Nico Osben:

Nicolás is a civil industrial engineering student, at Universidad del Desarrollo (Chile), who is on his way to become a fellow.[[File:Nosben.jpg|thumb]]

His "work", until now, is having participated in different volunteerings, specially in "Trabajos de Verano". Trabajos de Verano is one of his passions. There, they build houses to families in need, that can not afford to buy one. Currently,  he is a part of the staff from that volunteering. 

Nico (as friends call him) has another passion too, innovation. He got an innovation minor degree through the years he has been studying, and one of the subjects from this minor was social innovation. In that class, he started thinking how he could help people by innovating. This idea turned into the legacy he wants to leave behind; make a change, no matter the cost.

One of his favourite phrases is: "Maybe you can not change the world, but you can change the world to someone". Under that, he wants to continue in volunteerings.

He also likes fishing, skiing, basketball and hanging out with friends.

The story of this 21 years-old man is still being written.

== FashionHack ==

Hackathons are great way to encourage creativity and competition for new ideas on campus. Getting students into the lab to build around an idea for a set time period would be a great way to get students in the entrepreneurial mindset. The #FashionHack here at Spelman is something that is in the works. A student felt as though it was time to bring the culture of Hackthons on campus for Spelman students to become engaged in the activity. The #FashionHack would be a hackathon that would be annually hosted on campus  in the innovation lab for students to come together and be able to think about new ideas utilizing innovation lab materials and machinery to create a new design for Spelman clothing. The idea is that students will think of a design and implement it so that it can be presented to a group of judges for them to determine the best design. The design that wins would be sold in the Spelman College bookstore to other students.

Milestones
<ol style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Picking a weekend that most students are on campus and would be able to allocate their time to the competition the same time every year. (Usually the beginning of the semester.)</li>
<li>Spreading the word so that at least 40 students with diverse majors (not just computer science and engineering majors) are engaged and are ready to participate.</li>
<li>Getting faculty involved would be great because they can serve as the judges for the portion of the competition that needs to be judged. Faculty could sign up or they can be chosen so that there is a group from with candidates from different departments.</li>
<li>Designate the time period that the students will be working. Work out the kinks. Allocate time specifically to working on their project. Plan out the itinerary of the event and how the room will be managed to be dedicated to everyone’s needs.</li>
<li>Allow for a lot of help. Putting on an event like this can go wrong and we want it to be great the first time around so that it can become a tradition (maybe with different themes each year). Make a sign-up sheet and blast out the event when promotion is solid to all campus students interested in helping. Those who help should have attended a hackathon at least once and should attend a workshop on how the event will run prior to the real thing.</li>
<li>Make sure that there is plenty feedback from the event to make sure that the program gets better as it is continued in the future.</li>
</ol>

== Spelman & Company ==

Students would have the opportunity to be partnered with companies outside of the school community to get a better understanding of how startups operate. This would include students sitting down with managers/business owners of real companies and understanding the business model and getting to know every aspect of the company. The student should then think of ways to make the company better whether that be adjusting the business model to increase earnings or to come up with ideas to make increase the consumer base. Students will get the skill set they need to learn how to run and begin their own business. The purpose of this project would be for students to be involved in the business and learn about entrepreneurship through real world problems.

Milestones:
<ol style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>First there would have to be a list of companies that sign up to take students into their business and learn the operations of the business. These companies would have to have to be a startup and exhibit a cutting edge environment that promoted innovation.</li>
<li>Then students who are interested in getting experience in this industry would be able to sign up to be matched. There would have to be a process to match candidates with the best fit company for them.</li>
<li>Students will then learn the business model of the company and the ins and outs of it. They will become well acquainted with the whole business so that they understand how the business actually operates.</li>
<li>Students will then utilize the lab to create and become innovative and think up ideas on how to create a better environment and better the company.</li>
<li>Students will be compensated from a grant proposal to work on these projects.</li>
<li>Students will present their contribution of the work they’ve done to a group of people to show the impact and entrepreneurship skills they possess.</li>
</ol>

== PitchWorks ==

Students would engage in a project that is iterative and gave them the opportunity to solve a real world obstacle. They would undergo a certain training to develop and idea, iterate on it, and then implement it. They would then be able to present it to a group of judges that held high positions and are well versed with pitching. These individuals might be VC’s or investors and could potentially invest in the idea. This will encourage a startup culture on campus and encourage students to actually implement their ideas.

