 34 states and 25 countries. A trait unique to ONU is the “one to one” relationship between students and professors. The reputation for ONU’s strong bond between the student body and the professors is attributed to the 11:1 student/faculty ratio. Ohio Northern University strives to provide students with the best faculty which is why 83% of ONU’s full time faculty have Ph.D. or terminal degrees. ONU is nationally ranked for the sciences, arts, and professional programs in the following colleges: Arts & Sciences, Business Administration, Engineering, Pharmacy and Law.

= '''Promoting Student Innovation & Entrepreneuership''' =

[[File:Dicke College of Business Administration 2.jpg|frame|left]]

ONU seeks to implement opportunities for both new and existing academic program growth. The most recent academic program growth is the recently added entrepreneurship program. The James F. Dicke College of Business Administration offers numerous courses that encourage the learning and application of innovation and entrepreneurship, opening the opportunity for the program to offer an entrepreneurship minor for any major, as well as, an engineering entrepreneurship for engineering majors. 

[[File:Epics-ONU.jpg|border|right|Epics-ONU.jpg]]

Additionally, the T.J. Smull College of Engineering has and is currently working to modify numerous courses, in order to encourage students to develop and demonstrate the entrepreneurial mindset. An example being the Introduction to Engineering classes which incorporate aspects of the different branches of engineering, and teaching students to utilize the knowledge in the poverty alleviation projects. Furthermore, the engineering projects in community service (EPICS) program enables students to apply the engineering knowledge gained within the classroom to communities at the local and international level.

ONU is a member of the Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network. KEEN is a true collective effort of universities that are focused on preparing students to be entrepreneurial and innovative in engineering and technology.  The KEEN Network provides Ohio Northern University grants which are used to sponsor events like the KEEN Challenge and the Polar Elevator Pitch competition, as well as, the entrepreneurship program. Northern’s new entrepreneurship program offers a plethora of opportunities for students of all majors to study, as well as, participate in spurring innovation and creativity beginning on-campus and continuing through to the professional level. ONU recently hired an Industry Liaison through the KEEN grant to foster entrepreneurship and innovation campus wide.

Two on campus events that encourage innovation and entrepreneurship are the Polar Elevator Pitch Competition and the KEEN Innovation Challenge, both of which require the formation and collaboration of student teams of different majors.

[[File:Polar Pitch Elevator Competition.jpg|border|left|Polar Pitch Elevator Competition.jpg]]

The Polar Pitch Competition prompt for students is to: captivate them with your creativity, engage them with your entrepreneurial mindset, and ignite your innovative side. Students from all majors are invited to participate and courses such as Principles of Entrepreneurship and Intro to Engineering 2 require participation within this competition as part of an in class project. The Pitch competition has the following competition categories: ideas that improve society, high-tech commercialized product ideas, as-seen-on TV product ideas, and new business that creates jobs. First place participants win the grand prize and gain the opportunity to receive advice and instruction to take the winning idea from an idea to an actual product to the market.  

[[File:KEEN Innovation Challenge.jpg|border|right|KEEN Innovation Challenge.jpg]]

The second innovative event is the KEEN Innovation Challenge sponsored by the Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network and ONU. The challenge is held on a semester basis, with no two challenges being the same. Teams of three require at least one engineering student. The premise of the challenge is that each team exercise innovation and creativity in the impromptu challenges with a given set of materials.
Two resources that students can utilize on a daily basis are the Machine Shop and Tinker Lab located in the Biggs Engineering Building. The Tinker Lab is a room complete with 3D printers that enable students to print out models of designs and projects.<div> </div>

= '''Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship''' =

One of the key causes for Northern’s reputation for excellence stems from their focus as a school to encourage research and collaboration with professors at an undergraduate level. ONU believes strongly in undergraduate research as the foundation for future success. The undergraduate research and collaboration with professors, spurs innovation. As of recently, with the establishing of the entrepreneurship program by Dr. Tammy Schakett, and the Polar Elevator Pitch competition, students now have the opportunity to discover and practice innovation and entrepreneurship as catalytic pairs.

