== Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship ==

As there is only a limited number of support systems in place for innovation and entrepreneurship at Hartwick College, student I&E on campus is in a relatively early stage. However, there has been a recent push within the college to create opportunities for students to engage in I&E. Hartwick College’s curriculum calls for students to take multiple courses that contain some sort of experiential learning component. For example, POSC 310 (Parties and Elections) requires students to get involved in the election cycle, either through volunteering for a campaign, registering voters, attending debates, etc. These courses that encourage students to gain real-world experience have the ability to help foster I&E on campus. Moreover, Hartwick has just recently opened the Center for Craft Food and Beverages, in collaboration with local businesses. The Center supports research collaborations involving students, faculty, and master brewers focused on the biochemistry of brewing. A final example of student innovation and entrepreneurship at Hartwick is the Baker-Simpson Program, which allows rising seniors to work for start-up companies over the summer. These opportunities for experiential learning at Hartwick College will be the starting point for promoting greater student I&E on campus. As the existing infrastructure is built upon, the consequential growth of an I&E culture will follow. Central to the growth of I&E on campus will most definitely be the introduction of a makerspace.

== Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship ==

Although many professors at Hartwick have published research, we did not identify it as a high priority by the college. Within the physical/life sciences, faculty may it hard to conduct research due to the lack of technology available in the laboratories. However, because Hartwick does not offer graduate programs, students are able to conduct research with their professors that is often only available to graduate students. Unfortunately, much of the research done by professors has little to do with I&E.

== Actively supporting the university technology transfer function ==

N/A

== Facilitating university-industry collaboration ==

As previously stated, the new Center for Craft Food and Beverage has opened up the institution and its students and faculty for local businesses to take advantage of. Local businesses look to Hartwick students to conduct research necessary for businesses to make informed decisions about their products. Hartwick’s small size and lack of graduate programs does not provide the high level technical facilities that typically support I&E at larger institutions. Because of this, it is extremely helpful that Hartwick has partnered with graduate programs at other institutions that may supply these resources. Hartwick has a pre-engineering program affiliated with both Clarkson University and Columbia University, as well as a 3+3 program with Albany Law.

== Engaging with local and regional economic development efforts ==

Hartwick College has a large impact on the surrounding community, even in spite of its small population. Hartwick students are connected with members of the local community through volunteer work, internships, research, and employment. The Hartwick PSGE Center links students up with numerous opportunities ranging anywhere from an internship downtown to a grant for research halfway across the world. Although Hartwick College does not have an economic development office, it has The Community Involvement and Volunteerism office (CIV), which helps students find opportunities to get involved and give back to the community.

= Overview: =

Hartwick College is liberal arts undergraduate institution located in Oneonta, NY and has a student population of roughly 1,400 individuals who study 31 different majors. 2017 is the second year Hartwick College has participated in the University Innovation Fellows Program, as part of an effort to increase Innovation and Entrepreneurship on campus.

Through our research, we have identified that our generation (Millennials, people born between '82 and '04) is perceived as a group of lazy and technology-obsessed individuals, when rather we merely have different values and tolls in contrast of previous generations. We have grown up in a world vastly different than that of our predecessors, where there is an update in technology in almost every day, different and updated education system, and a decrease in jobs available. With information pushing through ur veins in a world with fewer predetermined paths we can take, Millennials face a different problem.:''How can I reach success?''

We think if Millennals are able to and together and collaborate to solve problems (acheiving career goals, for example), then together we can change the world. Of course, changing a generation is a tall order, but if collegesand universities can go the distance to change the atmosphere on their campuses, together we can succeed. To implement this project at Hartwick, we came up with four strategies, in addition of what the previous year's cohort came up with to foster a culture of I&E on campus.

Please refer to the video at the end of the page

= Strategies to foster a culture of innovation - By 2016-2017 cohort =

== Strategy #1: Creation of a makerspace with the supplies and resources necessary to inspire/nurture student ideas ==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Maintain support and strong ties with administration</li>
<li>Create relationships with the Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA, currently Business Club)</li>
<li>Have professors in different departments incorporate makerspace into class either through the curriculum or for extra credit</li>
<li>Incorporate community into makerspace (ex. Tech Center for Gravity in Troy, NY associated with RPI)</li>
<li>Look into how corporate sponsors could install endowed funding to maintain makerspace and keep up with technology advances in exchange for collaboration with students (i.e. look for upperclassmen to recruit)</li>
<li>Ensure students find makerspace useful by explaining how all resources can be used (Wick 101/Orientation)</li>
</ul>