       Milestones:
<ol style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Students will attend an orientation introducing them to different concepts around entrepreneurship.</li>
<li>Students will receive a guide that will introduce them to the concept of entrepreneurship and intensive steps on how to solve a problem.</li>
<li>Students will dedicate time to the innovation lab and make their idea come to life.</li>
<li>They will then layout a plan to implement a business model.</li>
<li>They will prepare a speech for their pitch.</li>
<li>There will be a pitch competition for students to pitch to VC’s.</li>
</ol>

Nico Osben:

= Fall 2017 Priorities:  =

Since some time, Universidad del Desarrollo has invested many resources to improve the innovation and entrepreneurship enviroment by building a place just ment for that and by creating an amazing ecosystem to all of the students and personel that work there. The most importante place called Plaza i, let student's gather and discuss problems or/and create projects to solve any type of problem they find in our campuses. 
<div> </div><div>Even with all the great things our university has done to improve this ecosystem and to make students feel interest to be a part of it, the current I&E ecosystem is a little bit confusing and complicated. This makes it hard for students to feel there's a place where they can gather whenever they want and where they realize problems can be solved.  </div><div> </div><div>Those are the reasons why not every student is keen to this ecosystem and why not everyone knows about everything that is available on campus. Along with that, there are interdisciplinary activities missing where students can get more tools about I&E and put in practice what they already know about those subjects.</div>
The priorities are to get to the students, make them close to the I&E ecosystem and let them use every opportunity that is available on campus to make them better at what they do everyday and to make them feel they have the space to become great problem solvers. 

= Strategy #1: I&E Web Page =

The strategy consists in a webpage that connects all the I&E information on UDD's campus

On the first page one can access to other I&E related links (from campus), such as iCubo and dLab. Besides that, it has three main parts:

One: A section with every course about I&E available plus one I&E community section. There, students can meet with others and speak about their ideas.

Two:I&E community, where they can schedule meetings and attend to different activities in “Plaza i” and “Espacio i”.

Three: Ideas and projects. This part is divided in 4 sections. These sections are the different stages of every idea or project. The first one is for students that have only one idea that they want to develop.The second one is for ideas or projects that already started developing. The third section is for ideas or projects that are more advanced, and the last one is for ideas that are finished developing and want to start entrepreneuring (make them real).

In everyone of these sections, there are different key points available, such as funds, people to co-work with, counseling, programs, incubators, etc. All of this information well classified in order to make the students get to the info, and not get the info to the students (we all get emails, but no one really cares about them, and a lot of students do not know about all the available opportunities to become an entrepreneur or innovate).

The idea here, is to make it simple and friendly. From students, to students.

== Tactic #1: Validate the idea ==

Present the web page to other students and faculty members in order to get feedback and see if it's necessary or not.

== Tactic #2: Prototype ==

Test a quick prototype to see if the idea works and if it is interesting for students.

== Tactic #3: Official permission ==

Talk to the people in charge, get the necessary permission and funds to start developing.

== Tactic #4: Web page launch ==

Launch the page and advertise it amongst students.

= Strategy #2: Create interdisciplinary activities in common areas =

This strategy consists in creating monthly challenges in common areas of all the students at university so people of different majors compete together to complete I&E challenges. 

Students will have the chance to participate in an innovation and entrepreneurship challenge once a month to gain a prize. Each challenge will be about different subjects that involve this concepts, and students from different majors will have to conform teams in order to complete them.

Challenges can last 10 minutes or a week and prices will vary depending on that. 

The monthly challenges will help students in different aspects:

#They will work in interdisciplinary groups. This will let students meet new people and work in future ideas that are not related in what they are used to do.
# Students will have to test their abbility to listen and be patience on what others are proposing. This will let them gain more tools to use in their everyday. 
#Challenges will make the I&E ecosystem grow because it'll gain more popularity in the student community.