Recently, the Kern Family awarded a grant of $1.21 million to the T.J. Smull of College of Engineering at ONU to continue in instilling the entrepreneurial mindset in engineering undergraduates from 2015 through 2018. As ONU continues to make strides in creating more opportunities for I & E to be integrated on-campus within the curriculum offerings, the students will not only be prepared to work at the professional level, but also be equipped to setting the innovative and entrpeneurial professional standard in their future careers.

[[File:Dicke College of Business Administration 2.jpg|frame|left]]

ONU seeks to implement opportunities for both new and existing academic program growth. The most recent academic program growth is the recently added entrepreneurship program. The James F. Dicke College of Business Administration offers numerous courses that encourage the learning and application of innovation and entrepreneurship, opening the opportunity for the program to offer an entrepreneurship minor for any major, as well as, an engineering entrepreneurship for engineering majors. 

[[File:Epics-ONU.jpg|border|right|Epics-ONU.jpg]]

Additionally, the T.J. Smull College of Engineering has and is currently working to modify numerous courses, in order to encourage students to develop and demonstrate the entrepreneurial mindset. An example being the Introduction to Engineering classes which incorporate aspects of the different branches of engineering, and teaching students to utilize the knowledge in the poverty alleviation projects. Furthermore, the engineering projects in community service (EPICS) program enables students to apply the engineering knowledge gained within the classroom to communities at the local and international level.

ONU is a member of the Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network. KEEN is a true collective effort of universities that are focused on preparing students to be entrepreneurial and innovative in engineering and technology.  The KEEN Network provides Ohio Northern University grants which are used to sponsor events like the KEEN Challenge and the Polar Elevator Pitch competition, as well as, the entrepreneurship program. Northern’s new entrepreneurship program offers a plethora of opportunities for students of all majors to study, as well as, participate in spurring innovation and creativity beginning on-campus and continuing through to the professional level. ONU recently hired an Industry Liaison through the KEEN grant to foster entrepreneurship and innovation campus wide.

Two on campus events that encourage innovation and entrepreneurship are the Polar Elevator Pitch Competition and the KEEN Innovation Challenge, both of which require the formation and collaboration of student teams of different majors.

[[File:Polar Pitch Elevator Competition.jpg|border|left|Polar Pitch Elevator Competition.jpg]]

The Polar Pitch Competition prompt for students is to: captivate them with your creativity, engage them with your entrepreneurial mindset, and ignite your innovative side. Students from all majors are invited to participate and courses such as Principles of Entrepreneurship and Intro to Engineering 2 require participation within this competition as part of an in class project. The Pitch competition has the following competition categories: ideas that improve society, high-tech commercialized product ideas, as-seen-on TV product ideas, and new business that creates jobs. First place participants win the grand prize and gain the opportunity to receive advice and instruction to take the winning idea from an idea to an actual product to the market.  

[[File:KEEN Innovation Challenge.jpg|border|right|KEEN Innovation Challenge.jpg]]

The second innovative event is the KEEN Innovation Challenge sponsored by the Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network and ONU. The challenge is held on a semester basis, with no two challenges being the same. Teams of three require at least one engineering student. The premise of the challenge is that each team exercise innovation and creativity in the impromptu challenges with a given set of materials.
Two resources that students can utilize on a daily basis are the Machine Shop and Tinker Lab located in the Biggs Engineering Building. The Tinker Lab is a room complete with 3D printers that enable students to print out models of designs and projects.<div> </div>

One of the key causes for Northern’s reputation for excellence stems from their focus as a school to encourage research and collaboration with professors at an undergraduate level. ONU believes strongly in undergraduate research as the foundation for future success. The undergraduate research and collaboration with professors, spurs innovation. As of recently, with the establishing of the entrepreneurship program by Dr. Tammy Schakett, and the Polar Elevator Pitch competition, students now have the opportunity to discover and practice innovation and entrepreneurship as catalytic pairs.

Recently, the Kern Family awarded a grant of $1.21 million to the T.J. Smull of College of Engineering at ONU to continue in instilling the entrepreneurial mindset in engineering undergraduates from 2015 through 2018. As ONU continues to make strides in creating more opportunities for I & E to be integrated on-campus within the curriculum offerings, the students will not only be prepared to work at the professional level, but also be equipped to setting the innovative and entrpeneurial professional standard in their future careers.