== Strategy #2: Regular TedX Talks on campus ==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Tie in TedX talks to campus themes; use campus theme as a source of funding<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Develop campus theme into a student-run program</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Incorporate Ted Talks into faculty classes</li>
<li>Work with other student organizations to put on events like this that will impact different groups: Alliance, Student Senate, etc.</li>
<li>Ensure talks are relevant to students and emotional, not completely based on scholarship</li>
<li>First hold Ted Talk screening events in lieu of hosting an actual TedX Talk to cut down on costs and gain student support/interest.</li>
<li>Open events up to community and SUNY Oneonta students to charge entrance fees AND bring together I&E champions within the larger community.</li>
</ul>

== Strategy #3: Incorporate I&E into Curriculum ==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Identify professors most likely to be interested in teaching I&E.</li>
<li>Have students compete in Innovation Challenges (Utica 2015, SUNY Oneonta 2016)</li>
<li>Ensure professors are able to use all resources in makerspace</li>
<li>Make I&E a LAiP requirement (similar to EL, ILS)</li>
<li>Move tutoring to makerspace</li>
<li>Incorporate I&E into FYS classes to familiarize students with Design Thinking/Lean Startup at beginning of college experience</li>
<li>Heavy emphasis on I&E in senior-level courses where students would be excited to take advantage of networking with leaders of I&E in business</li>
</ul>

== Strategy #4: Give scholarships/funding for I&E projects ==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Develop a program for students to submit proposals for funding</li>
<li>Proposals oriented for on campus or community implementation</li>
<li>Identify a group of faculty willing to select and mentor student projects</li>
<li>Have resources and networking opportunities offered through the maker’s space</li>
<li>Have ideas inspired, and collaborated on in the makerspace</li>
</ul>

= '''Infographic''' =

Please refer to the infographic at the end of this page.

= We are NOT Millennials - By 2017-2018 cohort =

== '''Strategy #1: Programming Design Thinking workshop into Welcome Weekend''' ==

*Bring students from all majors together
*If possible, have students of similar interests (not major/minor based) in one group
*Have a 2-3 hours long workshop where groups are given a challenge to solve

*Invite those businesses to Makerspace (hold an event)
*Invite students from all majors to participate in that event
*Ensure businesses are able to share their problems/issues with students
*Have students come up with a solution to the problems local businesses are facing
*Offer students the opportunity to work with those businesses to resolve their issues (an internship opportunity, for example)
*Make sure students build networks with those businesses

== '''Strategy #4: Shark Tank Design Thinking Course''' ==

*Offer a full semester course on Design Thinking to all students, across all majors
*Have the students come up with a project/product
*Have students work on their idea throughout the semester
*Offer guidance to students if/when they need it
*Have a Shark Tank event at the end of the semester as the "final exam"
*Have alumni be the judges at the event
*Offer students an opportunity to build upon their idea/project (provide funding)
*If they choose to continue working on it, count it as an Honors Program challenge

Priorities:Hartwick College Student Priorities

2017-10-21T00:44:39Z

Farheenfatima:

= Overview: =

Hartwick College is liberal arts undergraduate institution located in Oneonta, NY and has a student population of roughly 1,400 individuals who study 31 different majors. 2017 is the second year Hartwick College has participated in the University Innovation Fellows Program, as part of an effort to increase Innovation and Entrepreneurship on campus.

Through our research, we have identified that our generation (Millennials, people born between '82 and '04) is perceived as a group of lazy and technology-obsessed individuals, when rather we merely have different values and tolls in contrast of previous generations. We have grown up in a world vastly different than that of our predecessors, where there is an update in technology in almost every day, different and updated education system, and a decrease in jobs available. With information pushing through ur veins in a world with fewer predetermined paths we can take, Millennials face a different problem.:''How can I reach success?''

We think if Millennals are able to and together and collaborate to solve problems (acheiving career goals, for example), then together we can change the world. Of course, changing a generation is a tall order, but if collegesand universities can go the distance to change the atmosphere on their campuses, together we can succeed. To implement this project at Hartwick, we came up with four strategies, in addition of what the previous year's cohort came up with to foster a culture of I&E on campus.

