The multidisciplinary IPRO team project course experience is offered via three platforms that provide students a variety of choices that tap their passion and disciplinary knowledge. IPRO projects also offer sponsors, community partners and other collaborators customized approaches to accommodate their interests. All three IPRO platforms are designed to achieve the same learning objectives and serve our undergraduate students in fulfilling their two-IPRO six-credit-hour general education requirement. At the traditional end of semester IPRO Day event, IPRO teams from all platforms exhibit their work for the semester, with variations in how teams from different platforms are evaluated.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">The interprofessional projects program at IIT gives students of all disciplines the opportunity to apply innovative skills to team based project experience. Students also get the chance to display their projects to the public at the IPRO fair during IPRO day each semester.

The multidisciplinary IPRO team project course experience is offered via three platforms that provide students a variety of choices that tap their passion and disciplinary knowledge. IPRO projects also offer sponsors, community partners and other collaborators customized approaches to accommodate their interests. All three IPRO platforms are designed to achieve the same learning objectives and serve our undergraduate students in fulfilling their two-IPRO six-credit-hour general education requirement. At the traditional end of semester IPRO Day event, IPRO teams from all platforms exhibit their work for the semester, with variations in how teams from different platforms are evaluated.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">The interprofessional projects program at IIT gives students of all disciplines the opportunity to apply innovative skills to team based project experience. Students also get the chance to display their projects to the public at the IPRO fair during IPRO day each semester. Even students from other universities can join in on IPRO day and showcase their projects for potential cash or recognition from a presentation. In terms of entrepreneurship, there's even an option for entrepreneurial IPRO projects. This program strongly encourages entrepreneurship as it encourages students to set their ideas out into the real world while developing a model for their project.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Links to Additional Resources:</span></span><br /> <ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49">[http://ipro.iit.edu/ <span style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">IIT IPRO</span>]</span></li><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49">[http://ipro.iit.edu/wp-content/uploads/IPRO-Brochure1.pdf <span style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">IPRO Brochure</span>]</span></li><br /> </ul><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">The Idea Shop</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Idea Shop is an exciting new facility developed in 2010 by IIT.

The multidisciplinary IPRO team project course experience is offered via three platforms that provide students a variety of choices that tap their passion and disciplinary knowledge. IPRO projects also offer sponsors, community partners and other collaborators customized approaches to accommodate their interests. All three IPRO platforms are designed to achieve the same learning objectives and serve our undergraduate students in fulfilling their two-IPRO six-credit-hour general education requirement. At the traditional end of semester IPRO Day event, IPRO teams from all platforms exhibit their work for the semester, with variations in how teams from different platforms are evaluated.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">The interprofessional projects program at IIT gives students of all disciplines the opportunity to apply innovative skills to team based project experience. Students also get the chance to display their projects to the public at the IPRO fair during IPRO day each semester. Even students from other universities can join in on IPRO day and showcase their projects for potential cash or recognition from a presentation. In terms of entrepreneurship, there's even an option for entrepreneurial IPRO projects. This program strongly encourages entrepreneurship as it encourages students to set their ideas out into the real world while developing a model for their project.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Links to Additional Resources:</span></span><br /> <ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49">[http://ipro.iit.edu/ <span style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">IIT IPRO</span>]</span></li><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49">[http://ipro.iit.edu/wp-content/uploads/IPRO-Brochure1.pdf <span style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">IPRO Brochure</span>]</span></li><br /> </ul><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">The Idea Shop</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Idea Shop is an exciting new facility developed in 2010 by IIT.

The multidisciplinary IPRO team project course experience is offered via three platforms that provide students a variety of choices that tap their passion and disciplinary knowledge. IPRO projects also offer sponsors, community partners and other collaborators customized approaches to accommodate their interests. All three IPRO platforms are designed to achieve the same learning objectives and serve our undergraduate students in fulfilling their two-IPRO six-credit-hour general education requirement. At the traditional end of semester IPRO Day event, IPRO teams from all platforms exhibit their work for the semester, with variations in how teams from different platforms are evaluated.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">The interprofessional projects program at IIT gives students of all disciplines the opportunity to apply innovative skills to team based project experience. Students also get the chance to display their projects to the public at the IPRO fair during IPRO day each semester. Even students from other universities can join in on IPRO day and showcase their projects for potential cash or recognition from a presentation. In terms of entrepreneurship, there's even an option for entrepreneurial IPRO projects. This program strongly encourages entrepreneurship as it encourages students to set their ideas out into the real world while developing a model for their project.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Links to Additional Resources:</span></span><br /> <ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49">[http://ipro.iit.edu/ <span style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">IIT IPRO</span>]</span></li><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49">[http://ipro.iit.edu/wp-content/uploads/IPRO-Brochure1.pdf <span style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">IPRO Brochure</span>]</span></li><br /> </ul><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">The Idea Shop</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Idea Shop is an exciting new facility developed in 2010 by IIT.