Resource:How to organize a Makeathon

2017-01-06T02:02:07Z

Cheyenneraker24:

== Introduction ==

Makeathons are an excellent way of collaborating with students from all around campus in different majors. It enables them to use their creativity to innovate and explore new ideas that they may have. It is a competition, but it is focused on learning rather than winning. Its purpose is to help students gain experience with the process of design and the use of equipment that they would normally miss out on in the classroom. 

== Goals  ==

To run a successful Makeathon, several goals should be outlined. What are you trying to accomplish and why? 

*Develop passion and hands on skills with tools and other machinery
*Connect with resources and other participants
*Invest in people
*Have a good experience and want participants to come back the next year to mentor/help
*Have it be less about competition, but more about learning, forming relationships, and having fun
*Gather a diversity of students across all majors 
*Safety
*Funding

== Where To Begin ==

There is a lot of planning that needs to happen beforehand and as well as a number of factors to take into consideration.

Funding and Advertising

In order to cover the costs of all supplies and other equipment tools, there must be sponsors. A good route to take is looking at Kent State in Ohio's Fashion Tech Hackathon and to have tiers as sponsors. Target is also another good option. It can be expensive, depending on the number of people you expect to be attending, which is why advertising is so crucial. There should be enough supplies for all participants, not too little and not too much. It should be done in several different ways to achieve the best outcome.

*Use Eventbrite for tickets and also keep track of how many are officially attending
*Advertise for a long period of time to gain more participants
*Spread by word of mouth
*Make posters around campus size 11x17
*Create facebook event and use money to spread word
*Class visits 
*Email professors of relevant classes

 Rules

*Experience not required, all makers welcome
*Teams allowed in without an idea
*Must be a student attending the school (liability issue otherwise)
*Must attend a safety training during the event
*Sign informal waiver (power tools, safety, etc.)

 Create Theme

*"Grand Challenges" - worlds biggest problems
*Keep it open ended enough so that participants can make anything that they want without too many restrictions

 Where The Session Should be Located

*Makerlab
*Big open area
*Lots of rooom for tables and chairs and power equipment

 Materials Needed

*Pipe cleaners
*Craft supplies
*Duct tape
*Spray paint
*Wood/metal/plastic stock
*Hardware/fasteners
*Faculty mentors
*Hand power tools
*3D printers
*Large machining equipment (CNC's, lathes...)

== Running the Makeathon ==

To have it run as smoothly and as successful as possible, a good schedule should be planned so that there is enough time for the participants to think, plan, build and present their ideas in front of the judges. 

Dates and Times

*Weekend long (Friday - Saturday or Sunday)
*Give them an open ended task, dont make anything too specific, let them build anything they want to!
*Friday - form teams, mingling, music, food, meet new people, brainstorm, learn prompt, choose what they build
*Saturday - mentors/professors help with the build, student volunteers tell them where supplies located, judging takes place at end of day
*Allow enough time for prototyping and brainstorming

Judging

Two different types of judging can be done, depending on your preference.

*Students create 5 powerpoint slides based on a template and then present in front of the judges

#Context
#Need Statement
#How solution addresses the problem
#What you did this weekend
#Free Slide

*There will be a vote for the crowd favorite

A few things to also take into consideration. Who will be the judges(if you choose to go with the powerpoint option) and what will the prize be(or will there even be a prize)? It should be noted that, usually, a competition like this without a big prize will attract more students because they are more interested about learning than winning.

== Continuing Their Ideas ==

What happens after the Makeathon is over? If particpants enjoyed it, let them know what kinds of classes they should think about taking in the future to pursue their passions. Students should be given advice and help on what their next steps should be. It'll benefit them, and make them want to come back again next year.

*Spray paint
*Wood/metal/plastic stock
*Hardware/fasteners
*Faculty mentors
*Hand power tools
*3D printers
*Large machining equipment (CNC's, lathes...)

== Running the Makeathon ==

To have it run as smoothly and as successful as possible, a good schedule should be planned so that there is enough time for the participants to think, plan, build and present their ideas in front of the judges. 

Dates and Times

*Weekend long (Friday - Saturday or Sunday)
*Give them an open ended task, dont make anything too specific, let them build anything they want to!
*Friday - form teams, mingling, music, food, meet new people, brainstorm, learn prompt, choose what they build
*Saturday - mentors/professors help with the build, student volunteers tell them where supplies located, judging takes place at end of day
*Allow enough time for prototyping and brainstorming

Judging

Two different types of judging can be done, depending on your preference.

