I have wanted to be a pilot since I was 13 years old.  No one in my family works in the aviation industry, and I did not know of anyone that was.  I realized that flying involved everything in life that I truly enjoyed and decided to chase after it relentlessly.  My parents were not on board with my plan and I had no knowledge of how I would begin my training, or where to start.  I reached out to my local air center and people in my community who had flying experience.  I researched university flight programs and military options to determine the best path for myself academically, and studied early on to prepare myself for this new field. I scheduled my first flight during my senior year of high school, and confirmed that dream I had five years ago.  It was not easy being introduced into a such new environment, especially one that is so incredibly male dominated.  I became a University Innovation Fellow to create the mindset that new dreams are not so unattainable.  I want to invoke the concept of individuality to new generations, hoping to create a drive and determination to test limits and personal boundaries despite the hesitation of others.  With women especially, I strive to become an example of confidence and equality in a male dominated career.  I strongly believe that passion drives innovation, and plan on using this idea as a catalyst for change in my community.</div>

== '''<span dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:medium;">Introduction to The Innovation Week ''(Abdulwahab)''</span></span>''' ==

<font size="3">The innovation week is a week during the school year full of events related to Innovation and Entrepreneurship. It focuses on the 80/20 approach which is based on 20% self contribution to generate 80% of outcome; in other words, the organizers do not need to create the entire activities and events in the innovation week. This goal can be achieved by contributing with different parties who share the same interest of helping the students gain most necessary skills and knowledge of I&E and its importance in the 21st century.</font>

== '''<span dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:medium;">Goals ''(Vishunpriya)''</span></span>''' ==
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">Our main objective is to empower students with </span><span style="font-size: medium;">innovation and entrepreneurship mindset and skills in a week full of fun and enrichment activities.</span></div><div><span style="font-size:medium;">Setting goals means that they must be powerful and S.M.A.R.T:</span></div>
*<span style="font-size:medium;">S- specific</span>

*<span style="font-size:medium;">A- achievable</span>
*<span style="font-size:medium;">R- relevant</span>
*<span style="font-size:medium;">T- time based</span>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">The goals must be well defined and clearly stated at the first stage of planning the innovation week. Since a precise</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> target makes it easier to get the results you want. Also, make each goal a positive statement of success. Explore y</span><span style="font-size: medium;">our campus since it might have other groups who have the same goals and form partnerships with them. </span><span style="font-size: medium;">Partnering with other groups, can divide the workload or get more mileage out of the work that you do.</span></div>
== '''<span dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:medium;">Logistics ''(Rianne)''</span></span>'''<br/> ==

<font size="3">Logistics is an aspect that will take up a lot of time when planning an innovation week. </font><span style="font-size: medium;">You will need to be very careful in planning everything. The more secure you set it up, the easier it will be to define a budget. However, make sure that when you ask people to speak at your event that it is clear that you can't set everything in stone yet. After you have an approved budget and all costs are approved by your sponsors, you can start with the definite planning. This will be a lot easier since you now can make fixed appointments.</span>

== '''<span dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:medium;">Audience ''(Sanjana)''</span></span>'''<br/> ==

<font size="3">Audience is an important aspect that has to be considered while organizing an Innovation Week. The greater the number, the better it is. Some of the ways to ensure a room full of audience include   </font>

*<font size="3">Promoting and <font size="3">advertising</font> the event.</font>
*<font size="3">Keeping the best interests of the audience involved.</font>
*<font size="3">Offering them something more than that is expected.</font>

== '''<span dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:medium;">Cost & Funding ''(Sanjana)''</span></span>''' ==

<font size="3">Costing and Funding may become a hurdle if not planned properly. Start by chalking out the requirements and resources. Approach people (Like head of your school, NGO worker etc) who are in the same field of interest and who can help you to fund this session at your school. A proper planning  can help you optimize your costs.</font>

== <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;">The first task when organizing an innovation week at your school is to choose a date.  Instead of searching for a free week when no events are being held, do the opposite and host your event at the same time.  This way, your innovation week activity will recieve lots of promotion and attract a larger audience</span></span> ==

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;">The activity itself should appeal to the masses and leave the audience with a fresh perspective.  You want their attention the minute they arrive, and want them leaving feeling like they experienced something new.  Decide what you want your audience members to takeaway from the activity, and how you want them to feel throughout.  Examples include Ted Talks, and makerspace events.  Another way to attract students is to give them incentives such as free food and prizes.</span></span>

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;">Also, set reach goals.  These are goals that are almost impossible to obtain, but are great to work towards and will benefit your event whether or not its achieved.  </span></span>