<parsererror style="display: block; white-space: pre; border: 2px solid #c77; padding: 0 1em 0 1em; margin: 1em; background-color: #fdd; color: black">

== Tactic #2: Test the idea. ==

The second step will be testing the idea in a common area to see if students get interested in participate on the challenge and to get feedback from them.  

== Tactic #3: Paperwork ==

Get the permission and support from the people who will help developing the project. Also, getting the funds or sponsorship to pay for the prices when need it. 

== Tactic #4: Ready to go! ==

Make the first activity for students in an innovative and creative way!

= Strategy #3: S'''tep by Step Innovation Program''' =

 

The strategy consists in creating a “step by step” program in which students can acquire tools for detecting problems that affect our society and have new ideas for solving them.

This program will be divided on monthly sessions. Each month we will develop different contingent issues. We will have two meetings per month. Students will be divided in groups.

 

The first activity is talking about our educational problems. This activity had 2 parts:

*First: write about problems that you can see.

*Second: share what you wrote.

 

First part: We gave the chance to students from all the campus to meet us at Espacio I. We bought some candies for motivating them. The idea was to create a new instance in which students can talk each other and present what problems they see in our campus that can have a direct or indirect impact in our society.

We gave them a paper and asked them to write problems at our campus that might have impact in our city, so they can express calmly their vision about our problems.

Second part: After they wrote in the paper, we gave them the chance to speak and talk about the problem they think we have at the campus. Here is when students started talking each other and exchanging point of views of why this problems exist. Few students proposed well presented problems, the others were not able to do it.

Finished this activity we realized that most of students were not able to analyse deeply our educational system. They did not have enough tools to present problems in an appropriate way. Then, we knew that we needed a mentor who can give us that critical vision and empathy tools for being able to be at different positions and know how it feels. So, we decided to improve our program by having experimented mentors in our sessions so they can work with the groups.

 

== Tactic #1: Validate idea ==
<div></div>
Before the big initiation, we need to talk with our managers so we can present them the program and get some feedback so that we can improve it.

== Tactic #2: Meeting #0 ==
<div></div>
We must test our idea and see how students react to this new program.

== Tactic #3: “Yes, you can”. ==
<div></div>
We must ask for the adecuated permissions to the people in charge of Espacio I, so we can use that place.

== Tactic #4: “We are in!”. ==
<div></div>
After all the tactics we can begin to develop our program.

= Strategy #4: Change Places for Students =
<div> </div><div> </div>
*Design a poster and leave it in every computer as a wallpaper to motivate students to go to the Plaza i, and there they have an induction of the place.

*Modification: Add to the screensaver (poster) an incentive, for example free pizza, to go visit the building.
<div> </div><div> </div><div>Reflection: At first sight, some of the audience will be interested in going to visit the building, getting to know about what happens there, and take part of the projects. Also, it will probably be a minor number of people. Improving the screensaver with an incentive, can bring more people to get to know the place and later, eventually, become interested in the building itself and its projects.</div><div> </div><div>Adaptation: At first, my idea was to make students aware of a place that could give them tools for innovation that they didn't have nor use through a publicity that was going to be deployed as a wallpaper in the lab. computers (wich are pretty much used by every student nowadays). But seeing the board made me realize that this could be a lot bigger, I think that if we manage to set a plan that develope this big abstract "innovation" concept through different and more tangible aspects like (mindsets philosophy, coding, etc) in a ten month period that could be displayed as a thematic publicity that engage with students in all ways (Social media, faculty banners, apparel, etc). A big opportunity could be created for different segments to relate. For example, entrepreneurs could be involved in the process so they can expose their projects to the students but also to different market sponsors that could be interested like (Hardware, software, telecommunications, etc) in the networks created. In this process, students can engage with entrepreneurs and even create relationships that could become collaborative projects. This of course enabled by a well designed program/campaing that could lure stundents to this activities.</div><div> </div>
== Tactic #1: Validate the idea. ==

See if it is feeasible to change computer's wallpapers and carry out the campaign.