*Students create 5 powerpoint slides based on a template and then present in front of the judges

#Context
#Need Statement
#How solution addresses the problem
#What you did this weekend
#Free Slide

*There will be a vote for the crowd favorite

A few things to also take into consideration. Who will be the judges(if you choose to go with the powerpoint option) and what will the prize be(or will there even be a prize)? It should be noted that, usually, a competition like this without a big prize will attract more students because they are more interested about learning than winning.

== Continuing Their Ideas ==

What happens after the Makeathon is over? If particpants enjoyed it, let them know what kinds of classes they should think about taking in the future to pursue their passions. Students should be given advice and help on what their next steps should be. It'll benefit them, and make them want to come back again next year.

== Introduction ==

Makeathons are an excellent way of collaborating with students from all around campus in different majors. It enables them to use their creativity to innovate and explore new ideas that they may have. It is a competition, but it is focused on learning rather than winning. Its purpose is to help students gain experience with the process of design and the use of equipment that they would normally miss out on in the classroom. 

== Goals  ==

To run a successful Makeathon, several goals should be outlined. What are you trying to accomplish and why? 

*Develop passion and hands on skills with tools and other machinery
*Connect with resources and other participants
*Invest in people
*Have a good experience and want participants to come back the next year to mentor/help
*Have it be less about competition, but more about learning, forming relationships, and having fun
*Gather a diversity of students across all majors 
*Safety
*Funding

== Where To Begin ==

There is a lot of planning that needs to happen beforehand and as well as a number of factors to take into consideration.

Funding and Advertising

In order to cover the costs of all supplies and other equipment tools, there must be sponsors. A good route to take is looking at Kent State in Ohio's Fashion Tech Hackathon and to have tiers as sponsors. Target is also another good option. It can be expensive, depending on the number of people you expect to be attending, which is why advertising is so crucial. There should be enough supplies for all participants, not too little and not too much. It should be done in several different ways to achieve the best outcome.

*Use Eventbrite for tickets and also keep track of how many are officially attending
*Advertise for a long period of time to gain more participants
*Spread by word of mouth
*Make posters around campus size 11x17
*Create facebook event and use money to spread word
*Class visits 
*Email professors of relevant classes

 Rules

*Experience not required, all makers welcome
*Teams allowed in without an idea
*Must be a student attending the school (liability issue otherwise)
*Must attend a safety training during the event
*Sign informal waiver (power tools, safety, etc.)

 Create Theme

*"Grand Challenges" - worlds biggest problems
*Keep it open ended enough so that participants can make anything that they want without too many restrictions

 Where The Session Should be Located

*Makerlab
*Big open area
*Lots of rooom for tables and chairs and power equipment

 Materials Needed

*Pipe cleaners
*Craft supplies
*Duct tape
*Spray paint
*Wood/metal/plastic stock
*Hardware/fasteners
*Faculty mentors
*Hand power tools
*3D printers
*Large machining equipment (CNC's, lathes...)

Fellow:Cheyenne Raker

2017-01-06T01:36:57Z

Cheyenneraker24:

Cheyenne is a junior at Ohio Northern University (ONU) studying mechanical engineering along with art. Her focus is centered around product [[File:Cheyenne Raker.jpeg|thumb|Cheyenne Raker.jpeg]]design and development. She has had two completely different co-op opportunities at Kokosing Industrial and Crown Equipment during the summer of her freshman and sophomore year which led to her realization of why becoming a Fellow would be so worthwhile. She has a love for creatively thinking of new ideas to alleviate some of the everyday struggles we encounter and she felt that this would be an opportunity she could not pass up.

From a very young age, she has always been curious about the world around her. She always wondered why things worked the way they did or how its simply made. Whenever she thought of an improvement to an original design, she would sketch out ideas on paper or simply just write them down for future reference. Being involved in art classes throughout her life has also influenced her creativity and inventiveness. Cheyenne can make any idea come to life with her artistic talent and hands on abilities.

