This institution would operated as a quasi-business under control of the university.

It also serves as a focal point for others who lack programming experience to seek out assistance on projects and business ideas. Foreign students have much to gain as well, as their visas prohibit work outside of the school.

This could use a little revamp into something more user and mobile friendly, and that provides more information. Ideally, every project, place, group, etc. that relates to I&E would get their own web page(s). This would be easier to acchomplish with the above mentioned strategy and could possibly serve as a first project.</span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''<span style="font-size:large;">Task 1: scout for (and secure) talent</span>'''<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: medium;">Mason SRCT (student run computing and technology), web/graphic design courses are the first places to recruit.</span><br /> <br /> '''<span style="font-size:large;">Task 2: contact relevent organizations, projects, and people</span>'''<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: medium;">This is meant to be a central online hub for students to connect and learn about everythign I&E on campus, which means that every relevant stakeholder should have a spot.

Funding could come from departments, the Provost office, or grants offered through a few departments. The Auxiliary Enterprises grant is one particular option, and awards funding for projects that fall within the school's mission statement.&nbsp;</font><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''<span style="font-size:x-large;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Strategy 5: Create I&E Living and Learning Community (LLC)</span></span>'''<br /> <br /> <br/><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;">George Mason has a Business and Economics living and learning community for freshman. Expanding this to incorporate other years and a more entrepreneurial curriculum/atmoshper will allow students at various levels and backgrounds to become involved in our growing I&E environment. Students at various experience levels can mentor the younger members, and the multidisciplinary approach will allows the program to be much more comprehensive - from idea generation, construction, and depolyment. &nbsp;</span></span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''<span style="font-size:x-large;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Strategy 6: Mason I&E Fellows/ University Innovation Freshman</span></span>'''<br /> <br /> <font size="3">Another project we as a team plan to pursue is to create a Mason-run Innovation and Entreprenuership cohort. The proposal is to bring in a team of students early on as freshmans or sophmores and through their time as Mason students, have them plan and execute projects all over campus that promote innovation and entreprenuerhip. This plan's objective is to make I&E part of the Mason culture and in addition to have a self-sustaining model.&nbsp;</font><br /> <br /> '''<span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Task 1: Develop guidelines/curriculum - mission statement</span></span>'''<br /> <br /> '''<span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Task 2: Develop projects and initiatives for students to pursue&nbsp;</span></span>'''<br /> <br /> '''<span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Task 2: Advertise in specific courses</span></span>'''<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> = <span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp;Related Links:</span></span> =<br /> <br /> [[George Mason University|<font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="4">George Mason University</font>]]<br /> <br /> <font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="4">'''George_Mason_University_Student_Priorities'''</font><br /> <br /> [[Ethan Ellert|'''Ethan Ellert''']]<br /> <br /> '''[[Tetis Chang|Tetis_Chang]]'''<br /> <br /> '''[[Jason Force|Jason_Force]]'''<br /> <br /> [[Nicole Parker|Nicole Parker]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Student Priorities|Student_Priorities]]</div>