== Tactic #2: Desing atractive material. ==

Design wallpapers and broadcast material, that can really atract stutend to the place.

== Tactic #3: Ask for permissions.  ==

We have to get the permissions to change computer's wallpapers, to be able to diffuse and use the building.

== Tactic #4: Ready! ==

Do the activities and invitations. Very important: Buy the pizza! ;)

= Overview =
Universidad del Desarrollo was founded in Concepción, Chile, in the year 1990. At the beginning, in only one city, its goal was bringing excellence to the education of its students. Nowadays, it stands in two cities; Santiago (the capital of Chile) and Concepción, and is a pioneer within innovation and entrepreneurship in the region.In this very long and narrow country, both headquarters are always connected and contributing to form students capable of solving problems and innovating with solutions to help their ecosystem and our country.[[File:Udd foto.jpg|center|Udd foto.jpg]]
= Innovation and Entrepreneurship =
 Almost from its beginning, UDD has been keen to innovation and entrepreneurship. One of the main reasons students choose to study there is because of  this innovative and entrepreneurial spirit.In order to take this spirit into something tangible, different areas and faculties are developing and already developed many programs, clubs and funds. There are ventures, incubators, counseling and other tools to help entrepreneurs and innovators achieve their goals or ideas. The range is wide, there are tools that help students from the very beginning and others that provide all the needs to complete a project.Besides this, there has been an important investment in technology, another aspect in which this University is pioneer in Chile.

= Innovation and Development Vice-Rectory =
 Every UDD-innovation department belongs to the  I&D vice-rectory.This entity has been created under the beliefs of Universidad del Desarrollo and it is in charge of providing students and graduated students to help them grow in every aspect of what they are trying to achieve. For this matter, inside the vice rectory, the community can find many programs, funds, incubators and tools to develop, grow and to finance their projects and dreams. One of its departments, iCubo, is in charge of two new spaces where students meet to find solutions and express their ideas.<div> </div><div> </div>
== ESPACIO I / PLAZA I ==
Following a co-work idea, UDD recently founded two spaces for students from different disciplines to work with each other; “Espacio I” in Concepción and “Plaza I” in Santiago.Both places look for innovative and entrepreneurial students to meet and start working in an interdisciplinary way.[[File:Plazai.jpg|right|Plazai.jpg]]“Espacio I” is a room where the innovation club from Concepción works and meets (alongside other students). Currently, two fellows-to be form a part of that team.“Plaza I” is a co-work building in which students reunite and develop projects from themselves. The goal there is to make everything interdisciplinary, so that the ideas of each student are tackled in every possible aspect.This spaces are contributing to the innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem for students at Universidad del Desarrollo. This inversions are promoting the University goals and developing a better way to teach students to find solutions in teams.

= Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration =
Throughout its beginnings Universidad del Desarrollo has always been committed in forming students who are constantly searching for opportunities to create and innovate in different aspects that surround people everyday. In this matter, the University encourages students to consider in every step of the way their ethical behavior and to accept challenges and uncertainty. This elements represent the commitment of Universidad del Desarrollo to be a part of the globalized world and to form professionals that participate working as teams in solving necessities of the industry.<div> </div>

There, students can meet with others and speak about their ideas.Two:I&E community, where they can schedule meetings and attend to different activities in “Plaza i” and “Espacio i”Three: Ideas and projects. This part is divided in 4 sections. These sections are the different stages of every idea or project. The first one is for students that have only one idea that they want to develop. The second one is for ideas or projects that already started developing. The third section is for ideas or projects that are more advanced, and the last one is for ideas that are finished developing and want to start entrepreneuring (make them real).In everyone of these sections, there are different key points available, such as funds, people to co-work with, counseling, programs, incubators, etc. All of this information well classified in order to make the students get to the info, and not get the info to the students (we all get mails, but no one really cares about them, and a lot of students do not know about all the available opportunities to become an entrepreneur or innovate)The idea here, is to make it simple and friendly. From students, to students.
== Tactic #1: Validate the idea ==

Present the web page to other students and faculty members in order to get feedback and see if it is necessary or not.