The multidisciplinary IPRO team project course experience is offered via three platforms that provide students a variety of choices that tap their passion and disciplinary knowledge. IPRO projects also offer sponsors, community partners and other collaborators customized approaches to accommodate their interests. All three IPRO platforms are designed to achieve the same learning objectives and serve our undergraduate students in fulfilling their two-IPRO six-credit-hour general education requirement. At the traditional end of semester IPRO Day event, IPRO teams from all platforms exhibit their work for the semester, with variations in how teams from different platforms are evaluated.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">The interprofessional projects program at IIT gives students of all disciplines the opportunity to apply innovative skills to team based project experience. Students also get the chance to display their projects to the public at the IPRO fair during IPRO day each semester. Even students from other universities can join in on IPRO day and showcase their projects for potential cash or recognition from a presentation. In terms of entrepreneurship, there's even an option for entrepreneurial IPRO projects. This program strongly encourages entrepreneurship as it encourages students to set their ideas out into the real world while developing a model for their project.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Links to Additional Resources:</span></span><br /> <ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49">[http://ipro.iit.edu/ <span style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">IIT IPRO</span>]</span></li><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49">[http://ipro.iit.edu/wp-content/uploads/IPRO-Brochure1.pdf <span style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">IPRO Brochure</span>]</span></li><br /> </ul><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">The Idea Shop</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Idea Shop is an exciting new facility developed in 2010 by IIT.

The multidisciplinary IPRO team project course experience is offered via three platforms that provide students a variety of choices that tap their passion and disciplinary knowledge. IPRO projects also offer sponsors, community partners and other collaborators customized approaches to accommodate their interests. All three IPRO platforms are designed to achieve the same learning objectives and serve our undergraduate students in fulfilling their two-IPRO six-credit-hour general education requirement.

In terms of entrepreneurship, there's even an option for entrepreneurial IPRO projects. This program strongly encourages entrepreneurship as it encourages students to set their ideas out into the real world while developing a model for their project.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Links to Additional Resources:</span></span><br /> <ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49">[http://ipro.iit.edu/ <span style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">IIT IPRO</span>]</span></li><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49">[http://ipro.iit.edu/wp-content/uploads/IPRO-Brochure1.pdf <span style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">IPRO Brochure</span>]</span></li><br /> </ul><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">The Idea Shop</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Idea Shop is an exciting new facility developed in 2010 by IIT.

The multidisciplinary IPRO team project course experience is offered via three platforms that provide students a variety of choices that tap their passion and disciplinary knowledge. IPRO projects also offer sponsors, community partners and other collaborators customized approaches to accommodate their interests. All three IPRO platforms are designed to achieve the same learning objectives and serve our undergraduate students in fulfilling their two-IPRO six-credit-hour general education requirement. At the traditional end of semester IPRO Day event, IPRO teams from all platforms exhibit their work for the semester, with variations in how teams from different platforms are evaluated.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">The interprofessional projects program at IIT gives students of all disciplines the opportunity to apply innovative skills to team based project experience. Students also get the chance to display their projects to the public at the IPRO fair during IPRO day each semester. Even students from other universities can join in on IPRO day and showcase their projects for potential cash or recognition from a presentation. In terms of entrepreneurship, there's even an option for entrepreneurial IPRO projects. This program strongly encourages entrepreneurship as it encourages students to set their ideas out into the real world while developing a model for their project.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Links to Additional Resources:</span></span><br /> <ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49">[http://ipro.iit.edu/ <span style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">IIT IPRO</span>]</span></li><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49">[http://ipro.iit.edu/wp-content/uploads/IPRO-Brochure1.pdf <span style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">IPRO Brochure</span>]</span></li><br /> </ul><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">The Idea Shop</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Idea Shop is an exciting new facility developed in 2010 by IIT.

In terms of entrepreneurship, there's even an option for entrepreneurial IPRO projects. This program strongly encourages entrepreneurship as it encourages students to set their ideas out into the real world while developing a model for their project.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Links to Additional Resources:</span></span><br /> <ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49">[http://ipro.iit.edu/ <span style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">IIT IPRO</span>]</span></li><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49">[http://ipro.iit.edu/wp-content/uploads/IPRO-Brochure1.pdf <span style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">IPRO Brochure</span>]</span></li><br /> </ul><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">The Idea Shop</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Idea Shop is an exciting new facility developed in 2010 by IIT.

The multidisciplinary IPRO team project course experience is offered via three platforms that provide students a variety of choices that tap their passion and disciplinary knowledge. IPRO projects also offer sponsors, community partners and other collaborators customized approaches to accommodate their interests. All three IPRO platforms are designed to achieve the same learning objectives and serve our undergraduate students in fulfilling their two-IPRO six-credit-hour general education requirement. At the traditional end of semester IPRO Day event, IPRO teams from all platforms exhibit their work for the semester, with variations in how teams from different platforms are evaluated.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">The interprofessional projects program at IIT gives students of all disciplines the opportunity to apply innovative skills to team based project experience. Students also get the chance to display their projects to the public at the IPRO fair during IPRO day each semester. Even students from other universities can join in on IPRO day and showcase their projects for potential cash or recognition from a presentation. In terms of entrepreneurship, there's even an option for entrepreneurial IPRO projects. This program strongly encourages entrepreneurship as it encourages students to set their ideas out into the real world while developing a model for their project.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Links to Additional Resources:</span></span><br /> <ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49">[http://ipro.iit.edu/ <span style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">IIT IPRO</span>]</span></li><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49">[http://ipro.iit.edu/wp-content/uploads/IPRO-Brochure1.pdf <span style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">IPRO Brochure</span>]</span></li><br /> </ul><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">The Idea Shop</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Idea Shop is an exciting new facility developed in 2010 by IIT.