= Project Pitch Video =

Please refer to the video at the end of the page

= Strategies to foster a culture of innovation - By 2016-2017 cohort =

== Strategy #1: Creation of a makerspace with the supplies and resources necessary to inspire/nurture student ideas ==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Maintain support and strong ties with administration</li>
<li>Create relationships with the Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA, currently Business Club)</li>
<li>Have professors in different departments incorporate makerspace into class either through the curriculum or for extra credit</li>
<li>Incorporate community into makerspace (ex. Tech Center for Gravity in Troy, NY associated with RPI)</li>
<li>Look into how corporate sponsors could install endowed funding to maintain makerspace and keep up with technology advances in exchange for collaboration with students (i.e. look for upperclassmen to recruit)</li>
<li>Ensure students find makerspace useful by explaining how all resources can be used (Wick 101/Orientation)</li>
</ul>

== Strategy #2: Regular TedX Talks on campus ==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Tie in TedX talks to campus themes; use campus theme as a source of funding<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Develop campus theme into a student-run program</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Incorporate Ted Talks into faculty classes</li>
<li>Work with other student organizations to put on events like this that will impact different groups: Alliance, Student Senate, etc.</li>
<li>Ensure talks are relevant to students and emotional, not completely based on scholarship</li>
<li>First hold Ted Talk screening events in lieu of hosting an actual TedX Talk to cut down on costs and gain student support/interest.</li>
<li>Open events up to community and SUNY Oneonta students to charge entrance fees AND bring together I&E champions within the larger community.</li>
</ul>

== Strategy #3: Incorporate I&E into Curriculum ==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Identify professors most likely to be interested in teaching I&E.</li>
<li>Have students compete in Innovation Challenges (Utica 2015, SUNY Oneonta 2016)</li>
<li>Ensure professors are able to use all resources in makerspace</li>
<li>Make I&E a LAiP requirement (similar to EL, ILS)</li>
<li>Move tutoring to makerspace</li>
<li>Incorporate I&E into FYS classes to familiarize students with Design Thinking/Lean Startup at beginning of college experience</li>
<li>Heavy emphasis on I&E in senior-level courses where students would be excited to take advantage of networking with leaders of I&E in business</li>
</ul>

== Strategy #4: Give scholarships/funding for I&E projects ==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Develop a program for students to submit proposals for funding</li>
<li>Proposals oriented for on campus or community implementation</li>
<li>Identify a group of faculty willing to select and mentor student projects</li>
<li>Have resources and networking opportunities offered through the maker’s space</li>
<li>Have ideas inspired, and collaborated on in the makerspace</li>
</ul>

Of course, changing a generation is a tall order, but if collegesand universities can go the distance to change the atmosphere on their campuses, together we can succeed. To implement this project at Hartwick, we came up with four strategies, in addition of what the previous year's cohort came up with to foster a culture of I&E on campus.

== Strategy #1: Creation of a makerspace with the supplies and resources necessary to inspire/nurture student ideas ==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Maintain support and strong ties with administration</li>
<li>Create relationships with the Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA, currently Business Club)</li>
<li>Have professors in different departments incorporate makerspace into class either through the curriculum or for extra credit</li>
<li>Incorporate community into makerspace (ex. Tech Center for Gravity in Troy, NY associated with RPI)</li>
<li>Look into how corporate sponsors could install endowed funding to maintain makerspace and keep up with technology advances in exchange for collaboration with students (i.e. look for upperclassmen to recruit)</li>
<li>Ensure students find makerspace useful by explaining how all resources can be used (Wick 101/Orientation)</li>
</ul>

== Strategy #2: Regular TedX Talks on campus ==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Tie in TedX talks to campus themes; use campus theme as a source of funding<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Develop campus theme into a student-run program</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Incorporate Ted Talks into faculty classes</li>
<li>Work with other student organizations to put on events like this that will impact different groups: Alliance, Student Senate, etc.</li>
<li>Ensure talks are relevant to students and emotional, not completely based on scholarship</li>
<li>First hold Ted Talk screening events in lieu of hosting an actual TedX Talk to cut down on costs and gain student support/interest.</li>
<li>Open events up to community and SUNY Oneonta students to charge entrance fees AND bring together I&E champions within the larger community.</li>
</ul>

== Strategy #3: Incorporate I&E into Curriculum ==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Identify professors most likely to be interested in teaching I&E.</li>
<li>Have students compete in Innovation Challenges (Utica 2015, SUNY Oneonta 2016)</li>
<li>Ensure professors are able to use all resources in makerspace</li>
<li>Make I&E a LAiP requirement (similar to EL, ILS)</li>
<li>Move tutoring to makerspace</li>
<li>Incorporate I&E into FYS classes to familiarize students with Design Thinking/Lean Startup at beginning of college experience</li>
<li>Heavy emphasis on I&E in senior-level courses where students would be excited to take advantage of networking with leaders of I&E in business</li>
</ul>

== Strategy #4: Give scholarships/funding for I&E projects ==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Develop a program for students to submit proposals for funding</li>
<li>Proposals oriented for on campus or community implementation</li>
<li>Identify a group of faculty willing to select and mentor student projects</li>
<li>Have resources and networking opportunities offered through the maker’s space</li>
<li>Have ideas inspired, and collaborated on in the makerspace</li>