== Tactic #2: Prototype ==

Test a quick prototype to see if the idea works and if it is interesting for students.



== Tactic #3: Official permission ==

Talk to the people in charge, get the necessary permission and funds to start developing.

== Tactic #4: Web page launch ==

Launch the page and advertise it amongst students.

Resource:How to organize a student volunteer community

2017-09-09T23:01:38Z

Nico Osben:

== Intro ==

Volunteering is an integral part of today's society. It demonstrates the willingness people have for the better their prospective colleges campuses and surrounding communities and promotes networking within a community.There has been a growth in the amount of people interested in helping and it is important to organize them. A large portion from this amount are students. Therefore, making a community or organization becomes a need.
<div> </div>
== Need and goal ==
Volunteers Together, as it says on its [https://www.facebook.com/volunteerstogether Facebook] page, has the mission of ''empowering students to cultivate a brighter tomorrow through service learning ''and ''strengthening volunteerism in Grand Forks by bridging the gap between the students of the University of North Dakota and the community. ''By taking acocount of this need for volunteering of the students of UND, this network helps their members to find the best place to volunteer for them. This student-focused organization started on January 2017, currently having aproximately 200 members.<div>Despite the common experience that many college student have busy academic schedules, volunteering is necessary for cultivating a better world. The goal is it to appeal to all students with all types of volunteering needs, so the question that stands is, how to make volunteering appeal to all students? Organizing a student volunteer community involves building a foundational structure that welcomes all students of different volunteering experiences to give back to their perspective community. The need for building a foundation is for long-term sustainability of the volunteering community. </div><div> </div>
== Academic support ==
<div>Supports needed for facilitating a student volunteer community includes not only organizations on campus, like existing community service centers or community engagement student organizations, but also academic supports. One tip to facilitating a student volunteer community at a prospective college or university should also involve professors. One path into getting professors involved is to share information about volunteer opportunities for professors to share with their students. In addition, professors that teach courses or that require volunteer work can use the information shared as direct access for students to become involved. </div>

<div> </div>
== Leadership ==
<div>Those who organize are involved in building a foundation for the student volunteer community, however, leadership is open to every student who participates. Part of organizing a volunteer community is giving students space to use their voice and stand up for what they believe in. Each student will be in charge of setting their own goals for volunteering and also bare the consequences if goals are not met. </div>

<div> </div>
== Space ==
<div>The best part of organizing is that there is not always a need for tangible space in order to communicate. Students can meet in virtual spaces and communities. These virtual spaces can be used as centralized locations where students build community with other students,  learn about organization in their surrounding communities, and reach out to prospective community organizations for volunteer hours. </div><div> </div>
== Promotion ==
<div>The first step is to develop a brand together. Second, talk with leadership on your perspective college campus. Third, connect folks. Fourth, go to organizations on campus and get their support. One strategy Volunteers together used is they gathered their information into one place; there are all different organizations in one location, with basic descriptions of each organization.</div><div> </div>

Nico Osben:

Nicolás is a civil industrial engineering student, at Universidad del Desarrollo (Chile), who is on his way to become a fellow.[[File:Nosben.jpg|thumb|Nosben.jpg]]

His "work", until now, is having participated in different volunteerings, specially in "Trabajos de Verano". Trabajos de Verano is one of his passions. There, they build houses to families in need, that can not afford to buy one. Currently,  he is a part of the staff from that volunteering. 

Nico (as friends call him) has another passion too, innovation. He got an innovation minor degree through the years he has been studying, and one of the subjects from this minor was social innovation. In that class, he started thinking how he could help people by innovating. This idea turned into the legacy he wants to leave behind; make a change, no matter the cost.

One of his favourite phrases is: "Maybe you can not change the world, but you can change the world to someone". Under that, he wants to continue in volunteerings.

He also likes fishing, skiing, basketball and hanging out with friends.

The story of this 21 years-old man is still being written.