So far, there are multiple organization and spaces open for students.</span></span></span><br /> <ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><br /> <li><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-e51d639c-90b7-09b0-ea35-e29e6ad45251"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">MIX (Mason Innovation Exchange)</span></span></span><ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><br /> <li><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-e51d639c-90b7-09b0-ea35-e29e6ad45251"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Opening this October, The MIX will act as a open space for both Mason Students and the local community (on weekends) to have access to equipment such as 3D printers, microcontroller library and much more.</span></span></span></li><br /> <li><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-e51d639c-90b7-09b0-ea35-e29e6ad45251"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This space is student-run and also will host competitions and workshops.</span></span></span></li><br /> </ul></li><br /> <li><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-e51d639c-90b7-09b0-ea35-e29e6ad45251"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Innovation Lab</span></span></span><ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><br /> <li><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-e51d639c-90b7-09b0-ea35-e29e6ad45251"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Run by the School of Business, Innovation Lab is a 2 month program that helps students and alumni develop a focused business plan and a MVP (Minimum Viable Product)</span></span></span></li><br /> </ul></li><br /> <li><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-e51d639c-90b7-09b0-ea35-e29e6ad45251"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Startup Mason</span></span></span></li><br /> </ul><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:x-large;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">'''Strategy 1: Increase Awareness of current I&E'''</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: medium;">George Mason has several resources to offer, but often times our students are unaward of them or who to contact. Projects are interdisciplinary and will almost always require insight from different areas of study in order to succeed. We want to see more involvement in our clubs, especially now with the establishment of the Mason Innovation Exchange.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: medium;">Fliers and listsev emails are the most common ways of advertising on campus. This can be effective, and attract the people who are looking, but with a school of three campuses and over 33,000 students this can only go so far.</span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">'''Task 1: Expand visiting lecture programs&nbsp;'''</span></span><br /> <br /> George Mason has a TEDx program that hosts muliplte speakers in addition to an anual conference. Inviting a successful entrepreneur/startup in the DC area, or a Mason alum to give a talk would be an excellent way to inspire students.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> <br/><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">'''Task 2: Pitches in classrooms'''</span></span><br /> <br /> Making short pitches in business and engineering courses is the most direct way to engage with students and advertise I&E opportunities around campus. A simple and effectivep pitch is a cheap but powerful tool. Our fellows do have limited time and scheduling visits with professors must be done well in advance.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:x-large;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">'''Strategy 2: Introduce new (zero-credit to start) Course&nbsp;'''</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;">Innovation requires collaboration. Creating and running a company requires brining in diverse skill sets to complete a variety of different tasks. Why keep students within their respective schools for most of their college careers then?</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;">Many majors have senoior capstone or design courses, and while these are useful and often times require a few years of experience and knowledge to complete, it may be worth while to create an early stage design class. This one will be interdisciplinary, with the intention of forging creative and strong relationships with different schools and majors early on.</span><br /> <br /> '''<span style="font-family: tahoma, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Task 1: meet with target departments</span>'''<br /> <br /> '''<span style="font-family: tahoma, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Task 2: develop course outline&nbsp;</span>'''<br /> <br /> '''<span style="font-family: tahoma, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Task 3: gauge opinion of students (lean startup, right?!)</span>'''<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:x-large;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">'''Strategy 3: Interdisciplinary app/web building organization&nbsp;'''</span></span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: medium;">This idea was inspired by successful projects at other schools. This institution would operated as a quasi-business under control of the university. Students would be selected through a hiring process and work on projects in three main categories:</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: medium;">1) app and web development</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: medium;">2) web and graphic design</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: medium;">3) maintenaince and analytics</span><br /> <br /> <font size="3">Students can earn money, develop connections, and build a portfolio that will help secure successful jobs upon graduation. It also serves as a focal point for others who lack programming experience to seek out assistance on projects and business ideas. Foreign students have much to gain as well, as their visas prohibit work outside of the school. Because this would be a part of the university, we can provide solid, career related work.</font><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:large;">'''Task 1: Meet with relevant groups and departments'''</span></span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;">Task 2: Recruit members</span></span>'''<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''<span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Task 3: Draft proposal to send to Provost and departments</span></span>'''<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''<span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Task 4: Pound the pavement and use school networks to assemble client list</span></span>'''<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''<span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Task 5: Seek out partnerships - Google Partners, establish Google Developers Group&nbsp;</span></span>'''<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''<span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:large;">Task 6: Develop school hackathon&nbsp;</span></span>'''<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:x-large;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">'''Strategy 4: Centralized website'''</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: medium;">There is a very basic structure website (makers.onmason.com) that currenly serves as our hub for resources and groups on campus.

The Innovation Lab, added in 2014, provides curriculum, mentors, shared work space, activities, and a small stipend for student teams to develop and accelerate their ideas. The Laboratory for IT Entrepreneurshipp, run by professors in the School of Engineering provides advising to student teams and hosts two pitch competitons annually.&nbsp;</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: tahoma, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The Mason innovation Exchange was opended this semester (Fall 2015), and provides a large open area for student to interact and build with 3D printers, sodering equipment, and (hopefully) a laser cutter. The MIX is located in a large academic bulding that is not associated with any particuluar department, with the intent of attracting students from a vairety of backgrounds and interests.&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> [[File:GMUMIX.png]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''<span style="font-size:x-large;">Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship</span>'''<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:larger;">Our faculty are one of our most vital I&E resources on campus and can be a catalyst for student entrepreneneurship. Several of Mason professors are actively invovled in award winning research, product development, and startups.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:larger;">Dr. Lofaro, a robotics professor in the School of Engineering, created Lofaros Labs, which is home to several cutting edge research projects focused on the development of innovative and low cost robotics systems.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: larger;">Jim Wolfe, our entrepreneur in residence has either created, advides, or invested in over 50 startups in his career. He is currently working on a company with technology developed by and owned by the school called FirstGuard.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;">A team lead by computer science Professor Jeff Offutt was awarded a large grant from Google's Computer Science Capacity Awards program this past spring. The project aims to create&nbsp;an <font color="#444444"><span style="line-height: 18.2px;">innovative teaching model of self-paced introductory programming courses.</span></font></span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''<span style="font-size:x-large;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Actively supporting the unniverstiy technology transfer function</span></span>'''<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''<span style="font-size:x-large;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Facilitating university-industry collaboration</span></span>'''<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">George Mason is ever expanding and growing our relationships with companies within the region.