== '''Strategy #1: Programming Design Thinking workshop into Welcome Weekend ''' ==

*Bring students from all majors together
*If possible, have students of similar interests (not major/minor based) in one group
*Have a 2-3 hours long workshop where groups are given a challenge to solve
*Ensure each student group has a mentor (a faculty/staff member, for example)
*Ensure there is networking between the team members

== '''Strategy #2: Training faculty in Design Thinking''' ==

*Identify professors that are most likely to be interested in incorporating Design Thinking challenges in their courses
*Ensure professors are well trained in carrying out these challenges
*Ensure professors are able to understand and use the resources provided to them
*Incorporate Design Thinking into classes

== '''Strategy #3: Inviting local businesses to Makerspace at Hartwick''' ==

*Identify local businesses that need support/help and are willing to seek it out from students
*Invite those businesses to Makerspace (hold an event)
*Invite students from all majors to participate in that event
*Ensure businesses are able to share their problems/issues with students
*Have students come up with a solution to the problems local businesses are facing
*Offer students the opportunity to work with those businesses to resolve their issues (an internship opportunity, for example)
*Make sure students build networks with those businesses

== '''Strategy #4: Shark Tank Design Thinking Course''' ==

*''''''Offer a full semester course on Design Thinking to all students, across all majors
*Have the students come up with a project/product
*Have students work on their idea throughout the semester
*Offer guidance to students if/when they need it
*Have a Shark Tank event at the end of the semester as the "final exam"
*Have alumni be the judges at the event
*Offer students an opportunity to build upon their idea/project (provide funding)
*If they choose to continue working on it, count it as an Honors Program challenge

= Overview: =

Hartwick College is liberal arts undergraduate institution located in Oneonta, NY and has a student population of roughly 1,400 individuals who study 31 different majors. 2017 is the second year Hartwick College has participated in the University Innovation Fellows Program, as part of an effort to increase Innovation and Entrepreneurship on campus.

Through our research, we have identified that our generation (Millennials, people born between '82 and '04) is perceived as a group of lazy and technology-obsessed individuals, when rather we merely have different values and tolls in contrast of previous generations. We have grown up in a world vastly different than that of our predecessors, where there is an update in technology in almost every day, different and updated education system, and a decrease in jobs available. With information pushing through ur veins in a world with fewer predetermined paths we can take, Millennials face a different problem.:''How can I reach success?''

Priorities:Hartwick College Student Priorities

= Overview: =

Hartwick College is liberal arts undergraduate institution located in Oneonta, NY and has a student population of roughly 1,400 individuals who study 31 different majors. 2017 is the second year Hartwick College has participated in the University Innovation Fellows Program, as part of an effort to increase Innovation and Entrepreneurship on campus.

Through our research, we have identified that our generation (Millennials, people born between '82 and '04) is perceived as a group of lazy and technology-obsessed individuals, when rather we merely have different values and tolls in contrast of previous generations. We have grown up in a world vastly different than that of our predecessors, where there is an update in technology in almost every day, different and updated education system, and a decrease in jobs available. With information pushing through ur veins in a world with fewer predetermined paths we can take, Millennials face a different problem.:''How can I reach success?''

We think if Millennals are able to and together and collaborate to solve problems (acheiving career goals, for example), then together we can change the world. Of course, changing a generation is a tall order, but if collegesand universities can go the distance to change the atmosphere on their campuses, together we can succeed. To implement this project at Hartwick, we came up with four strategies, in addition of what the previous year's cohort came up with to foster a culture of I&E on campus.

= Campus Overview =

== Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship ==

As there is only a limited number of support systems in place for innovation and entrepreneurship at Hartwick College, student I&E on campus is in a relatively early stage. However, there has been a recent push within the college to create opportunities for students to engage in I&E. Hartwick College’s curriculum calls for students to take multiple courses that contain some sort of experiential learning component. For example, POSC 310 (Parties and Elections) requires students to get involved in the election cycle, either through volunteering for a campaign, registering voters, attending debates, etc. These courses that encourage students to gain real-world experience have the ability to help foster I&E on campus. Moreover, Hartwick has just recently opened the Center for Craft Food and Beverages, in collaboration with local businesses. The Center supports research collaborations involving students, faculty, and master brewers focused on the biochemistry of brewing. A final example of student innovation and entrepreneurship at Hartwick is the Baker-Simpson Program, which allows rising seniors to work for start-up companies over the summer. These opportunities for experiential learning at Hartwick College will be the starting point for promoting greater student I&E on campus. As the existing infrastructure is built upon, the consequential growth of an I&E culture will follow. Central to the growth of I&E on campus will most definitely be the introduction of a makerspace.

== Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship ==

Although many professors at Hartwick have published research, we did not identify it as a high priority by the college. Within the physical/life sciences, faculty may it hard to conduct research due to the lack of technology available in the laboratories. However, because Hartwick does not offer graduate programs, students are able to conduct research with their professors that is often only available to graduate students. Unfortunately, much of the research done by professors has little to do with I&E.

== Actively supporting the university technology transfer function ==

N/A

== Facilitating university-industry collaboration ==

As previously stated, the new Center for Craft Food and Beverage has opened up the institution and its students and faculty for local businesses to take advantage of. Local businesses look to Hartwick students to conduct research necessary for businesses to make informed decisions about their products. Hartwick’s small size and lack of graduate programs does not provide the high level technical facilities that typically support I&E at larger institutions. Because of this, it is extremely helpful that Hartwick has partnered with graduate programs at other institutions that may supply these resources. Hartwick has a pre-engineering program affiliated with both Clarkson University and Columbia University, as well as a 3+3 program with Albany Law.

== Engaging with local and regional economic development efforts ==

Hartwick College has a large impact on the surrounding community, even in spite of its small population. Hartwick students are connected with members of the local community through volunteer work, internships, research, and employment. The Hartwick PSGE Center links students up with numerous opportunities ranging anywhere from an internship downtown to a grant for research halfway across the world. Although Hartwick College does not have an economic development office, it has The Community Involvement and Volunteerism office (CIV), which helps students find opportunities to get involved and give back to the community.

Resource:How to organize a TEDx event on your campus

2017-09-09T01:48:52Z

Farheenfatima:

HOW TO ORGANIZE A TEDX EVENT<div dir="ltr" style="margin-left:0pt;"></div>Hannah Hund is currently pursuing biomedical engineering (BME) at Wichita State University (WSU). Hund started in mechanical engineering but switched to BME because she wanted to work directly with people. She is excited about the current trend of innovation in the biomedical industry and the innovation opportunities offered at WSU. Hund is a Wallace Scholar, WSU Undergraduate Research Grant recipient, and BEETS Summer Research Grant recipient. She is working towards creating an on campus organization to attract students interested in entrepreneurship and innovation. Hund wanted to showcase ideas that matter to the community, so she formed a team with her peers to conduct a TEDx event at her school that would have a lasting impact. 
WHAT IS TEDx ?
A TEDx Talk is a showcase for speakers to present great, well-formed ideas in a short time. One reason the short talk model works is that it only demands the audience's’ attention for a short period of time. Thus, decreasing the chances of minds wandering or daydreaming. In fact, some of the greatest TED Talks were as short as 5 minutes. [http://ted.com/ ted.com]uploads these talks online for users across the world to access them for free. 
HOW TO GET STARTED?
According to Hannah, the first and the most important factor for conducting a TEDx event is to have a compelling “what” and a strong “why” that has the potential to influence people.Her next step was to get a license from [https://www.ted.com/ ted.com]. Hannah did not apply for the license, instead one of her team members applied for it as an individual. Since TED only allows one license holder for each TEDx event, Hannah did not have to get the license. Before issuing the license, people at TED make sure that the person applying is passionate about his or her TEDx event topic. That was one of the reasons why it took Hannah’s friend 5 tries to get the license. But eventually, he got it and became part of the TED community. One piece of advice that Hannah had was to not get discouraged by being rejected and to keep pursuing the license. The license can be used for no more than a 150 person event. Hannah found that a great way to get around this was to cycle people in the audience in between speakers, effectively allowing her event to have 300 people.After getting the license, Hannah identified people on her campus who were interested in working with her. Once she had her team selected, Hannah started to build good relationships with them because: 1) She would be working with them for the next several months. 2) They were part of her team now and if she don’t know who she was working with, was creating a team even worth it?Hannah’s next step in organizing a TEDx event was to pick a date for the event and build a timeline. When picking a date, she made sure to avoid major holidays or events.Next, Hannah, along with her team, used TEDx guide, available at [http://www.ted.com/participate/organize-a-local-tedx-event ted.com], as a resource to identify key resources needed for the event. 
KEY RESOURCEs
Hannah and her team identified the following as the key resources for organizing a TEDx event.<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Speakers</li>
<li>Speaker coaches</li>
<li>Stage and video production</li>
<li>Sponsors</li>
</ul>

