Priority 1: Promoting Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship (2021-2022)

This priority focused on reaching out to high school students, community college students and Central Michigan University college students. Introducing students to Entrepreneurship & Innovation. The primary goals for the START Lab program, is to introduce entrepreneurship and innovation to high school students and community college students at college fairs interacting and interactive events. At these events, the goal is student engagement to give students an experience to develop a product or a business idea. Through a mini prototype lab in the lab students will have approximately 20 minutes in total to redesign an existing product using basic blueprint and skills and early stage prototyping the participants will have 5 minutes to draw a rough blueprint. Given 10 minutes to build a rough small scale prototype using materials such as: Cardboard and foam. Once the 10 minutes are up each participant group will present their concepts to the audience will receive feedback likes and dislikes of their designs. They will be given another 10 minutes to improve their design using feedback from the audience. After those 10 minutes are up the audience will vote on which idea, they like the most the winning team members will receive a gift card, all participants will receive a participation certificate via email. (The purpose of sending the certificate through emails is to gain contact information to send more information about the Entrepreneurship program and other programs that Central Michigan University offers.) Students will be given information about innovation challenge week to sign up or at Central Michigan University. The goal of this is to help increase enrollment at Central Michigan University.

And community college students looking at four-year institutions, along with Central Michigan University Freshman and Sophomores that have not decided on a major yet. Each day of the challenge will focus on a different step of developing a product or business idea.

Dyonpadgett: D'Yon Padgett Wiki Bio

My name is D'Yon Padgett. I'm a University Innovation Fellow and an undergraduate student studying Entrepreneurship and Communication minor at Central Michigan University (CMU). My focuses include Entrepreneurship and studying communications. I’m from Ypsilanti, MI, where I’m originally from. I lived there my whole life until 2018 when I moved to Mount Pleasant, MI for college at Central Michigan University. After exploring Central I loved the school and the atmosphere at Central. This summer 2021 I was provided the opportunity to be a part of the University Innovation Fellows.

At Central Michigan University, I’m involved with the College of Business Administration University Innovation Fellowship program and Collective Mentor program at Central Michigan University. In addition, I’m a Collective Mentor at Central Michigan University mentoring incoming freshmen attending college to help whether it’s asking for advice and forming relationships to help assist when the mentees need assistance. In my spare time I’m a figure skating coach. I coach children and adults, and I completed an internship this summer 2021 virtually in Cape Town, South Africa.

From a young age, I have been a figure skater since the age of five years old. Ice skating has been my passion for fifteen years. I have competed in ice skating competitions at a young age. In 2021 I became a recipient of the Feight Family Business Scholarship, an award funded by Keith and Kurt Feight. I’m passionate about entrepreneurship, working on innovative ideas and collaborating with others to bring creative ideas to life. On my campus, I’m interested in expanding the necessary tools I have learned in this program to bring to students what I have learned about entrepreneurship and the UIF program to students to help with fundamentals.