At Ohio Northern, Cheyenne participates in varsity women's basketball, serves as a member of the Dean's team, and was heavily involved in an organization named ION (Innovators of Ohio Northern) that completely renovated the First Year Engineering Design Studio on campus through a rigorous design process. This is where she met one of the fellows (Alexandra Seda) and became interested in learning more about the program because she realized, throughout the renovation, this is what excites her and it is everything she has been looking for.

== ""Introduction"" ==

Makeathons are an excellent way of collaborating with students from all around campus in different majors. It enables them to use their creativity to innovate and explore new ideas that they may have. It is a competition, but it is focused on learning rather than winning. Its purpose is to help students gain experience with the process of design and the use of equipment that they would normally miss out on in the classroom. 

== '''Goals for Makeathon''' ==

*Develop passion and hands on skills with tools and other machinery
*Connect with resources and other participants invest in people have a good experience and want to come back the next year to mentor/help
*less about competition, more about learning/form relationships/have fun
*Diversity of Students across all majors get faculty and admin to advertise to students
*Safety
*Funding
*Advice/realization next steps for courses to take and professors to talk to

== Where To Begin ==

Funding

*Supplies and other equipment tools

 Advertising

*Use Eventbrite for tickets
*Advertise for a long period of time=more participants
*Spread word of mouth
*Make posters around campus 11x17
*Create facebook event, use money to spread word
*Class vistis
*Email professors of relevant classes

 Rules

*Experience not required, all makers welcome
*Teams allowed in without an idea
*Must be a student attending our school (liability issue otherwise)
*Must attend a safety training during the event
*Sign informal waiver (power tools, safety, etc.)

Growing up, I have always had a passion for inventing things and I was always curious about the world around me (how did these things work and why?). [[File:Cheyenne Raker.jpeg|thumb]]This is what led me into my major and my minor as well. Drawing, painting, and crafting is my one hobby that I love to do because it gives me the freedom to make whatever I want without any restrictions. It opens up my mind from the everyday equations and problems in the classroom and allows my creativity to grow. I also thoroughly enjoy exercising. It is an excellent stress reliever and it builds character. What better feeling is there knowing you can work hard at something and finally seeing results? It makes you want to push even harder and see how far you can really go.

Cheyenne is a junior at Ohio Northern University (ONU) studying mechanical engineering along with art. Her focus is centered around product [[File:Cheyenne Raker.jpeg|thumb]]design and development. She has had two completely different co-op opportunities at Kokosing Industrial and Crown Equipment during the summer of her freshman and sophomore year which led to her realization of why becoming a Fellow would be so worthwhile. She has a love for creatively thinking of new ideas to alleviate some of the everyday struggles we encounter and she felt that this would be an opportunity she could not pass up.

From a very young age, she has always been curious about the world around her. She always wondered why things worked the way they did or how its simply made. Whenever she thought of an improvement to an original design, she would sketch out ideas on paper or simply just write them down for future reference. Being involved in art classes throughout her life has also influenced her creativity and inventiveness. Cheyenne can make any idea come to life with her artistic talent and hands on abilities.

At Ohio Northern, Cheyenne participates in varsity women's basketball, serves as a member of the Dean's team, and was heavily involved in an organization named ION (Innovators of Ohio Northern) that completely renovated the First Year Engineering Design Studio on campus through a rigorous design process. This is where she met one of the fellows (Alexandra Seda) and became interested in learning more about the program because she realized, throughout the renovation, this is what excites her and it is everything she has been looking for.

Cheyenne is a junior at Ohio Northern University (ONU) studying mechanical engineering along with art. Her focus is centered around product [[File:Cheyenne Raker.jpeg|thumb]]design and development. She has had two completely different co-op opportunities at Kokosing Industrial and Crown Equipment during the summer of her freshman and sophomore year which led to her realization of why becoming a Fellow would be so worthwhile. She has a love for creatively thinking of new ideas to alleviate some of the everyday struggles we encounter and she felt that this would be an opportunity she could not pass up.

From a very young age, she has always been curious about the world around her. She always wondered why things worked the way they did or how its simply made. Whenever she thought of an improvement to an original design, she would sketch out ideas on paper or simply just write them down for future reference. Being involved in art classes throughout her life has also influenced her creativity and inventiveness. Cheyenne can make any idea come to life with her artistic talent and hands on abilities.