 SPEAKERS
According to Hannah, speakers are the most important part of a TEDx event because they are the ones who have ideas worth spreading. In order to have as many people as possible involved and to have diversity among the speakers, Hannah and her team sent out flash news to alumni, current students, and community members who might have had good ideas and wanted to spread them through TEDx event. They came up with an application that was filled by the candidates. This was a good way to figure out who was the best fit for the event. While reading the applications submitted by the speakers, Hannah noticed that there were two versions of speeches. They are:<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Idea and invention no one has heard about.</li>
<li>Basic idea that almost everyone knows about but the speaker has a compelling new argument about it.</li>
</ul>

 SPEAKER COACHES
Commonly overlooked, speaker coaches are vital to producing a quality TEDx talk. Many speakers have great idea, but lack in public speaking skills. If the ideas are not well articulated, they may not reach the audience with the intended effect. This is why speaker coaches are an essential component for TEDx events.Speaker coaches can help speakers refine their presentations through collaboration, practice, and constructive feedback. To build a team of speaker coaches, Hannah looked at her campus for people with a focus in communication. If you are unable to find good candidates for speaker coaches on your campus, you may have to hire some professionals. This, also, is a great time to find sponsors who would be willing to pay for speaker coaches or other costs associated with the event. STAGE AND VIDEO PRODUCTION When hosting a TEDx event, you and your team will be required to manage the stage and video production. Although there isn’t a specific stage design required for TEDx events, it is recommended to have a large, red TEDx logo present on one side of the stage. While planning your stage design it is good to reach out to your school’s theater department, if there is one, and get them involved in the team.When it comes to video production, hiring a professional team to produce and edit the videos can be quite expensive. So, it’s best to find people on your campus (i.e. in film and media clubs) that have photography/filming skills. 
SPONSORS
Check the [https://www.ted.com/ TEDx website]in advance about information on who can and who cannot sponsor. Hannah and her team got some businesses to sponsor their event. So, they inserted a slide at the beginning and end of each speaker’s presentation to advertise their sponsors.Hannah had many sponsors telling her that they will only sponsor if Hannah let one of their speakers speak during the event. Hannah and her team refused the offers because they knew that those speakers would not be spreading ideas related to the event topic, instead they would be using the event as a marketing opportunity for their businesses.
 Selling Tickets
Dividing tickets among faculty, students, and community is a good idea because it gives everyone an opportunity to attend the event, but at the same time allows you to control the percentages of students, faculty, and the community who will be participating.You don’t have to charge for the tickets but you can do as long as it’s under $100 (US dollars).  Nevertheless, it’s a good idea to make it accessible and easier for people to buy the ticket.You can also charge different amounts for different types of participants. Hannah charged $5 for students, $15 for faculty, and $25 for community members and had 25% of the tickets reserved for faculty, 25% for community, and 50% for students. 
FAQ’s

 What was your “what” and why did you choose it?
Creativity, curiosity, and connection were the words that described the theme of Hannah’s event. This theme worked out pretty good because it’s broad enough to include varieties of ideas, but at the same time specific enough to not branch off into just any idea. 
What was Hannah’s strong why?

To showcase ideas that matter to the community. How many people were on the team and what was the time commitment for each?
Initially, there were about 5 people on Hannah’s team, including students and faculty, but later in the process, the stage and video production people also joined in.They met every two weeks and worked a lot of hours as a team, but the individual workload depended on who you were and what you did (your skills). 
When was the event held and when did you start working on it?

Event was held in April. Hannah started organizing the event in August of the previous year. How long was the event?

The event went on for about five and half hours with three sessions. Each session had three speakers and was about one and half hours long. Why did it take nine months to organize the event?
Speakers need quite a while to prepare their speeches since most of them are not very good at presenting their ideas.The team, especially, needs time for people to apply, review applications, send out results, find sponsors, and make sure all the details about the event are correct.
 Do speakers and audience interact with each other?
Speakers and audience don’t interact much unless it’s part of the talk and the speaker wants to interact with the audience. 
Do You Have Any Regrets?

Not realizing the importance of speaker coaches was a big mistake. What are some common mistakes made by people when holding an event?
Assuming you can do it quickly and easily is the biggest mistake. Another one is  not realizing how much of a production TEDx is. 
Did you have to bring in concessions?

No, her event featured cookies and tea however.