The multidisciplinary IPRO team project course experience is offered via three platforms that provide students a variety of choices that tap their passion and disciplinary knowledge.

The multidisciplinary IPRO team project course experience is offered via three platforms that provide students a variety of choices that tap their passion and disciplinary knowledge. IPRO projects also offer sponsors, community partners and other collaborators customized approaches to accommodate their interests. All three IPRO platforms are designed to achieve the same learning objectives and serve our undergraduate students in fulfilling their two-IPRO six-credit-hour general education requirement. At the traditional end of semester IPRO Day event, IPRO teams from all platforms exhibit their work for the semester, with variations in how teams from different platforms are evaluated.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">The interprofessional projects program at IIT gives students of all disciplines the opportunity to apply innovative skills to team based project experience. Students also get the chance to display their projects to the public at the IPRO fair during IPRO day each semester. Even students from other universities can join in on IPRO day and showcase their projects for potential cash or recognition from a presentation. In terms of entrepreneurship, there's even an option for entrepreneurial IPRO projects. This program strongly encourages entrepreneurship as it encourages students to set their ideas out into the real world while developing a model for their project.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Links to Additional Resources:</span></span><br /> <ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49">[http://ipro.iit.edu/ <span style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">IIT IPRO</span>]</span></li><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49">[http://ipro.iit.edu/wp-content/uploads/IPRO-Brochure1.pdf <span style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">IPRO Brochure</span>]</span></li><br /> </ul><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c48b49e8-38f4-2bfe-453e-535e43bbec49"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">The Idea Shop</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Idea Shop is an exciting new facility developed in 2010 by IIT.

Callie was born in Stanford, California were she grew very fond of palm trees, ideal weather, and interesting neighbors. She moved to Chicago 12 years ago and has since developed an interest in running. She has been involved with cross-country running for many years, and has gained skills in teamwork and self-discipline while creating new friendships. Her friendships have taught her to identify her strengths and weaknesses. Being on the running team became an integral part of her life as she learned to follow other people and acknowledge everybody’s’ unique abilities and experiences. Callie also currently enjoys community work and regularly helps out at a food drive, and is an Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority member. She became interested in engineering from her creative pursuits and long-time interest in science and technology. What got her interested in science and technology was her curious habit of reading science magazines and fascination with outer space. Callie is also an anime fan and avid puzzle doer. Callie is also highly interested in world events and enjoys watching the news and reading through news articles. She is also often engaged with IPad and video games in her free time. She also finds enjoyment in making creative pictures for friends and family. Callie is very excited to pursue her interests and ambitions in a career related to space systems. She hopes to make a lasting positive impact as a university innovation fellow. Callie feels like the University Innovation Fellows program is giving her the chance to think outside of the box in terms of finding ways to make a lasting impact with finding appealing and engaging new ways to form an entreprenruial mindset community through the campus. Whether this is a new network, idea pool, communication platform, a hands-on scenario based class, or even a workshop giving students a preview of the future of design and innovation. &nbsp;The ultimate goal of her project as a team is to find a way to develop a bridge from college to real-life for students with entreprenurial passions, and to make this transition easy with an extensive variety of experience opportunities open to students of all disciplines.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> Related links<br /> <br /> Business canvas model template:<br /> <br /> [https://docs.google.com/a/hawk.iit.edu/drawings/d/1Kt-2KgUkNF42B37X0aLNKY1tUe3KL1nYScSrMDiLZM4/edit https://docs.google.com/a/hawk.iit.edu/drawings/d/1Kt-2KgUkNF42B37X0aLNKY1tUe3KL1nYScSrMDiLZM4/edit]<br /> <br /> Student priorities page:<br /> <br /> [https://docs.google.com/a/hawk.iit.edu/document/d/1GJliNtEJ3H11lnx_f-j8vgbxE9oPCZp74dmN2RSL2fc/edit#heading=h.ve3t9gbvipfj https://docs.google.com/a/hawk.iit.edu/document/d/1GJliNtEJ3H11lnx_f-j8vgbxE9oPCZp74dmN2RSL2fc/edit#heading=h.ve3t9gbvipfj]<br /> <br /> Oped final opinion draft<br /> <br /> [https://novoed.com/epicenter-uif-spring-2015/topics/42435 https://novoed.com/epicenter-uif-spring-2015/topics/42435]<br /> <br /> Campus overview page<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Illinois_Institute_of_Technology http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Illinois_Institute_of_Technology]<br /> <br /> Project pitch video:<br /> <br /> [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtdLLHRVGPA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtdLLHRVGPA]</div>