If Hannah held the event again, would she pick a different team?
Maybe, it’s just a matter of who is available. It’s good to include people on the team that are enthusiastic and have complementary skills to you and have the motivation to work.Related Links:[[BABITHA_PADIRI|Babitha Padiri]][[Farheen Fatima|Farheen Fatima]][[Ramya sripada|Ramya Sripada]][[Phani01|Phanikumar Sala]]

If you are unable to find good candidates for speaker coaches on your campus, you may have to hire some professionals. This, also, is a great time to find sponsors who would be willing to pay for speaker coaches or other costs associated with the event. STAGE AND VIDEO PRODUCTION When hosting a TEDx event, you and your team will be required to manage the stage and video production. Although there isn’t a specific stage design required for TEDx events, it is recommended to have a large, red TEDx logo present on one side of the stage. While planning your stage design it is good to reach out to your school’s theater department, if there is one, and get them involved in the team.When it comes to video production, hiring a professional team to produce and edit the videos can be quite expensive. So, it’s best to find people on your campus (i.e. in film and media clubs) that have photography/filming skills. 
SPONSORS
Check the [https://www.ted.com/ TEDx website]in advance about information on who can and who cannot sponsor. Hannah and her team got some businesses to sponsor their event. So, they inserted a slide at the beginning and end of each speaker’s presentation to advertise their sponsors.Hannah had many sponsors telling her that they will only sponsor if Hannah let one of their speakers speak during the event. Hannah and her team refused the offers because they knew that those speakers would not be spreading ideas related to the event topic, instead they would be using the event as a marketing opportunity for their businesses.
 Selling Tickets
Dividing tickets among faculty, students, and community is a good idea because it gives everyone an opportunity to attend the event, but at the same time allows you to control the percentages of students, faculty, and the community who will be participating.You don’t have to charge for the tickets but you can do as long as it’s under $100 (US dollars).  Nevertheless, it’s a good idea to make it accessible and easier for people to buy the ticket.You can also charge different amounts for different types of participants. Hannah charged $5 for students, $15 for faculty, and $25 for community members and had 25% of the tickets reserved for faculty, 25% for community, and 50% for students. 
FAQ’s

 What was your “what” and why did you choose it?
Creativity, curiosity, and connection were the words that described the theme of Hannah’s event. This theme worked out pretty good because it’s broad enough to include varieties of ideas, but at the same time specific enough to not branch off into just any idea. 
What was Hannah’s strong why?

To showcase ideas that matter to the community. How many people were on the team and what was the time commitment for each?
Initially, there were about 5 people on Hannah’s team, including students and faculty, but later in the process, the stage and video production people also joined in.They met every two weeks and worked a lot of hours as a team, but the individual workload depended on who you were and what you did (your skills). 
When was the event held and when did you start working on it?

Event was held in April. Hannah started organizing the event in August of the previous year. How long was the event?

The event went on for about five and half hours with three sessions. Each session had three speakers and was about one and half hours long. Why did it take nine months to organize the event?
Speakers need quite a while to prepare their speeches since most of them are not very good at presenting their ideas.The team, especially, needs time for people to apply, review applications, send out results, find sponsors, and make sure all the details about the event are correct.
 Do speakers and audience interact with each other?
Speakers and audience don’t interact much unless it’s part of the talk and the speaker wants to interact with the audience. 
Do You Have Any Regrets?

Not realizing the importance of speaker coaches was a big mistake. What are some common mistakes made by people when holding an event?
Assuming you can do it quickly and easily is the biggest mistake. Another one is  not realizing how much of a production TEDx is. 
Did you have to bring in concessions?

No, her event featured cookies and tea however.

If Hannah held the event again, would she pick a different team?
Maybe, it’s just a matter of who is available. It’s good to include people on the team that are enthusiastic and have complementary skills to you and have the motivation to work.Related Links:[[Farheen Fatima|Farheen Fatima]][[Ramya sripada|Ramya Sripada]][[Phani01|Phanikumar Sala]]

Resource:How to organize a TEDx event on your campus

Farheenfatima:

HOW TO ORGANIZE A TEDX EVENT<div dir="ltr" style="margin-left:0pt;"></div>Hannah Hund is currently pursuing biomedical engineering (BME) at Wichita State University (WSU). Hund started in mechanical engineering but switched to BME because she wanted to work directly with people. She is excited about the current trend of innovation in the biomedical industry and the innovation opportunities offered at WSU. Hund is a Wallace Scholar, WSU Undergraduate Research Grant recipient, and BEETS Summer Research Grant recipient. She is working towards creating an on campus organization to attract students interested in entrepreneurship and innovation. Hund wanted to showcase ideas that matter to the community, so she formed a team with her peers to conduct a TEDx event at her school that would have a lasting impact. 
WHAT IS TEDx ?
A TEDx Talk is a showcase for speakers to present great, well-formed ideas in a short time. One reason the short talk model works is that it only demands the audience's’ attention for a short period of time. Thus, decreasing the chances of minds wandering or daydreaming. In fact, some of the greatest TED Talks were as short as 5 minutes. [http://ted.com/ ted.com]uploads these talks online for users across the world to access them for free. 
HOW TO GET STARTED?
According to Hannah, the first and the most important factor for conducting a TEDx event is to have a compelling “what” and a strong “why” that has the potential to influence people. Her next step was to get a license from [https://www.ted.com/ ted.com]. Hannah did not apply for the license, instead one of her team members applied for it as an individual. Since TED only allows one license holder for each TEDx event, Hannah did not have to get the license. Before issuing the license, people at TED make sure that the person applying is passionate about his or her TEDx event topic. That was one of the reasons why it took Hannah’s friend 5 tries to get the license. But eventually, he got it and became part of the TED community. One piece of advice that Hannah had was to not get discouraged by being rejected and to keep pursuing the license. The license can be used for no more than a 150 person event. Hannah found that a great way to get around this was to cycle people in the audience in between speakers, effectively allowing her event to have 300 people.After getting the license, Hannah identified people on her campus who were interested in working with her. Once she had her team selected, Hannah started to build good relationships with them because: 1) She would be working with them for the next several months. 2) They were part of her team now and if she don’t know who she was working with, was creating a team even worth it? Hannah’s next step in organizing a TEDx event was to pick a date for the event and build a timeline. When picking a date, she made sure to avoid major holidays or events. Next, Hannah, along with her team, used TEDx guide, available at [http://www.ted.com/participate/organize-a-local-tedx-event ted.com], as a resource to identify key resources needed for the event. 
KEY RESOURCEs
Hannah and her team identified the following as the key resources for organizing a TEDx event.<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Speakers</li>
<li>Speaker coaches</li>
<li>Stage and video production</li>
<li>Sponsors</li>
</ul>

 SPEAKERS
According to Hannah, speakers are the most important part of a TEDx event because they are the ones who have ideas worth spreading. In order to have as many people as possible involved and to have diversity among the speakers, Hannah and her team sent out flash news to alumni, current students, and community members who might have had good ideas and wanted to spread them through TEDx event. They came up with an application that was filled by the candidates. This was a good way to figure out who was the best fit for the event. While reading the applications submitted by the speakers, Hannah noticed that there were two versions of speeches. They are:<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Idea and invention no one has heard about.</li>
<li>Basic idea that almost everyone knows about but the speaker has a compelling new argument about it.</li>
</ul>

 SPEAKER COACHES
Commonly overlooked, speaker coaches are vital to producing a quality TEDx talk. Many speakers have great idea, but lack in public speaking skills. If the ideas are not well articulated, they may not reach the audience with the intended effect. This is why speaker coaches are an essential component for TEDx events. Speaker coaches can help speakers refine their presentations through collaboration, practice, and constructive feedback. To build a team of speaker coaches, Hannah looked at her campus for people with a focus in communication. If you are unable to find good candidates for speaker coaches on your campus, you may have to hire some professionals. This, also, is a great time to find sponsors who would be willing to pay for speaker coaches or other costs associated with the event. STAGE AND VIDEO PRODUCTION When hosting a TEDx event, you and your team will be required to manage the stage and video production. Although there isn’t a specific stage design required for TEDx events, it is recommended to have a large, red TEDx logo present on one side of the stage.

[[File:FarheenFatimaWikiProfile.png|thumb|FarheenFatimaWikiProfile.png]] Farheen is a junior at Hartwick College, majoring in Computer Science and Biology with pre-med track. She was born in Pakistan, but migrated to United States in 2012 at the age of 14. Her high school offered many opportunities, but not being able to speak English, she never really understood the benefits of those offers. Since she was not involved in any extracurricular activities, Farheen decided to take as many courses as possible and kind of became a "studyholic" and stayed like that until her senior year, when she was asked by my New Visions Health teacher to participate in Lemelson-MIT InvenTeam. She thought if a teacher is believing in her, then there must be something special about her that she has still not recognized, so she decided to participate as the Technical Lead and helped her team members create an exoskeleton hand whose purpose was to aid patients with stroke, who have paralysis or paresis of hands and enhance their ability to use their hands. Without even realizing, she slowly took over the team and was acting as the Administrative Lead. Her instructor saw this and said she would make a good leader, and signed her up as the co-leader of the team. Her team presented their product at Lemelson-MIT EurekaFest 2016, and it was a success. When she came to Hartwick, she wanted to do something that would involve the leadership skills she had learned in high school. One of her professors, told her about UIF and said she would be good candidate. Once again, she was in the position where a teacher/professor saw something in her. So, just trusting her experience with L-MIT InvenTeam, she decided to join UIF and was accepted as a candidate.
